There is just a ton of cool stuff going on in the world. We do our best to bring you the latest happenings in the diesel community. Many of the coolest trends are being “leaked” on the sites of some of your favorite manufacturers. With that in mind, let’s talk about one of the coolest trends going around, which is called Hydrographics or Hydro dipping. Hydrographics is a process of applying a printed film to a part with the use of water. There are graphics manufacturers out there producing films in a wide variety of styles and designs. These graphics are then applied to a part through a multi-step process. When all is said and done, the graphic that adheres to the part, is pretty durable and will last for a long time. Best part of it all, this process gives the part a very custom look without the really high price tag of custom paint.
While this process isn’t new, it is really starting to gain popularity and many of the part manufacturers are starting to experiment with this process. Recently we came across a Facebook post from BD Diesel.
“We just got this custom camo Dodge 6.7L Intake Horn. If we get more than 50 likes on this photo we will make the camo intake horns available for sale. Tell us what you think!”
This is a great example of testing the waters “per say” and a really good reason to “like” your favorite manufacturers Facebook, like BD Diesel Performance’s. This way you can get the inside scope on what is possibly coming out.
BD Diesel Performance’s Facebook response was so good, they are actually in a product run now to get the 6.7 intake horns completed. In a response to a question, they mentioned that if they do this, they will also, be offering it in a 5.9 horn. So, keep your eyes posted as these are sure to be snatched up quickly from the moment they are available.
So, what could possibly be next you ask? Well, according to BD Diesel Performance’s Facebook post, “We are actually looking at our control arms kit and steering box stabilizer to be wrapped in camo as a special edition one.”
We will keep you posted of the latest happenings as we find them.
