For instance, has anyone removed the trim rings from the gages or the hvac vents? I was thinking some aluminum rings would be cool, and they could be anodized black or any other color (rice! j/k). I'm definetly eyeing the "dark" IUP as the super bright plastic chrome rings don't suit me perfectly.
I could fab up some sweet shifter ***** with whatever you liked on top out of aluminum... similar to the Mach 1 units.
Any other ideas or requests?
I will have to do production calcs on these, weigh demand, spread word, possibly buy tools, etc. so it would be a while before I start making anything.

I would be interested in the trim rings around the gauges and the vents.
Here's an easy one, how about door lock "*****" that go down as far as the stock ones? It's been well documented on here that NONE of the aftermarket versions will screw down as much as the stock ones.
I'd like a set that are exactly like the stock ones in size, shape and fitment. I'm going to have to buy some new ones as it is anyway since the poor quality UPR ones I have are discolored already.

got have a trim ing around the shift boot, so many things just experiment with a few parts, Im sure you'll have no problems getting rid of them if they are a great fit and high quality as well as fairly priced, it doesnt happen much but its possible

auto shift bezel
SSInserts has a automatic shift boot bezel out now.
$49
Not sure about it though being the first I have seen, so I thought I would wait and see what MGW comes out with.
I ordered the fog light bezels from them, and I didnt really like them, so I sold them to someone in my mustang club.
They look like what I would want though...Hmm........

I want to see replacement rear "gas cap" badges. Also, how about fuel doors like MGW used to make (anyone know why they stopped?). Replacement woofer grills for the doors that actually look good instead of straight 'bling' like the 3-D Carbon ones, and then some matching ones for the rear deck.

The chrome trim around the vents and gauges is kind of annoying, I don't like how it tends to reflect in the windshield and the glare can also obscure the deep gauges. If I could get replacements in a low-gloss grey to match the IUP or even sonic blue to match my car color, that would be hotness.

But yes, door locks that actualy fit would be cool.

Here's another vote for a manual shifter trim ring! I have the Redline leather boot on my shifter, but it sort of sticks out a teeny bit around the edges. A nice simple trim ring would look awesome and would hide the messy edges.

Speaker grills for sure, how about something for the blah, cupholder and maybe something to liven up the radio, not ***** but that area seems a little plain, just a lot of black plastic

A nice set of radiator covers would be nice especially after taking off the hood lift. I have seen this on other mustangs but not on the 05/06 as of yet. I know it's just a matter of time before somebody does it. The Blow by racing has the mirrored acrylic ones out but I doubt that they will be stand up to the test of time as well as polished or unpolished aluminum.
