If you're into the rods and mods scene, Mike Smith's Automotive Collision Center, the premier auto body shop in Dothan, AL, has some predictions for detailing trends you might see during 2017. These guys are known throughout the region for their off-the-chart skills and the state-of-the-art technologies they bring to bear at their auto body shop.

They offer custom painting and body detailing for those looking to beef up the looks of their ride and provide immaculate restoration and dent repair to those who prefer a less ostentatious vehicle. Check out their predictions for 2017 detailing trends:

• Souped-Up Electrics: Expect to see cosmetic enhancements for electric vehicles this year. To this point, electrics and hybrids have rarely been the favored canvas of creative body shop enthusiasts, but Mike Smith's Automotive Collision Center expects you to see more body mods on electric vehicles over the next year. Look for spoilers on the Nissan Leaf, hood scoops on the Kia Soul EV, and hydraulics on the stodgy Prius.
• More Fast and Furious Mods: The Fast and Furious movie series has grossed over $1.5 billion, with the eighth entry smashing box office records and rekindling interest in sporty spoilers, neon underglows, and vinyl graphics. Expect to see a resurgence of the early 2000s mod kits as fans revisit earlier entries in the series and spend more and more time at the auto body shop.
• Exterior Speakers: Exterior speakers are the natural next step for auto mod enthusiasts with a penchant for a thumping bass and crispy mid-range. Not only that, but you should expect those modified electric vehicles discussed above to start pumping "engine" sounds through exterior speakers to let motorists and pedestrians know they're coming.
