sounds good guys; well headlights were suggested long ago; any interest in new taillights maybe?

Also an idea; not exactly the guages, but how about the portion of the dash that surrounds the guages, in CF?

(since it pops out ever so easily)

Carbon Fiber bumper canards, and cf splitters

example of how I imagine the perfect bumper canards to look, with how they sweep all the way across the bottom of the "fog light holes"

in reference to the above picture; i was just looking at Work Meisters and SSR SP1's....god i want em...

anywho, I like the idea of the candards forming perfectly along the bottom of the foglight area; great thinking.

I've been trying to think of a new grill design; the open grill is often appealing on most cars, but for the xD (im speaking primarily about the upper grill) I just dont think it would stick out enough (which could be a good thing, depending on what you're going for)

oh well; taking notice of that tow hook placement, where would everyone like to see the front tow hook poke out of?

ever watch knights tale? I always say to put a fist on the end of the tow hook to "protect" it....


we need a bodykit that exaggerates the stock body lines. kinda how Veilside did the Z33. kinda how that pic looks. I mentioned taillights. look here for ideas...
for a Celica . why didn't someone else think of this for our cars?


for the Yaris

back to the foglights ... it would make more sense and be more universal to have fogs that mount in the lower center grill as it will fit every OEM car on the road. The little devient has a body kit on his car, do they really want to make parts for another companies body kit? seems like more stock cars would buy fog lights then cars with bodykits wanting oem fogs..... just my thoughts.

also, some true retrofitted projector headlights for under a grand.

racing seat brackets

agreed that they should be different from the rest (i really...don't like the designs on any of the ones that are out)

Luci you make a good point.

and on a side note, when you said brackets; they're currently working on a CF racing seat that is AMAZINGLY comfortable and very light, so light, that the seat brackets are heavier than the chairs are pretty cool stuff.

I agree, those stock openings are begging for fog lights. That's the only place I would put fogs on my xD.
