Cupholder? Buy a Camry. You're driving a sports car.

I'd love to see a Miata rear suspension bolt on conversion kit.

Theft-proof Door Handle Replacements/ doors. Or a Cheap kit to do that... I'm Sure Everyone who has had their car broken into or stolen would agree. (luckily when they broke in to mine, it had no engine in it... suckers!)

Oh. how about some decent black interrior pieces too?

I like to drink coffee while driving my sportscar, so a cupholder would be nice.

I also want a big, rear oil shooter kit for tailgaters. Or maybe a thing to drop little spikey ***** on the road.

Of course!! But that might only make them not see and pull over to clean thier windshield.

I was thinking more along the lines of a huge oil gun that shoots on the road and causes your enemy to slip and crash into something.

Fatboy is probably right, most of these are pipe dreams until the cars start to go back up in value (they are hitting the magic 20 year mark), or unless the parts can be made profitable in small quantities with little development costs, or they are just new conversions of existing products (e.g. the Miata rear-end in the FB).

Here are some things I want:
- a four rotor monster engine (with Renesis housings and light rotors) to put in my Dodge Dakota 4x4 (one day I WILL do this)
- a real aluminum trim kit for the center console in the GSL-SE (silver colored pastic is just pathetic looking) [very doable and low cost in small runs]
- a real wood veneer trim kit for the center console
- leather/suede center replacemten seat skins

FWIW, one of my cars has the Fujita security locks on them...I know nothing about it, except that is works.

looks like the headlights I made in photoshop to demo a 'headlight kit' concept were then pasted onto another car.

Sealed Beam Projector 7"round

Why does everyone hate the lights on the first gen. I know they aren't the brightest, but they spell old skool import style. I love em. I love the way all the lights look.
Anyway, I would suggest:

-Cheaper widebody kits.
-porting companies like racing beat that will port used housings.
-Do it yourself instructions for converting a carb to work with a rotary.
-Turbo kit for a carbed 12a or 13b.

BTW, a catback exhaust is almost useless. It's cheaper to just get a higher flowing muffler.

Those projector headlights are going on my christmas list.

Nice try. That is exactly what I want for my car though. I wish I had time to fab a kit.
