I like a lot of the ideas so far. Keep em coming!
A custom designed intake scopp would be cool. I could have it shaped to fit in a certain portion of the grill and make it bolt up to any existing holes.
A spacer between the intake plenum and blower case might be way too simple. It would take me all of an hour if it was a plain one. How about a nitrous plate that can fit between the blower and intake, so fuel and no2 aren't going through the rotors and affecting the coating?
When you say billet side steps, do you mean like door sills, or the flareside bed steps?
A custom floor console would have to allow the seat to slide back and forth. Keeping with the idea of interior parts, maybe a switch panel or gauge pod for the expy concoles, or to fit in the surround around the radio? Anything along those lines would be badass. Maybe a dash-top gauge pod like those mustang ones?
Sorry to dissapoint you guys, but I dont think I can realistically do a hood.
Aanother idea I'm toying with is designing a braket to mount the plasma booster on, or one where you could mount nitrous solenoids, anything like that, that would use the existing holes. It'll be machined aluminum of course.
A no-drill front plat mount could be cool too.
Keep the ideas coming, and let me know what you like from this list so far!

How about a rack that fits in the bed to carry slicks/skinnies?
A sub box would be useful for me, but I really want to do something that could benefit a lot of people.
Some sort of braket or other custom part that would make fitting a common item to a lightning a completely bolt-on deal, or make it much simpler, would be cool.

Rob_02Lightning, thanks for the tip, but I already planned on mounting a pair of driving light behind the upper grill.
Thanks again for the inputs!

I know the picture is bad Struck By and there's no way to tell which grill that was a picture of (sorry), but just for the record, thats the lower grill I had the inlet scoop in. That second picture is laying on your back under it looking up at the bottom of the radiator.
it truly fits fine and BLOCKS NOTHING.
Now I have a differant set up that use 4" in a differant location.
Changing all that next weekend, hoping to do it in 316 Stainless.

If you will design a set of brake ducts I will build them for you. I own a prescision sheet metal shop (WWW.PICOFAB.COM) and can punch, bend and weld any kind of sheet metal. I want to do this because I think brake ducts would help our rotors from cracking so bad. You may need to get with Stan (Ruslow) or someone else that knows where the air needs to be directed.
