What items would you like to see the aftermarket manufactures improve upon?

[65 fastback]

It seems that some of the suppliers and manfactures keep in touch with this forum. I though it would be a good place to voice what products we would like to see improved upon, either for stock replacement or restomod upgrade.

Door Sill Covers - I can't stand the flimsy aluminium door sills. I would love to see them in a heavier gauge metal or even in plastic. I'm not looking for them to necessarily be stock looking, just more durable.

first, for edelbrock to fix the air gap performer rpm intake { to change the thermostat you need a hand full of differant angled 7/16" wrenches, two beers, a tub of crisco and a midget!} as for a real dream would be a front end that had less dive into it and less bump steer that would be cool

a really good, and affordable rack, and pinion conversion.

I want some sequential LED tail lights for 67 Shelby lenses Maybe some nice third brake light kits -

I would like to see the warrenty improve on all aftermarket parts. I would like all of them to have long term wear/enviromental/fitment testing done before they are released to the public just like the OEM parts are tested. Yes, I would pay more money for a better quality part that I would only have to replace once. NO MADE IN CHINA PARTS!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd really like to see someone reproduce the 1969/1970 console base.

I would like to see sheetmetal that fits properly, and chrome trim that actually shines and fits and is made out of a decent material like it should be in the first place.

I know this isn't what you were after, but I have to say it anyways...

Emblem prices! I mean, $40ea for a 1"x3" piece of chromed plastic! (talkin' GTA emblem). Half that would be a fair price.

Also, door panels with the remote mirror hole already made/set. (haven't seen it for '67 Mustangs, have to make your own even though it was an available option)

sheet metal, dash panels and trim, emblems, not that it's a big deal, but the darn holes don't line up,

I'd like to see Classic Auto Air make it's "perfect fit" system live up to it's name.

If someone would just start making

69 console base (think that’s already been said)
69 steering wheel pad
Shortly headers for my 390

I would be SOOOOO happy

smooth upper cowl panels - oh yeah and at a reasonable price, the used normal ones are like $500 grrrrrr

Repro Weatherstripping.

I got a kit from autokrafters. Most of it was very nice, but some of it leaves a lot to be desired, like the foam seal that goes along the body that the windows seal against. This should really be high quality rubber. Also the vent window seals.. it's unlikely they will ever keep wind out.
I second the sill plates.

They need to improve the hood nose molding for the 69. the Corvex repos are 1/4 too short and too flimsy. NOS is $175 and up on ebay.
