i would like a radiator cover, and a front piece that slides in before the radiator in between the headlights as all one piece in polished or chromed.. that would be hot.

BTW your emblems look killer. can you make a dash one for 25th anniversary that says RS/SS?

Just a question.

I think that for us gear bangers out here, it would be cool to have a billet shift pattern plate that could be installed over the top of the factory one. It would be easy to have 5spd, and 6spd versions. I have also though that a shifter trim ring made of billet would be cool, something you would find in an exotic car... you know!

Those look amazing! The billet door sills would be a hit as well as radiator shroud.

Are you looking for stuff to do to your car or stuff the thirdgen world might want/need?

A billet pontiac arrowhead emblem for the front nose might be sweet or if you took "custom" emblem requests.

If you make replacement metal door sills that would deffinately offset your car from the crowd.

nice keychain.. looks heavy. the door sills would look great.

a chrome rad shroud would look good imo, providing you've got other shiny things under the hood.

Although probably not an easy part to do something with - but IMO one of the biggest eye sores under the hood of our cars is that cover/netting piece on top of the cowl by the windshield wipers. That thing is nasty!

Maybe something could be done to the inside door-handle trim?

I'd also like beezle trim rings like those already available for the birds by someone on here.

I have some other ideas too, but I shalt keep them to myself for the time beeing

Good ideas ken. The cowl piece would be easy. Anything is easy with a CnC the most time consuming part is doing the cad work on the PC. Essentually you have to design in the PC just like its a real part in your hand. Ive got a total of about 8hrs in the bages. with making little changes so they run faster

Mmm, a complete billet handle and trim piece would be awesome. and dash rings. Those ring would be simple.

why dont you PM me with your other ideas if your interested in em for "YOUR" car. or if you got time feel free to give me a call. PH# is on my site.

Like TPI383 said, this isn't a thread to buy the stuff or request stuff for your car. PM him if you want to do that kind of stuff.
