I think a single DIN radio cut-out + triple 2" / 52mm panel under or over that might be doable. The crappy stereo kits I've seen all SUCK! Cheap would be textured ABS plastic, and it's easily covered or painted. Aluminum or any other metal would cost at least 2 to 3 times more.

With the automatic seat belts in place I'd like to see a gauge pod that could fit properly for us s5 folk, i've attempted to modify mine with a heatgun with not so pretty success. Or any other convient, yet not obnoxiously ugly mounting locations for gauges would impress me.
One thing I definatly am not happy with is how old the interior looks, if there was only some way to make it look newer, perhaps brushed aluminum surrounds? I'm not real sure, but if a product could come out that would make the interior look more modern, I'd be willing to pay an small fortune for it. Wether it be a digital gauge cluster replacement, or an entire new gauge surround with modified buttons/dials for lights/so forth.

Like the temp guages. or maybe A/F readings where you could set it to warn on lean or too rich or what not... I understand this would take a lot of work.. but stingy FC drivers worldwide would buy something like this. I know BMW's had something a lot like this, probably still do. (as much as 400-600...800? jesus I don't know, but a whole whole lot)

2. Battery Relocation Kit. (however much it costs to get the pieces and put a fair markup for you in it)
3. Pop-up light replacement kit (150)
4. Stereo Surrounds that don't break.
5. Classy new taillights. (working on some myself) (200-300)
6. CAI that doesnt' require cutting... possible? (a whole lot)
7. Sideview mirrors that keep a stock design (maybe something a little cooler if you feel the need) but have a mount so they can pivot inwards if they get hit like modern cars. (100)
8. a guage cluster that mounts using a bracket and screws that can be moved or arranged then screwed out to brace the cluster in tight places. If you don't understand what I mean, PM me and I'll explain it. but it would solve the idiot light AND above stereo slot cluster requests at the same time. probably logicon as well.

a short shifter that dosent cost as much as a jdm replacement transmission, yeah, that woul be coo...
.$50
.$50
These units are SS and CNC lathe'd, which means production costs are high.
Now for the biggie, spring perches and adjustable collars (no springs) for all four corners to fit eibach 2.5" coils. they would have to be cheaper than ground control, so id say 150 for the set, maybe.
And one more thing, racing seat brackets that actually fit the floorboard of the FC. Oh man, that would be priceless.

Do you mean a totally set of pedals?
Cut the stock pedal bottoms off and put on new ones?
I really like the stock dead pedal. Are you overly tall?

The current console is one of the main things in the car that really help it maintain that 80's look.

I've seen some of the American (i.e. Ford Explorer) lower arm rests, and they are solid and very strong.

There are alot of people wanting to do it but I think that most wont because of fabrication issues.
I will expect it to be around 399,95$

Anyhow, a cuholer would be nice, I think you should try to make one that replaces the trim around the shifter itself instead of the whole stereo surround, it would save on costs, and probably be easy to produce. Just make sure its on the passanger side, and able to hold 32 ounces, lol.
Id also like to see some sort of idiot cluster gauge holder replacement, but one that would hold 3 60mm gauges.
