+1

Though it is nice to dream with "what if".

With that said, I'd also like to see a replica of the OEM duckbill spoiler. I'd like to put one on my vert, but the OEM one is a rubber composite that doesn't seem conducive to painting. I'd love to have one body colored.

I dont think hes offering to make anything i think he was just curious to see whats on his fellow rx owners minds, a lot of the stuff there asking for i have seen before and could prolly be found with a little bit of google work

aftermarket roll pan dash. Speaker box made to fit in a storage bin under the fiberglass and carpet that actually sounds good and is invisible until you open the bin.

vert trunk lid is light, why bother?

you cant honestly say that CF weave on the trunk lid would look good?

I would say a pod that holds gauges around the orginal instrument cluster, I know someone made one but
damm if I cant find it anymore.
Sort of like the mickey mouse ear design

It's not something I'd be into, but if they had a CF hood and CF trunk lid combined with the black top or top boot...that would create a 2-tone appearance

Lower and Upper intake manifolds to be replaced by a single inline unit for better flow.

Electric 6PI kit (VDI too if you're an S5 guy).

Shrouds for the Dual Head Light Kit.

CF/FG A Pillars (with gages too--not just gauge pods, but the entire A-pillar)

I just dont like CF weave, in the sunlight I would take bodycolor over weave anyday.

at night CF looks like unfinished body parts, it looks like e-coating on new parts.
I like smaller parts in CF versus black though.

i dont' own an fc but cleaner and more simple carbon fiber parts fenders, doors, hood, front bumper, rear hatch, sun roof, wing, front lips, head light covers, cleaner flush head light kits, solex key locks, better door handles, after market head light switch, that is not so delicate to the touch, h.i.d head light kits plug and play and interior peices that would be nice...

I really only say it, though, is because you have a hard time finding two of them in a really good condition, and I need 2

stronger interior replacements? like OEM-looking radio surround, air vents, anything that's easily
breakable, interior-wise...
