It would seem to me that people would want the garnish under the tail lights on S13s in carbon fiber. That might be more up Kognition's ally though.

Then again maybe I have no idea :D


Edit:
I think if I had the time, money, and resources I would reproduce all those little trim pieces. It wouldn't matter what material as long as they fit like OEM. I'm tired of going to the junk yard for some little thing and all that I find is dirty, broken things.
I would love to see nice interior things like you see for muscle cars. Billet sill plates for example.
I guess that isn't exactly what your looking for though. How about a nice fastback fit that retains the chuki lights.

Make window visors for cheap.

If you wanna make stuff, and actually sell it, make it cheap. Everyone on this forum is poor for the most part.

Realistically, I'd like to see some interior stuff made. Dash, center console, door panels, etc.

Matter of fact, anything! As long as it fits like OEM stuff.

OEM Silvia rear valences and skirts would be nice too.

I would love to see someone make a tonneau cover for us vert owners!

Something like this:

Or a replica of the OEM convertible boot (because they're getting hard to find and good ones are kinda pricey):

Thanks guys for all you input!, so far looks like oem trim pieces are the hot item,

Hey mudda, what is that convertible made out of? is it hard plastic with a vinyl overlay?

The boot is vinyl iirc. Don't have one for myself so I'm not 100% sure.

The tonneau cover is foam and black vinyl.

In regards to the tonneau cover, that one only fits because the the entire convertible top assembly was removed. It would be nice to to see one made that could accommodate the top underneath it.
