I'd like to see several items.
First, I'd like to see a "real" carbon fiber interior trim kit for the Scion fr-s. I'm thinking about a Scion complement to Subaru's silvered dash panel and the something for the center stack (especially when one elects the manual AC option). Something with some serious texturing and visual impact to smarten up that interior. Also, how about a radio space snap in panel that's actually a modular holder for the (a) TRD instrument pack, (b) a track day data logger control. And, for that matter, a replacement for the transmission tunnel trim?
Second, I'd like to see a subtle kit for the Subaru. I'd like to see a simple black rear ducktail that blends with the sweep of the trunk panel, a la the simple ducktail for the BMW 1 series. Also, how about a trim kit for the front to provide a unique grille kit to replace that Subaru black bumperette, and something to allow those who don't want to install fog lamps to turn the fender vents into true brake cooling ducts. Come to think of it, there have been lots of comments about those side fend vent ducts... add an interesting treatment for those, too.
If you want a more extensive, though still restrained, treatment, why not offer an alternative to either the Toyota/Scion or Subaru front body molding? I suspect that there would be plenty of takers...
I know this is mild, not wild, but I'm putting in a plea for those who want to unashamedly Europeanize the Toyobaru. I would take my cues from Stuttgart and Turin...
What say? Is there any support for this approach to bodywork accessorization?
