I'd like to see a high quality carbon fiber roof panel. I had one made, but it turned out so badly that I only use it to keep dust/dirt out of my car when it's in storage.

My only concern with the bolt on option is that I don't want my car to look like a "C5 trying to be a C6". If the new rear bumper has C5 detailing (or something closer to the C5R) I'd be all for it!

Not liking the ZR1 side skirts you are showing. At least where they meet with the rear fender. That straight line, right angle just doesn't work. I really want a kit that completes the entire bottom edges of the car. Front splitter or nose spoiler that flows into the side skirts. Then maybe into a subtle diffuser, not a RICER diffuser!!!
Also, an affordable Carvaggio style rear spoiler. All in carbon of coarse.

Like the idea of the roof panel or halo in carbon as well to help tie in the upper part of the car with the carbon splitter and side skirts.

I've always liked the molded in rear brake ducts as well.

Carbon fiber hood, something like the MCM hoods of years past. They had great design and fitment.

I had one of the original MCM hoods and it was a top quality product. Something like that again and you'd sell a bunch of them.

Also, a rear spoiler, even like the ZR1 style that does not have to be bolted on - could attach with double sided tape.

HUD bezel since they all crack. Preferably an overlay that sits onto the dash flush so it covers the cracked one and doesn't require the dash to be pulled to installed.
