Stock location intercooler upgrade for track cars that dosnt cost 1k. (read NOT stoplight queens that can aford to have a huge obstruction in front of the radiator and oil cooler) Provide an area that would be good for mounting water injection. (although hoses are usually fine)
1.5" dia Harness bar that does not obstruct seat movement and bolts to good hard points even if it takes SOME creative cutting of interior panels. Make it usable with both S4 and S5 cars.
+1 on a good smooth flowing TID that locates a cone filter where it would be with a stock AFM . Make something modular with an option for with or without AFM. Provide a K&N cone filter option. Provide a cold air box option. A single solutions for a stock or nearly stock location and inlet turbo for both blocking engine heat, smothing pre-turbo flow, and mounting a cone filter well has yet to be realized.

Also, I would love to see a nice dual exhaust that mates up to your 80mm DP and MP. Something bassy, but not droning, and quieter at full throttle. I am running an Open DP and MP because my fitment options are nill atm and I REALLY want a dual exhaust. Lemme know what you think.

Glass or plexiglass sunroofs at a reasonable price. Big money maker there.
Headlights that can fit in the stock FTP lens location so as to delete the pop ups.
a stroger/better designed door handle?
Better looking instrument gauges... maybe white faces or blue faces? with different color light options?

Some good ideas coming outta here guys. Bad news though, the rain deflectors aren't going to happen. I'd have to get soooooooo many of those made to keep costs down, not to mention finding someone reliable to vacuum form plastic for me.

I would like to see a few things. I didnt read every post so, forgive me if I say the same thing. 
Rear window visor. Carbon Fiber/FRP/ or even plastic.
Rear Valance. (for us S4 guys)
Rear Underbody Diffuser. (for S4,S5)
Carbon Fiber/FRP interior door panels.
Carbon Fiber/FRP headlight panels.
S5 side moldings for S4's
Maybe some lightweight aluminum pully's. I want anodized orange ones!
I would love to see the rain deflectors for the doors in carbon fiber, and sunroof panel also in carbon fiber.
And if I think of anything else I'll let you know.
Thanks,
-Rich

Sleek headlights. Either in kit form to keep costs down, or assembled with lights for those less adventurous.
Gauge Pod (?). A pillar gauges are obtrusive and not always easy to glance at. found pictures for this pod, and though with a huge 80mm gauge and 60 mm gauge, I'm sure 3 60mm could fit in a similar spot. It would also be awesome if it could be covered in vinyl to match the dash texture.
Super low seat rails. As a taller person, this is close to my heart. I know Bride makes some, and I think Sparco does too, but neither of these are universal, and I think you guys could make them cheaper
BBK kit modification. I think it's awesome that you guys have a kit for the rear of the FC. Have you thought about changing the rear to the much more accessible RX8 rear rotor? I realize this would mean no one would have to order the FD-RZ rotors from you, but it would sure pull me off the fence for buying the kit if I knew the rotors could be had easily and for cheap. Like wise, the RX8 fronts would make excellent candidates for a front kit. Sell me the adapter to use it with a Wilwood caliper and I'm happy.
I have some intake ideas that work around the stock airbox too, but I would have to better formulate those before suggesting them.
