Default What parts do you want ?

OK tC people, in our effort to keep our site as useful to our customers as possible, I have a question. What parts are you most interested in buying, having the hardest time finding, or wish someone would make. Basically the point I am trying to get at, is to find out what to put on the site, what to put at a sale price, and what to try and get made that isnt out yet. For example we are do preliminary work for a tC grill. I want as much feed back as possible, just keep it realistic. Please no replies that say we should sell all our parts for 1/2 price, or we should make a rocket booster for it. Thanks in advance.

I was driving on the highway and *blam*. It was concluded by two service managers that the break was indeed caused by some sort of road debris, though there were no other cars around us at the time. Who knows. Warranty did not cover it, Scion is being moderately helpful though I still don't have my car back and it's been 5+ weeks now. Apparently there were two of those roof glass panels in the entire US, so I hope nobody else breaks theirs.

Yeah Scion won't pay for it unfortunately, so Allstate did.

Word to anyone who might have a problem in the near future -- plan for unexpected delays due to lack of avaliability of parts. I'm now stuck waiting on another part for the roof liner now that the glass is replaced...

Back on topic guys...

Needs to be created:
- projectors
- nice lip kit that isn't $800 (personally, i like the OEM, but it's ridiculously overpriced)
- decent catback exhaust that doesn't include a grapefruit shooter and does include performance gains (TRD exhaust has a nice look but no performance)

I plan on buying:
- intake (probably K&N) - you have
- short shifter (maybe TWM?)
- sway bars (probably hotchkis)

I'm sure there's other stuff, but those are the major pieces.

I would like to see...
3 piece lip lower hatch spoiler (like the 240sx Origin kit), or something like the stock lip hatch spoiler but more aggressive (but not too aggresive like a wangan spoiler).
upper hatch/glass spoiler (like the 240sx Origin kit)
samco radiator hose with fitting for water temp sender/sensor
non-N1 style cat-back exhausts (like the RSR exmag, Blitz realize, or Tanabe super medallion hyper. I know the Greddy SP2, but I hate that rolled foreskin-looking tip.)
tanabe front strut bar (everyone is out of stock)
c-pillar bar
guage pod (other than A pillar)
radiator cooling plate/panel
