Ill be the first to admit this is from way out in left field, perhaps as far as pluto, but if someone were to make a removable hardtop conversion kit, I would definately be the first to buy one.

Of course it would probally have to have things like a full roll cage, under carriage strengthening, weatherproof top when fastened. Installation would probally be more work than designing and producing the kit.

Hmmm i've yet to see a Diffuser for our cars. I have also yet to see a carbon/FG front lip to attatch to the front lip of any front bumpers.

Also a small wing that sits on the targa top area right above the rear glass would be awesome. - it would serve purely as a styling cue though...non functional really.

Hmmm a stock rear bumper without the small raised portion for all the guys who don't have the molding...such as myself. A GT wing would be nice as well...nothing too crazy but something that is functional would be nice for all the circuit guys.

That'd be cool to see some with double lamps and a c/f front splitter too... especially one that would work with the mariah mode four bumpers...

BTW. A large plenum style carb hat would be nice for us NA guys, as the traditional "turbo" type carb hats kill flow.
I kinda like the grooves. hmm I woouldn't have even thought to want them removed. Interesting. Maybe it would look good

i'd like to see the dual gauge pods (2 5/8 size) in CF that actually fit and not look "universal fit" and tuck deep towards the bottom of the pillar almost resting in the corner of windshield/dash area. that way i can hide the gauges as much as i can under the inspection stickers!! i'd buy this asap!!
i'd do the CF hood and the Cf lip for the FB.
i'm old skool, i like the pop up headlights but the sleepy eye look is nice too, something i would consider heavily in the future.

Front bumper is also made by TWR.

This is the old model.
The newer one has 2 additional holes at the left and the right.

Larger fenders would be great.

Or large fender flares would be good too.

Like these (Moffat style):

hey there everyone, back from the dead. spoke to ryan and someone from the company that owns the forums now and advertising/vendor privelieges are back on track. i'm waiting for an email confirmation but other than that i feel comfortable repping myself here at this point having accomplished all that.

i have assembled a few HID kits and have the ball rolling on some CF hoods. if response is good, i'll bring more to the table. as weather gets warmer there will be alot more i hope to have out for everyone. here is a link to our site and the kits available; http://siteground207.com/~protegeg/p...oducts_id=1341

Has anyone mentioned a custom stereo surround for SAs to allow for proper installation of an in Dash CD player without having to hack up the original one?

Like this:

That's nice, although I probably would rather have the stock cubby under the stereo instead of gauges....

But either way, it would be cool.

+1 With what greasycheeseman said. That would be awsome to have. Also some side window wind deflectors would be great to have as well.
