What mods would be the next craze?

Post by GPXXX »

well we are already starting to see track-styling inspired cars with massive flares, GT wings and racing rims ala JGTC racer... and lately we've been seeing scissor door mods on popular cars now (Celica/Silvia/Civics/Integras etc), so let's have a take on what would be the next fad...

what are your predictions??

i suppose the shape of the spinning disc can be designed in such a way that it'll actually cool down your brakes by suckingout the hot air from the rotors (in similar concept to the vacuum cleaner / ventilation fan haha)

....ok now that's too much. :roll:

light up signange in back window or windscreen

Post by sxcfto »

Yep I would like to be able to have a keyboard attached to the steering wheel mini one of course and be able to have a rollong sign box out the back so you could tell the person behind you to back off and maybe say some other things as well or if he or she is really cute display your phone number ... now that would be an awsome mod !

Does anyone know of any others, and how much would it cost to install... could I do it myself?
