I'm with Derek - there are still a lot of people running carb setups. The car shows I get to are pretty much 95% or more carbed. EFI is still in the minority. Maybe not here or on other boards, but...

I don't think you meant much by your comment, but how do you look at TPI swaps (or modified TPI swaps)?

I found interesting in how you finished your post, again good subject but, one thing i personally beleive in is not having someone dicktate my trend such as Foose i am an artist and car designer aswell and have always been big on pushing my ideas and designs past the normal and sure chips stuff is really unique but like most of on this board we have already adopted clean build designs, but moral is i would not let anyone dictate what's hot ecs because there on a public TV show, example OCC bulding choppers i have seen there bikes in person and they are really clean but buy far not the best designed bikes and builders compared to jim nasi and paul yaffee etc.... now with that said i thing all the replys are really onto something and that was a tuff ? lol but i think the styles now that will be gone are spinners big 28 " wheels on a regal etc as for pro touring i agree it has progress so well over the years because its based on performance and safety, i personally have a pro street that i'm building now and they said that would be the biggest trend to go but it to possess that wow look with the low stance and big wheel tire look and performance good ? later

Hi Ryan, don't get me wrong, what I meant was only to point out the "dating" effect, when you see a car with a TPI swap, you pretty much know the time frame when it was built. Nothing wrong at all, with any of it....

I really like the 2 tone style that is popular, yet at the same time I remember how much I used to hate it in the 90's. I think they are a temporary fad.
