I can think of a million things I'd like to see reproduced, but since I'm contemplating switching to electric fans, it would nice to have an actual kit specifically made for a G-Body that just simply bolts up directly to the radiator using the screws/holes the factory shroud used. No need to fab anything up or use unsightly zip-ties. The fan/fans would also have a perfect fit on the radiator too eliminating that hokey 'big gap' look when you try adapting electric fans from another car. All the electronics would be included and designed for easy installation.

Front and rear fascias for Cutlass would be nice.

A steel Cutlass hood with the 'Darth Vader' cowl induction scoop ( not a generic 'Chevy style' scoop ). Man, I would buy that in a heartbeat! Way better looking ( and functional most likely ) than any of those W30 ram air scoops which just don't look right on a G-Body Cutlass. The DV hood looks correct on a G-Body Olds because it was actually designed for it.

Cutlass 120 MPH speedos for those who don't want to pay $200 for an original ( if you can actually find one ).

4 speed dual gate shifter. Lightning rods look kick-*ss, but the dual gate is simpler and IMO works better for racing.

This may sound silly, but how about some performance PROM chips for those running on the CCC system? I told you it may sound silly!

Now that is what I'm talking about. Ive been driving my car to and from work the past 5 days day ($30 in gas a day) and Ive been thinking of an overdrive as cruising in 3rd is over 2500rpm at 55mph. If they were to make one I would totally buy one. It would also need the matching top plate to fit the factory consoles. But they probably wouldn't be able to put the Hurst logo on the handle because of copyright issues......Like my factory dual gate now :D

As DoubleV said, it would be nice to have a complete electric fan upgrade kit that is designed specifically for the G body application. I've seen a number of good installations that have been custom built, but I'd like to have something that is designed as a "plug and play" kit.

Goin out on a limb, as I havent read other posts, but how about a full g body floor from the firewall to the raised trunk floor. Side to side and front to back just as the factory, no splices on the rear underseat brace.

Also I would say a repro dash for the monte carlo thats fits and looks OEM, I dont like the ones they have out with the removable top section.
