Over the years, many different trends have come and gone in the car accessory field. Trendy fads that were once popular include neon under body kits, 13" wire wheels pushed out, neon washer nozzles, headlight and taillight covers, air shocks and huge rear spoilers, just to name a few. These days, many of the same styles from the past are still popular but with a slightly different interpretation or style.

One such item that has come and gone over the years is smoked headlight and taillight covers. These items were very popular in the mid to late nineties and sales slowed down early in the new millennium. However, many people still like the look of blacked out headlights, just without the many downfalls of lexan covers such as bad fitting parts, issues with the covers coming off due to installation with double-sided tape, and the biggest downfall of these items: dramatically reduced light after dark. These products also came under close scrutiny by local law enforcement officials over the years for their reduction in light that caused many accidents.

While many customizers still like the look of blacked out headlights and taillights, the newest fad is to actually tint the factory or aftermarket headlights, marker lights and taillights. There are companies that sell kits that use a type of film to accomplish this project; however, the problem with these kits is that they are hard to get full coverage, often leaving gaps uncovered around the edges. The most reliable way to tint automotive lenses is to actually spray-tint them with automotive paint. Starting with a black basecoat, the painter reduces the transparency of the paint by adding reducer and then sprays that onto the light. The light is then clear coated and wet sanded to create a very glossy, glass-like finish. In the past many of the custom lighting options on the market were only available to owners of popular models such as the Honda Civic, Mitsubishi Eclipse, Dodge Neon, Ford Focus, etc. By painting the factory lights, this is a custom lighting option available to the owner of any vehicle, not just the most popular models.

The next few items that are popular today in the car accessory field actually had their beginnings in the truck accessory industry and only recently made a crossover. One trend that is making a comeback in the car accessory field is chrome trim products. In the past, many saw cars that had chrome edge trim on every conceivable edge on the car including the door edges, gas cap, trunk lid, rain guards, etc. Rather than using universal stick on chrome trim, many parts today are custom made for specific vehicles and are designed to appear as if they are factory made. These items include chrome door handle covers, mirror covers, pillar post trim, rocker panel molding, headlight and taillight trim and even chrome rain guards and bug shields. Most of these items are easy to install, installing over the top of the factory parts using double sided adhesive. These items are made specific for each vehicle and can greatly enhance the looks of a base model vehicle when used in moderation.

Another item that also had its beginnings in the truck accessory market are custom grilles. Over the years, custom grille packages have been popular among many car enthusiasts. However, these items were often hard to find for cars, and many vehicles that featured these products had items that were custom made by custom auto shops or by their owners.

Today, there are a wide variety of grilles available for cars, trucks and SUVs. These include billet grilles, chrome mesh grilles, honeycomb style speed grilles, chrome factory style grille shells, chrome custom aftermarket grille shells, aluminum mesh, and many different styles of grille overlays including flames, "punch-out", and many other different designs. The current and most popular style is the chrome mesh that resembles the mesh grilles found on Bentleys. Among the companies that offer this style of grille are EFX, Grillecraft, T-Rex, Strut and Precision Grilles. These grilles often are more expensive than the billet style grille, but the finished product on many vehicles is much more impressive than what the billet grille can offer.

Many companies have recognized the appeal of upgrading the grille on the vehicle to consumers and have made tremendous strides in the availability of items in this area. Today, there is a custom grille option for just about any make and model of vehicle, allowing this type of customization on just about any car.

These items are just a few of the newest trends in the car accessory industry. As described earlier, many of these items have been around for years but have found different styles or interpretations in today's marketplace. Hopefully some of the items of the past will never return, but only time will tell.

Are you an automotive trendsetter or a follower? If you are a trendsetter, continue restyling. On the other hand, if you are a follower, please follow me to the restyling zone where automotive dreams are made of. This is not Facebook or Twitter follow me, just follow me, so I can show you how to enhance the internal and external features of your Dodge Charger with the latest aftermarket accessories. Not all of us are gifted equally when it comes to automotive restyling. If you are among the few that don't know how to style your Dodge Charger, follow these simple suggestions.

If you are looking ahead to enhance the look of your Dodge Charger in every new season with fresh collection, how is the idea of adding custom aftermarket grilles? If you look around or drive down the street, you will practically see a whole lot of Chargers or mistake a Dodge Avenger for a Dodge Charger. Reason why? A dodge Charger that is not supped up just look plain and boring. However, you can do something about it; start with replacing the stock grille. One of the first options in styling your Dodge Charger is replace the boring one-style-fits-all factory grille with aftermarket options. There are several grille offerings from top manufacturers such as E&G Classics, T-Rex Billets, Asanti, Giovanna, Carriage Works, Putco, Precision, SES Trims and MVP Styling.

If you are a showoff enthusiast, try enhancing the exterior of your Charger. Among the many options; Body Styling kits, rear trunks spoiler, and rear roof wing. If you like to bling bling, add a dash of chrome trims to the exterior with chrome door handle covers, fender trim moldings, chrome taillight bezel, fender or rocker vents, rocker panel moldings and chrome body side moldings. Projector headlights, high intensity definition (HID), LED taillights are not a bad idea in any one way. For you to really exhibit a different persona for your Dodge Charger, upgrading of your wheels is a must. 20 inch, 22 inch and 24 inch wheels will do the trick. You might not believe me, but adding a set of square fender port holes will cap the finishing touch to the exterior of your ride.

Adding body kits and chrome trims is just a phase of your Dodge Charge enhancement. You are welcome to go extreme. A custom paint job that includes flames, two tone paint or even candy paint is a possibility. How about a Lambo vertical kit or even a suicide door? Enhancing the exterior of your Charger has no boundary or limit. If you have unlimited funds or simply have a serious passion for your ride, you may also make some aggressive styling that requires you replacing the front end with a Chrysler 300 front. It is possible and do-able. Mind you, these are suggestions; don't over do it, as too many cooks spoil the broil.

Are you done enhancing your Charger yet? Of course not; it is not over until the fat lady sings. Since you do not know which of the fat lady is going to sing, I suggest you start decorating the interior of your Charger right now. The interior is definitely the home away from home. And as such, add accessories that encompass style, security, convenience, comfort and protection in any order. For comfort, I recommend seat covers, floor mats, dash covers, cargo liners, sunshades and legal window tint. Also, try upgrading the electronics of your Charger. There are lots of choices; back up sensor alarm or back up alarm is not a bad idea. You are also welcome to add dash accents, upgrade the audio, video, speakers, GPS navigation system, or simple plug-ins for your iPod, cellular phone chargers or what have you.

The availability of the interior and exterior auto accessories in different styling option would help you to add freshness to your ride. Each of them is made up of different kinds of style to reflect different features. However, all of them are designed to give you the ultimate comfort and style that you might seek in enhancing your Dodge Charger. The key to enhancing the interior and exterior of your Charger is coordination. A coordinated styling will eliminate the frustrating decision of attempting to install all the above accessories at one time or any time when your appearance needs to make a statement
