so i got to thinking and got kinda curious.
what are common parts that people need to get a hold of that can be fabricated?
like i know there has already been a discussion about flush mount head lights which im currently working on but what else is everyone looking for .

'glass panels would be nice too. In the future I'd be down for fenders (no light or badge holes) stock style front valence, maybe a hood/header panel/light cover combo too. Even bumpers if you could do dry CF for SA bumpers or just bumper skins for FB bumpers.
How about a nice intake tube adapter to fit a Weber DCOE? Something you could bolt a cold air kit to or use to plumb the outlet side of your intercooler into (I know that not everybody has one of these in their '7, but I will)? It wouldn't be hard to make, and would save me a lot of time. But I'm pretty picky about my car, it would have to look like Billy from ReSpeed made it before I'd buy...

People are really keen around here lately on relocating the alternator to the driver's side of the engine to lower the center of gravity of the car. Also, this would give you a little more belt wrap on the water pump which could reduce slippage.

the current kits out there have it attached to where the a/c compressor goes. There's one at an Australian company for over $200 bucks, and Atkins has just come up with one, but people are waiting to see how it installs. Here's a link about them:

I didn't think about storage bins with hinged lids or the sun visors! Nice call!
How about some cargo carpet raplacements? and interior panel replacements; for example the rear hatch panels where the speakers are and that one that covers the tail lights? I know mine need to be replace because of how brittle they are now...
Maybe new -plastic covers for the dome light? Every one I seem to find the tabs get so brittle they break off.
Or maybe a spiffy CF or billet foot step? (you know the little plate at the bottom of the door frame)
Decorative pieces like the rear grooved tail light panel? A set of rotary emblems to replace the Mazda logos?
I can't seem to think of anything else right now, I'm sure other people can think of those little things that always seem mising or broken on the parts cars that we would like to fix on our own...
