This. The rocket bunny/speedhunters one came so close but doesn't cover the whole wheel well. I'd like front to match.

Pod must retain the plastic clips that un-hinge so that the curtain airbag can still deploy.
If it cannot match the other side's stock pillar pod then create a replacement pillar for the other side so they can at least match.
That's exactly what we manufacture for the EvoX platform. We get OEM pillar then remanufactured by us with gauge pods, repainted to OEM spec and retains airbag deployment:

I just don't think there's demand in this platform, yet. When if is the norm, it'll definitely be something we'll consider. We have extremely high quality standards on these and don't just whip them together so if we were going to do it, it would be for a sizable amount.

I am liking the climate control replacement though

Also up for a nice flat non-sharkfin antenna.
How about combining the two?

If people are willing to pay 400+ for tom's taillights(btw they sell A LOT!), I can see a lot of reasons that they can buy a climate control panel for, as long as it is a good oem-look design and a good price.

It is not hard at all. relocating those three button in the middle of the three knob will make the panel look less cheap and more "functional". (I think they are AC, internal recycle and heat window). Also, better quality knob, better surface, rewiring a fancy LED light and better clock display are possible.

Multiple different kinds of bins/cupholder inserts for the center console area...

I mean its obviously designed to have a universal kind of layout, but nobody has made anything yet.

Exterior: a plug n play G37 style antenna. Too many sharkfin options and not a single FRS/BRZ G37 style. If someone made one that fit our cars perfect and was low profile and option of color matched etc... Win win...

I would vote for the different bin/cupholder inserts and the guage piller pods. Those are the two things ive really been waiting on.
