like the ideas posted, I would love to see some suspension items that would make the geometry better for our cars when lowered.

In to support anything you decide to make brotha! Sick to see someone do this. I'm so down for a sick gated shifter and ss to match!
Your ideas are Genius! The ephatch.com community can come up with so many ideas to help you in your journey creating different types of car OEM Styled parts/accessories. Specially Custom but still OEM. Like that shifter! Amazing, Hell if you need Guinea Pigs to test ;) Count me in for +1 up! for me. I personally will support you 100% on anything you create specially if it is for our "EP's" Thanks for all the amazing dreams that you will make happen as well as thanks for everything you have done for us here! Will keep excellent thoughts for you and your magnificent future work! Enough saying and start creating!
1.) FENDER FLARES!!!
2.) custom rear hatch sub enclosure. fit a nice 8 or 10 in.
3.) D3XX brace
4.) underbody side connectors - to connect XX with V-Brace
5.) in the CTR, there are braces that connect the front strut to the firewall. They go inside the wiper cowl
6.) Armrest or something to give you a cockpit feel to rest your arm. Kinda like the MR2 Mk1 and Mk2.
7.) rear hatch flush insert for us running a gutted EP3. you know that covers the rear trunk and goes to the back seats.
8.) center aux gauge cluster. Something we can attach to the center dash piece, or a 1piece all in one deal. Make room for three gauges
9.) ECU security. so that nobody can steal and take your ECU.
10.) Lower seat rails. make universal to mount Recaros and Status.
11.) Front LCA with DC5R dimensions and hard rubber bushes
12.) Bolt-on no need to buy more crap or modify strut hood props.
13.) Oh shit bar... like the old vettes use to have.
I need more coffee. I'll add more as the day progresses.
Cool man, well im starting prototyping the shifter next week...so well see
Gotcha man! Wicked thanks
Awesome adrian! Thanks man!!
Im actually strongly considering doing fender flares and have been for a while...that just takes a lot of time and effort since id have to build molds....also difficult since they require an ep to prototype on, and no way in hell im doing it on mine (not that I wouldn't want them but it doesn't work on my build)
my ep is white...
- We can talk numbers all you want, but the bullshit stops when the flag drops...
You can source replacement 1/4 panels from body shops and work off those
The problem with that, is when off the car, they flex and twist...so it could drastically skew fitment...shit maybe I just need another ep3 haha
Or I could just bite the bullet and spend a couple hundred bucks and build my own laser scanner and scan the fenders of my ep, and build the flares in the computer since I can do surfaces in there and then I can cnc mill foam to make molds off of

FRONT SPLITTER! would be sick to see a subtle splitter undernieth my USDM bumper. I have been thinking about drawing up plans, but still need to look where to attach and reinforce it to.
Ok here is my wish list:
One piece strut bars - I know a few exist, but they are either really ugly or are expensive/hard to find.
Straight Pipe Axleback - If people are stupid enough to buy the 400 dollar 5Zigen Superlap, you should have no problem selling these.
Instead of a Gated shifter, make a Carbon fiber block off plate. I have a waterjet here at work, I was thinking about making one for myself.
Some sort of cold air feed kit for the OEM intake. Some guy routed his to the turn signal. I think it would be sweet to have it rout from a fog light bezel (similar to the J's intake scoop for the DC2)
A battery tray for smaller sized batteries
this is almost my exact wish list esp # 7 i have taken my rear seats out and put them back in a couple of times now and they just dont fit the same. i just dont like the exposed metal and a one piece rear floor would look a lot nicer. but i love the shift gate and would def support any product you put out man .
Nice Charles... Nice!
Buying another EP/guinea pig FTW!
There may be more demand for EP parts than we may realize. As much as we don't wanna admit/hear it, I think there's a lot of EP owners out there buying shit who aren't on this forum.
Charles, I think you know that I've got some design experience/skill. I haven't really thought about it 'til now, but I'll start putting my mind to coming up with some ideas.
Walking past my car just now. I know I'd LOVE to have a plug to fill the gap the HFP kit has for the front license plate. I know demand might not be the greatest, but production costs may be low enough to make a decent profit and I'm sure almost every HFP Front Lip owner (even in Socal) is like me and doesn't wanna rock a front plate. IDK...
One part (I just/finally noticed lately) that I really want, are a cheaper/decent version of the 04-05 side plastics in the engine bay. (part#'s: 74206-S6D-E00 and 74207-S6D-E00)
OEM parts that are ridiculously expensive are a good target to hit. Like the USDM bumper lights. Those would be a bitch to manufacture, but, as long as they aren't f-ugly (like the eBay ones), those would sell like hotcakes!
I'll start putting some real thought into ideas and PM them to you so I don't, naturally, turn your thread into a novel.
