After everyone post there ideas I will be taking them to businesses I know can make it happen lets shoot for 2 or 3 pages and I will get the ball rolling to see what or if I can make some of this happen...
I'm impressed with everyone's ideas to the point in personally investing in developing some of the ideas posted. Maybe I can get a production of 10 to 20 of some of these items and do a group buy to keep cost low. I will post pics of some of the items to get input before a production run.
It's going to take some time but what else do I have to do.....


Of course I will follow the forum rules for venders if or when that time comes. Thanks everyone

* Also .. lift spacers & if needed, extra hardware (eg. longer bolts), that are made to ensure to work & fit with most popular cascam plates. Be it raceseng, rce, or whichever else. Made of several 5m or 1/4" thickness plates that can be stacked to get needed hight.
* different brake cooling back plates like these for most popular BBKs (sprint kit/willwood/RR/stoptech/APR/brembos/stock ..)
* +1 to "Better yet, something that can fit some wheels/tires, jerry can, jack, tools would be awesome!" - i see it in form of something that can be inserted inside space saver wheel. Should have space for small fire extinquisher, tools, first aid kit without taking any boot volume to mount those. When designing this one needs to think of:
1) ease of removal (if/when one needs this wheel in case of flat tire or removal for weight reduction prior trackday)
2) good securing of items inside so that they doesn't rattle on bad roads
* OBD angled connector with on/off switch for multiple wifi modules/OFT and optionally two or more selectable output ports (IIRC they cannot work at same time), so that one can simply switch off OBD devices to not drain battery and so that one doesn't have to damage port with frequent plug in/out.
* Some quietening kit for most common rattle sources in this car. For example for rear seat U latches, some velcros to fix tooling foam pieces in place (but allow removal if needed)
* thin metal sheet or cheap replaceable thin plastic front bumper underside protection (not full engine pan, just something to bolton from below of stock bumper to not scrape it on eg. cerbs/thick snow/ice between wheeltracks). Thought of something like this, but covering whole bumper underside starting from very edge of lip and thinner, maybe even slightly angled up in front of bumper's front lip to ease sliding above/over, not breaking off, not just something at very lowest point of bumper. It:
1) should be cheap (so that easily replaceable if damaged)
2) should fit stock brz / fr-s bumpers
3) no aero. There are lot of frontlips/splitters in market already. Make someone just for protection of stock.
4) thin. To not reduce already low clearance. If sliding off the track into snow pile something thick can increase chance of damaging bumper or scratching ocasions in general. Especially on lowered cars.
5) made of 2-3 pieces to reduce shipping packaging dimensions
6) unpainted to reduce price, and to not worsen looks in cases of scraping
One of variants i also had in mind - maybe instead of thin metal some precut thicker protection film (not for whole bumper, just underside).

Rear bumper diffuser section (that matches OEM black bottom part of the bumper) that eliminates the awkward hole for the reverse lights/rear fog light triangle- for turning tails into turns and turn signals into reverse lights.

twag4: i'd insist that it still may house stock rear lights though. So that said diffuser section may be universal for all countries, including ones where regulations require all stock equipment to be still installed and working, not for limited countries with more relaxed regulations, or 'for offroad use' only.

A proper rear end/ fake diffuser replacement that works with a future super quiet ACE muffler with single exit. Lotus style.

Although I'm too low to fit them

Rear diffuser

A rear diffuser. I know there are tons out there, but those usually go under the stock diffuser and below the exhaust. The one I would be interested into would replace the stock diffuser plastic, only on the center, and would leave enough space for the exhaust to poke out. Either dual or single exit or give the option of where to get the exhaust exit. Something like this photo, but with space for an exhaust on each side.

Me too. Just want the bottom black part to not have the stupid hole that holds the reverse lights and rear fog light. We don't get anything but a stupid red triangle with no fog light in it in the US. It is stupid. I wouldn't mind just to cut out the black part, and have something to go in its place, using the factory painted part.

twag4: in such case - rear diffuser/insert that looks single piece from outside, but has grooves from inside, so that one can easily cut out for mounting stock lights there. = same diffuser that can be used without changes world-wide.
EDIT
Hmm .. thinking about this more .. why not make 3(!) originally closed exhaust cutouts in this same fashion as for lights? So that this difuser can be used for single right, single left, dual and single centered exhaust exits with looking stock-ish with any combination of exhaust exits?
