If you don't want to spend the whole $185,000 for which it was sold at the 2008 [Barrett-Jackson](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corvette-auction) auction, you can now buy [single parts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/furniture-capsule-1) of the 1966 Batmobile Replica. This may seem like a blasphemy to some, but I find the idea of pimping my car with some subtle detail as a Rocket Exhaust Tube Kit quite appaling.

And the best thing about it: all the important gadgets actually work.
That [Batmobile flamethrower](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beast-by-john-dodd) will surely impress your future girlfriend.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Replica Auto Parts:** The trend of selling single replica parts of popular vehicles provides an opportunity for small businesses to fill gaps in the market.
- **Geek-oriented Auto Accessories:** As more auto parts for iconic pop-culture vehicles are made available, a new market for auto accessories could emerge targeting fans of these famous cars.
- **Functional Novelty Auto Parts:** With the availability of functional replica parts for famous vehicles, there could be a trend for novelty auto parts that provide a fun and unique driving experience.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Auto Part Manufacturing:** Auto part manufacturers could potentially specialize in creating niche replica parts for famous vehicles to meet the growing demand from consumers.
- **Pop-culture Merchandise:** For companies that specialize in pop-culture merchandise, branching out into auto accessories could be a lucrative new revenue stream.
- **Garage/custom Auto Shops:** Custom car and auto accessory shops could potentially offer a new line of novelty products that cater to fans of pop-culture vehicles.
