It’s already started to come back in the truck scene. There’s for sure the over the top frame off builds still but A LOT of people are going back to just a level kit or a very very small lift paired with stock wheels and maybe a 35” or 37” mud tire and that’s it. No powder, no lighting, no custom wrap or paint job.

I actually like the mopar stuff but too much section 8 energy for me

OEM + is making a comeback and its great. OEM accessories, high quality mods from high quality brands are coming back. You'll start to see more simple yet cleaner builds.

I’ve been doing OEM plus with a bit of jdm flare on domestic cars for years. It looks good. Domestic cars are cheap just as good and easier to mod most of the times.

More basic builds plz. Love to see realistic builds around put together by someone eating ramen in order to afford parts (let's be real, we have all been there lol). Wide bodies and crazy things are cool and but I am more impressed by the small things people come up with. Been watching Initial D lately and the builds from that anime are exactly what I want to see more of. I get all giddy when people tell me about their weird niche part that signifies a huge thing from Japan car culture that nobody would recognize otherwise.

Brother. You want any car to last, NO TURBO...! Unless your a track king then speed is the word of the wise.

The BEST bang for buck car right now has to go to the c5 corvette. They’re track focused monsters, Chevy was doing pretty well in endurance racing with their c5r. And they take boost like a dream. Criminally underrated car and I’m starting to see more people notice You can also get clean ones for sub $20k still. Some might be higher miles but most owners will be old men who babied it anyways

Shhhh not too loud! lol. I think a lot of people look at C5's and think "slow old grandpa car"... Then they realize with a few inexpensive mods you can make close to 400 hp pretty easily. It's a waaaaaaay faster car than people think lol, even at over 20 years old. Super fun cars, definitely criminally underrated.

I think where going to see more people try to find wheels, bodykit, seat, gauges, audio systems and do livery’s from the early 2000’s also this one not really a trend but I’ve noticed any time I go to meets or shows more people taking pictures with non high quality cameras like 2000’s Digital Camera’s, Older IPhones, Nintendo DS, Handheld Camcorders, vintage Film Cameras, and etc just to get that vintage/retro look

Definitely the camera trend, late 2023 had all the esc4pe edits and it's for sure coming to a rise

I’ve always made sure my interior was well put together and clean and hope that trend catches on for 2024 as well. Driving a fully stripped car is not as comfortable and the interior weight isn’t that much weight. Certain race cars get exceptions but regular weekend cars should still have clean interiors(in my opinion). I even built a hotwheels key that matches my car when I got bored for another small cool addition to driving it

I love OEM+ stuff. throttl does some great builds; replace all the old decrepit suspension and bushings, nice tires+wheels, fix problems, and a new sound system/radio, done!

Keep things simple. Wider wheels (Volk, Advan), coils, OEM lip kit, and exhaust.

Oh best vid of the boys in years. I’m getting so excited for the future every time I see yall together again.

I like using my trunk for function, not stuffed full of giant speakers. Mods that don’t take away from functionality are always best imo.

There's really no trend it's how you want your car to look ,f a trend I roll with my vision, nobody can make me change my project car

That's normally just the case for people with rep kids about 5 minutes after cutting a panel. I've had my Z33 widebodied for 4 years and have never wished I hadn't. Given my kit is 1of1, but then again, I don't build my car to make other people happy or clout chase.

I was originally planning to swap my tan interior for black but I’m thinking maybe I’ll do something custom like dying the tan parts in that butterscotch color. And if it turns out ass then I’ll just do the full black swap. Kinda forgot until watching this video that there is so much you can do to the interior as well.

I've been waiting for a few years now for the c5-c6 to take off in the car scene and i think your right the time is now. They look great with a little JDM flare.

The kids these days call it battle stance but us old heads called it meaty and it ment business and that’s what I’m really ready to see come back in full force

I love the C4 and no one believes me. I want to get one now before they get expensive

The one guy with the odyssey 50 speakers screaming so loud you cant hear the person next to you

the audio stuff is everywhere in South bronx NYC tuner scene us dominicans and puerto ricans just cant stop blasting music everywhere we go

I hope for the OEM+. I always loved car audio. Won some SQ competition in my old hyundai Accent. No engine all sound. Left that aside for a while. Installed my setup after that in my speed3. Wanted to go back in the audio meet and it was all the kind of setup that you showed in the video. It was no longer enjoyable. 145-150dB in car @ 30hz is an amazing feeling for the time of a song. But when you walk by those system blasting a 150-155 outside is mhe. I'm still a firm beliver that getting goosebumps while listening at your favorite song in a well ronded system is one of the most amazing feeling in the world! Pure curiosity what is your favorite SQ demo song? 🚗💥💨🔥

Some retro things coming back like the ps2 in the car led lights mix with time attack or mountin touge wheels

the dude with that yellow fd lives down by me in richmond, i used to regularly see him at cars and coffee

OEM plus forsure. I also think car interiors will get more focus as well. Sound deadening, upgraded speakers and a nice sub setup.

Actually owning one would be a nice mod

lol literally one week i was looking at acura tl, the next week you guys did a video, the week after the prices jumped. like sheeesshhhhh insider trading lol

Love a good fully modded car IF tastefully done. That being said, i love my 2019 Bullitt, OEM plus i suppose w/ spacers ,springs, headers and E85. suuuper clean with full paint correction and ceramic coat. thing makes me smile every time i drive lol

I'm going for OEM++ with my prelude, I think making a car look clean as a whole with afternarket parts that flow with the OEM styling is an art of itself. And once the visuals are done I want to slap some bike carbs on that ol bastard B to give it some more charme and thats about it.

I actually was thinking about getting a vette or not, though the wait is gonna be around 2 to 3 years (still 16 with not much money) I really.. really hope the c5's stay affordable cuz hear me out: A turbo v8 sounds absolutely rad Plus, the places where I live, the market in the car scene is entirely different because laws are quite strict rather, there are more audi's and bmw's and what not cuz it's western europe Either way, are there any tips for getting into the car scene? I'm still 16 and i'm all ears for advice

Here's my prediction for 2024 - Mods that are subtle, or "stealth". In other words, mods that are not screaming "Look at me! Look at me!" and mods that you don't see unless you're looking closely. They could be performance, interior or aftermarket wheels or body accessories that look like they came from the factory. Not the bolt-on wide body kits or outrageous wheels. It's the same thing that women like in men, that quiet confidence not the guy who's clothes scream "Look at me!". Stealth mods, quiet confidence.

happy new year guys

Happy New Year!

Just want to point something out on Dakota's guess. Time attack inspired show cars. AKA race inspired cosmetic enhancements, AKA: RICE.

For car audio I don’t like the big vans full of speakers. What I do love is stuff like 240sx’s with full speaker setups. What I’m saying is extreme car audio setups are cool if it’s not the whole focus of the build

4:50 funny Alex predicted this because I thought the exact same thing since all of the jdm cars are over priced now days. Now just imagine a slammed 5th gen widebody camero painted a dark metalic red on gold TE37s.

Yeah we're niche, but it's fun to show up hang out, have no prob with turning it down.. also thanks for the scion xB shout out ❤

I think functional track mods are what people will admire. Show cars have been done back to front and back again. The audience is maturing and I have seen a huge influx of straight line speed and/or show guys sell their car and buy and elentra n just because it handles amazing (love or hate the looks). They are going to start ooing and awing over functional aero and SS breaklines. I also see heavily modded electric cars becoming cool, much as I hate myself for typing it.

Literally building my m4 f82 as a time attack show car. I completely love the styling, couldn't agree more with Dakota!

the later 405hp C4 Corvette ZR-1 would be a great car, but those are in the "I know what I have" category these days

It's Soo good to see you guys together. Here's a thought you 3 do your own type of top gear type thing with u3 shenanigans car meets all that kind of stuff I think you guys would be amazing for that you guys can be the modern day Clarkson Hammond and James May in your own right. Who agrees with me come on do it do it just do it do it💯!!!!!!!!!

Ive always been on the audio hype. Not to the point of bass comps but just nice street car systems

Audio only makes sense in older cars or cheaper cars that dont already have good audio. Factory sound systems are clean and simple these days while doing a great job. So theres overall less of a reason for it. Oem+ is what's big for the 90s cars because a lot of people are trying to preserve then and keep them clean. Interior usually looks like shit if you go too far. Steering wheel, seats, some lighting etc is the most i see. Exterior and performance will always be the bread and butter of a proper car build.

That title is such an obnoxious clickbait, but now that I'm here, I hope the main trend for 2024 is performance-first builds and the decline of stance/show-no-go in general. I would love to see air suspension become a non-thing, for example. I know it won't happen, but I can dream

Dakota is right on the money that's kind of the direction I'm going with my Altima bc everyone's Altima's look the same so I wanted a cut bumper proper aero and much more to kinda go with like a time attack bagged build with like 350-400 at the wheels

Absolutely agree with the time attack inspirations.

OEM ++ especially with cars now being equipped with better styled wheels. Stock wheels on lowering suspension maybe spacers with subtle lip kits

@07wrxtr1

Or better yet: Stock wheels that have been widened.... that's what I want for my Z... I don't need/want "attention DUDE BRO!!!" Just a more flush functional look... while yeah I "could" do 20-25mm spacers... I don't want to deal with hub replacements "just" to be "cool dude bro".... I also WASH my car - SOLELY to piss off and annoy people.

​@07wrxtr1 so you want a more functional look but refuse to do so, and keeping your car clean pisses people off? You lost me.

I wanted to run a fancy interior but I accidentally gutted the car and started prepping for a street cage instead lol

sorry to disappoint you in my case Dakota, I'm not sure aggressive/time attack aero is gonna work on a Lexus SC400 🥴 already kinda on the domestic/JDM train there though!

I think 90-2000 big body sedans are going to make a big come back like the ls430 and the q45

Time attack for sure, as I literally just mocked up the Super aggressive Silvia s13 Rocket bunny front lip and canards. And if you don’t think it’s aggressive. Look it up, it’s wild

Wait how was I not subbed to this, that might be because I was on your main channel lol.

Definitely agree with Alex’s point on audio. I went to fuelfest Florida this past summer and at least 1/4 of the show was dudes in suburban and such with like 50 different speakers blasting really shit songs. Really ruined the vibe of the show, especially since there was live music

I find c4 vettes for around 5K and c5 ‘s go for around 12-14K if you’re looking at zo6’s

C4, C5, and C6 Corvettes are going to be the new Mustangs at car meets and are also going to be the stars of the sideshows/street takeovers before of how cheap they are.

So like early 2000’s style of mods is what you guys are saying?

It gonna be what ever you can show off with less to pay for because of inflation I think it's gonna be lights. interior and exterior

We’ve all seen the Play Station wrapped Honda Civic on instagram. I feel like brand wraps are making a comeback for the 2024 car trend. Get ready to see brand wraps like Play Station, Xbox, Apple, Samsung, Chic-fil-A, McDonald’s, Tide, and of course the brands we know everyone loves to wrap their car in, Redbull and Monster Energy.

Love wut the guys are doing with GS300s. Im part of that crowd n i fuckin love this car. VIP interiors with a built engine super clean exterior n wheels go so far on that platform

Nothing better than clean and simple

ngl east coast down to florida and the dominican republic, sound has never left the car scene

a max power style revival would bring joy to the world, corsas with wild body kits, stupidly big subs, twin engines, doors that open in weird ways....it was a beautiful time

I think the body kits of the early 2000s will come back in a clean manner.

If people really only want cheap JDM style on domestic stuff, and REALLY don't care about much more then style, Ford Probe. Looks like a budget S13 hatchback, but is FWD, and it costs like $5k for a GT

"time attack" style was already once a thing. They called them "Hard Parkers". Kinda shows how little people remember from like 10 years ago. All these stance cars with big wings and such are whats left of that "scene". Here's my thoughts - Build what YOU like. Who gives a shit if it's popular or not. If you're doing it for likes/shares/algorithms you'll never enjoy it. But as long as their are channels continuing to try and push their narrative like a political agenda on what THEY think is how the car scene should be, it'll continue to be trash. I've stopped going to monthly cars and coffee gatherings, the weekend night gatherings, and most shows (big and small) because most of these people aren't even car people anymore. They are the insta-generation and they are only trying to get some semi-viral clip or get
