The last 2009 year is gone. Was one of the better years for creativity, iniciative and over anything try to get new styles.
The hellaflush was growing up very quick last year, as well as, restorations in the “new old classic” like Civic EF and CRX.
Honda world will see more and more restorations in Civic’s to get them completely OEM look, with OEM colours and I think using only quality rims, being BBS and RAYS almost the best choice for next year.
The one who decide swap his Honda will fit more K20 and J-series engine, the support is growing up and every time will be easy find plug and play engine mounts and wirings to swap J-series engines.
Hellaflush will be very very popular in 2010. Not only in US, even being Australia and Europe with HF love. More deep rims, insane camber with colourful rims will be present in HF.
Stickers, roof racks will be the same. Cars will be even more clean than ever with new colours over the OEM colours and stickers in bumpers, bonnets or trunks will increase popularity for next year.
This is my prediction, but I wish to be wrong and get more and more trends for next year. And see who will be more original being VW guys, BMW or Honda who develop new trends.
The new cool car this 2010 is going to be the S2000 and G35. I forget the role for new Hyundai Genesis…We are going to see many of those this year.
Old school is the next…and more old school is coming…Old Toyota and Datsun cars will increase in popularity being Cressida and AE86 even more populars. More people will try to get cheap 240Z and 510…they are almost finish… Hurry up.

1 on 4 doors. I guess I didn’t see it because I’ve been driving one for 2 years now lol
I can def. say that I won’t go back to a coupe for a daily or practical car. I hate having to get out for someone to get in. 4 doors are so much more convinient
4 doors FTW!
i like coupes a lot, but 4-doors WAY MORE… and they fit more women too 😉
also, wagons are on the rise…
I think all of those predictions will be true, but don’t forget about 4-doors! lol
Lots of people who owned & own coupes are building 4-doors for this season or are searching for one.
I didn’t want this to be a bandwagon where newcomers try to be cool and end up making their cars look/run horribly, but i want more people interested in big cars because its only going to be better for all of us (ex: tech issues & parts availability).
G from Serial Nine is going to be rich this year!
I agree with everything. B series swaps are…. whats a B series… Yea!
Honda swaps are K’s and J’s
HellaFlush is gonna get even bigger and I think loose some support with a larger flow of riceboys trying to be HellaFlush
I can def. see the old school restoration coming in. I think there are a few shops in Cali restoring old 70’s Civics already
Stickers are going to be EVERYWHERE!!!
Overall I think 2010 is going to be a classy year…. I think
I agree with you on the old school/nostalgic’s getting more exposure. I really hope it picks up, as seeing the countless old Toyotas, Nissans, etc at the junkyard is quite sad. Not to mention the ones sitting on people yards(rust anyone?) or being driven around town as beaters.
I’ve been trying to pick up an old Z or maybe a Toyota Corona for a while now. I hope it happens this year.
Great post btw
