What are the latest trends in Jap styling

[Prince]

We were discussing the Skyline from 2fast 2furious and Herb stated that he thought the viynl and neons spoiled the car. What are the latest trends in Jap styling at the moment?

5 Years ago though, neons and vinyls were the 'in-thing'. Not anymore though.

Smaller rims and subtle styling has become rather big. Carbon fibre is still very Jap, but vinyl is more drift car styling. I personally think that the Euro styling has influenced the style some what. Not only that, big body kits add weight, Jap tuners don't like that. Not to mention body kits have been ruined by chavs in bubble Corsas. My opinion anyway.

well im glad of this because smooth and low can improve the looks of most cars on the road no matter what car your in to (euro is just a name) im pretty sure chip foose and barry white have been doing this on american muscle long before the name euro style became main stream

From the shows I've been to the Jap look is getting to be more of a motorsport look. Vents and spoilers/wings are now added for effect rather than just appearance. I guess people have less money so are concentrating on performance.
