21 New ProductsFOR 2008
Blackjack! Nothing beats that rush of excitement when you beat the house at a game of 21. We doubled-down and came up golden while walking the floor this year. Check out the 21 new products we found ready for you to put in your truck.
1. Precision Interface Electronics (PIE) makes it easy to connect your iPod to your latemodel factory GM head unit. Even though these new radios have an auxiliary input, you have to manually control your iPod. With this PIE digital interface, you can take over the iPod controls on your factory unit. As an added bonus, it keeps your iPod charged and there is less chance of getting your vehicle broken into due to having an overly elaborate radio.www.pie.net | 
2. Having a full-custom vehicle with a state tag on it sucks, but if you drive it you need one mounted somewhere. The AVS retractable license-plate mount is an easy way to hide your plate for shows. With the flick of a switch you can hide that tag and show off more of your clean vehicle. It is small enough to fit in a tailgate skin or wherever you have room to fit this 1-inch-thick mechanism.www.airbagparts.com | 
3. Bring on some serious bling with Iced Out Emz. These handcrafted replacement emblems are sure to show everyone the pride you take in your ride. These products are not just whimsical show pieces either: They are made from genuine Swarovski crystals.www.icedoutemz.com |
4. Thermal & Visual Camouflage LLC is developing a way to add color-changing paint to your ride. Applying heat-sensitive paints that can be activated by electronic heating components makes it possible. The idea behind it is to have a vehicle come to life with graphics that can also be hidden when turned off. It's like making your vehicles into a mood ring.www.chameleoncar.com | 
5. Now you can add some safety with signals on your mirrors. Muth Mirror Systems has signal mirrors for most late-model vehicles. The company also offers a line of wide-angle signal mirrors that can be added to your pre-existing mirrors. New to the line are these vintage-style signal mirrors. They're a good product for adding to the coolness factor of your high-tech classic vehicles.www.muthco.com | 
6. Custom Autosound is making it possible to use your iPod on classic vehicles without sacrificing the original look. If you don't know already, the company makes replacement OE-style radios with modern capabilities. They have inputs for all new media including iPods, MP3 players, DVDs, satellite radio, and multiple CD changers.www.casmfg.com |
7. Spal displayed its Extreme Performance electric fan. If you've ever swapped out your fan to get more horsepower and have run into high water levels, you know that normal electric fans often break. This fan is designed to take some punishment and keep on going.www.spalusa.com | 
8. For all you turbodiesel truck fans, Samco Sport makes replacement silicone hoses in a variety of colors. Now you can get them with flames to match your flamed paintjobs.www.samcosport.com | 
9. It's now possible to add the bold styling of a '66 Chevy truck to your '88-'98 C/K. If you love the look of those old trucks but love the modern technology in the newer trucks, this kit can get you on your way. On display was the simple front clip, but Retrokits offers kits to transform your entire truck.www.innovationmold.com |
10. Forget pressing switches, these touchsensitive metal switches are the latest thing. They work for all on/off applications and offer endless usage possibilities. Your imagination is the limit to what can be done with these products.www.itwhalcyon.com | | |
