replica side mirrors(not just covers), dual and triple gauge pods, 03.5 wings, the leadfoot bezel, MSP rear lip replica. Different styles of grills. I dont think anyone is making trunks anymore either. More to come.

Intakes, intercooler pipes, air "diverter" plate for radiator. Flat block off panel/plate to replace sidemount when upgrading to an FMIC.

Steering column guage pods/cups.

Intake with a CF airbox that sits behind driver's headlight and takes air from fender, etc...

Custom s*** would be a good idea too.

INTERCOOLER Pipes?

already in design.. ;-)however uses fender to divert air into "cold air box" which sits in open air where most cold air fuilter sit down threw the "hole"

That is what I ment to imply.

Box should sit where the CAI part of the injen is (not the filter, but the piping for the injen)

I would like a snap on plate to cover the pastic tray on top of the grill. It must slightly overlap the top of the radiator to help force the air to go through the radiator, rather than over it. I would also like it to be easily removable so when working on my engine bay I can still use that plastic tray to hold my hand tools. I know someone here makes an aluminum version.

I would also like a snorkle device that goes from behind my foglight (driver's side) and help direct air to where a CAI filter would sit. It would create a ram air effect (assuming the fog light was removed) forcing the air from that hole up into the filter.

If you make that snorkle thing I wouldn't mind having some mesh grills made to cover the hole my where fog light would have previously been.

this would require cutting of frame... see below for sugested idea alread in works using fender to divert to CAI

You ever need help or want someone to judge something in person I am not that far from you...and let me know when the air box is done!

What about some brake cooling ducts? Would negate the above mentioned airbox if you use the same source of air but intresting none-the-less...

How about an AutoEXE style grille for 01-03 non-MSP/MP3 sedans? Here's a thread with 22+ probable buyers. Currently no options. Nobody has stepped up to fab one in any material.

Then it would also be nice to replicate a full lip kit for 01-03 sedans as well. Use the Mazda front lip, the Mazda side skirts, and the Mazda rear lip. DG does the sides only.
