Talking What Interior/Exterior Mod Have You Been Waiting For??

Hey guys n gals!

Curious to know if there's anything you've all been waiting for that isn't out yet in the way of interior/exterior mods.

JPM has a pretty full line for the interior and there's endless exterior pieces but is there one (or more) things you've been wanting that just aren't out yet??

Give me some feedback Anddddd go

I would love to see a flat, non shark fin, antenna. Some have tried modifying infinity pieces as in this thread

A plug in and play climate control panel for FR-S.

Most FR-S owners are not happy with the manual climate control panel. I think most of us do not like the panel because it looks cheap, not because it is not as functional as the auto climate control panel on BRZ limited.

So an aftermarket pannel does not have to be the same as the one on BRZ limited, cuz it will be hard and pricey to make a manual climate control to an auto one.

A panel with LED indicate light, LCD, carbon fiber, better look knob, with temp & pressure gauge or even smart phone mount & larger storage place will be a perfect product.

can also separate the three button in the middle of the three knobs.

You can sell A LOT with a good design and a reasonable price.


For example:

Nice LED indicate light around knob( not hard to make the light work cuz oem panel has indicate light so all you need to do is to rewire):
and carbon fiber & better knob.


Simply but better quality knobs:





Better quality knob and clock:

A replacement for the gauge cluster that uses a racepak IQ-3 digital dash but still retains function of all the warning lights. I really hate that manual Speedo.lol

A "gated" shifter cover plate would look sick.

second on the climate control. but just new climate knobs or even high quality covers would be fine with me.

also second on the metal gate for the shifter!!

race style red start/stop button with clear flip cover?
at least with a tactile feel more like the S2000 and less like the Prius. concave not convex.

I second the flat antenna.

As far as interior, maybe something that changes all the display light colors, like the digital display in the tach or the clock. I know there was a guy on here that was doing it, but it was a lot of one off stuff. I'd love to get some orange accents in my interior, but I don't want to go overboard with it. I feel like changing the displays will be subtle enough.

Also, I'd love some other accents. This one is more vague because I can't really think of what to do. Maybe different trim pieces and such?

A plug and play kit that turns the BRZ Headlight LED into DRL.

Interior - still waiting for an armrest that matches the interior well and has a cup holder that you always have access too (e.g. don't need to lift up a top piece to get to). I'd love something similar to this project a member posted up a long time ago - http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...&postcount=264

Lighting - I'd still like to see oem quality flat clear side markers.

Exterior - I'd love to find a way to incorporate a sun roof, even if it was small (e.g. had to fit between the ridge lines of the roof), but I don't know if that will ever happen
