Default ideas for new parts for production?

Hey guys so i have a local shop by me that may be iterseted in producing some parts for our tc's, so i told them they can test on my car since its pretty much a garage queen right now...

so they told me to ask around for what people may be looking for that is either not being currently produced, or that is way over priced and they may be able to beat in cost...

just post up ur ideas and ill relay the message and see what they can do.

the shop specializes in the turbo lotus, which runs a toyota motor, but they do anything...

thanks guys!

the only prob with that is theres already a ton of turbo kits on the market for us, i think there looking for some parts that are harder to find or are just way over priced, i dont think another turbo could would sell very well considering all the r&d it would take to design and considering there is a ton of great kits available already...

Under body bracing and a harness bar where you dont have to modify the b pillars.

i definitely agree with the underbody bracing, i've been hoping for that for a while, intake manifold for n/a apps, and i definitely agree with silverstreak on an affordable BBK...the ones out there are a little over priced imo, i wanna see a widebody kit that doesn't make me puke (no offense to the ones with widebody kits...just don't like em), a headlight that resembles more of a retro fitted headlight instead of the nasty ones that are on ebay with failing LED's, a nice darker and simpler tail light set, a nice catback exhaust with a simple dual tip-slightly larger than stock-with the titanium finish and with minimum 2.5"piping, another 4-2-1 header since there is only one out there for us, a rear strut bar that does not require modifying the interior...oh yeah...
and a NOS button

please don't ask for any more CF stuff...there's a lot out there and what isn't mass produced is most likely cheaper if you get one made anyway

lol, ok so i guess i should point out that they dont do cf pieces, or body panels... at least i dont think they do lol, it would mostly be engine mods and possibly suspension pieces like braces and such... sorry all of my cf ***** buddies out there lol...
