What do you want?
I know many S4 owners would love S5 style after market tails for under $100. I know many people want a moon roof to replace their factory sunroof. I'm looking for project to fund my car. Please post your wish list. This is not a CF pipe dream, I'm looking for ideas.
Who would be interested in round tails in a reverse plus three sequential setup?
Is lexan for a moon roof what you want, or do you want glass?

Not to squash your dreams, but the glass moonroof is an incredibly expensive start-up propisition. I spent hours on the phone with SARATOGA Tops trying to get them to start production again. The molds are lost/missing/destroyed. Saratoga moved from upstate NY to Charlotte NC in the late 80's or early 90's. They did not move any of the old molds, extrusion dies or anything. They will not start a production run for less than 1000 units prepaid!.

if we had glass moonroofs.. then i cant park in the sun anymore cuz then id get hemmroids from the hot azz sun that shines on the car lol the sunroof on our cars were made for a reason...because if it was glass the sun would come right in and nothing could block it.. opposed to the ones we have where it already has the fabric on it and its metal on the top.. if it was glass u couldnt fit one of those sliding covers under it because theres no space 
just my 2 cents

Are you trying to kill sales? 
I get what you mean, but I, and others, sure are fond of the idea of seing out the top with it closed (this only happens on my car when its raining though).

You said it Icemark...if someone could put together a complete na-to-turbo conversion kit and price them decent, those things would sell "mad quick yo!"
Oh, and I'd kill for some S5 taillights for under $100...but they're gonna have to look perfect. I want S5, not some carbon fiber/altezza look ****.

And really really inexpensive!-

There USED TO BE a kit... it was something like $1800. Turbo, manifold, DP, intercooler, and I think it even came with a fuel controller. Nobody bought it... people will talk all day about wanting turbo kits but they won't put up the money. It's the same way for 1st-gen brakes, people talk all day about wanting upgraded brakes but they don't want to spend any money for them.

I'm not even going to concider looking at possible tinkering with the idea of a targa top. The engineering neccessary to maintane proper structural rigidity is well beyond my abilities.

Factory Aero side skirts
I t would great if you could make some of the factory (or modified) plastic sideskirts in CF or in fiberglass(hell I don't care what you make it with as long as it lasts and looks good) I have been looking for a set forever and I can't find a decent set.
CF, lexan, or Fiberglass cold air box?
Radiator panel?
A holder for a single 2 1/16 guage holder and a spot for an Apexi S-AFC or AVC-R. MAybe one like that holder on FCpower.com but with the radio slot on the bottom for better view of the gauges(in black-not stainless)
Those are just a few ideas!
