Parts feeler (what would you love to see)

if you could mass produce quality premade satoshis that should be a big enough seller to get the ball rolling for the rest of the ideas (i would buy one).

fender flares that stick out an extra 1-2" but still maintain the OEM look would probably be another big seller. they would help compensate for the extra coverage and clearance needed for wider/taller tire setups.

another big seller would probably be an air inlet for the Sport hood scoop that directs fresh air to the intake. that would take a good bit of engineering to actually make it well built and functional though.

 

Wow! For the Interior, I wish someone made some type of module that allowed for mounting of my iPhone, GPS and Ultra Guage, but honestly don't know how it could be done. Possibly something that went over the rear view mirror.



For the exterior, I wish someone made something for when you remove the stock bumpers that was like a valence or spoiler to cover the sheetmetal flanges and finish it off. If it were paintable that'd be great. I also like the idea of flares that enabled better clearance and coverage for wider/taller wheels.

Paintable for sure. If they were only black and not paintable Id never get em. Color matched for an upcharge would be even better. I hate dealing with painters. I am actually buying a color matched grill instead of painting mine for that reason.

I just want an OEM looking fender flare that has less wasted space under the metal of the fender and is 1-2" wider than stock. So tighter around the metal fender for a slightyl larger opening and at least 1" more coverage.

I really dont understand why the factory flare wastes about an inch or so all the way around. Guys with the All Pro long travel kit rip their flares off because of this.

 

Yea, I've come so close to hitting my flares up front that I just took them off, and I think some cutoff Fender Flares would be a cheaper alternative to Fiberglass Fenders, which for guys like me who have a plate style bumper and big glass fenders like Glassworks don't line up with!

 

I will look into a "panel" of sorts (consumer could drill holes as needed) that could cover the front end for you tube bumper guys.

Anything else?

 

Double cab ground effects along the lines of say, molded running boards and perhaps something for the front bumper like along the lines of the x runner for us mall crawler/street truck guys.

 

I would love to see someone make some aftermarket fenders that have rise to fit 35" tires, but as little flare as possible for non-LT application. I love the look of all the ones available, as long as the truck has LT suspension. Maybe a 1-2" flare with a 3" rise or something like that, I think would be killer and would be interested in a set.

 

The All-Pro ones are 2.5" Flare with 3" Rise and so with the proper offset and maybe a feel spacer they would look fine, I don't think there would be a big enough market for a new Fiberglass Fender that is 1" Flare and 3" Rise, be better off to cut your current fenders and get a wider fender flare.

 

I don't want to run spacers or cut up my stockers. The All-Pro ones look great... with long travel. Just voicing my opinion, I think wide fenders with stock length control arms looks ridiculous.

 

Yea that's true, there is someone in town here with a Fiberglass fenders and bedsides with an otherwise stock Tacoma which does look dumb, and hey maybe he could make both!

 

Currently we are looking into a paintable fender flare that would make use of the gap between the sheet metal and OEM plastic flares. Also looking into a snorkel, and some smaller interior pieces to mount popular GPS and ipod units. Anything else you guys would like to see don't be afraid to ask. We are looking into outsourcing our moulding and production to keep prices as low as possible while still maintaining a quality product.

 

I like the fender Flare Idea, how much more clearance will you potentially gain with your fenders vs the stock setup?

 

A radio bezal to fit A Scion radio would be nice, the Scion radio is a little bigger than a double din so the is no dash kit that will fit.

 

Fenders, Ultra-Gauge Mount, and Satoshi insert...
