I know the PT crowd isn't doing it so much, but the proliferation of video screens and insane quantities of stereo gear is sure to pass.

Technology will bring smaller, more-powerful audio components that will make the huge amps obsolete. I think folks will settle for one good video screen to control their A/V electronics, EFI programming, and navigation systems. I don't think 7 or more screens will be wanted any more.

Style-wise, form follows function. Maybe less 19s-20s, and more 'standardized' 17s-18s.

I already feel the days of exposed carbon fiber are numbered...

Color-wise, paint scheme-wise, who's to say? These styles change with the wind. The tribal style is already old. Candies and metallics are hot now, and there's a return to metalflake brewing in the 'kustom' market.

Airbag suspensions are still evolving - the early setups already look primitive compared to the latest goodies from Air Ride Tech.

Digital gauges are done.

I think the days of the non-overdrive transmission (both manual and automatic) are numbered as well. The Turbo 400 and Muncie 4-spd had a great run though...
