Most wanted products
I'm stealing Bee Jay's thread idea and changing it to ask...What products do you wish were available for our Corvettes?. I'll start with my list. Make your list as long as you want.
1. Modern styled wheels with proper backspacing so we don't have to use wheel spacers.
2. Rear speaker enclosures that fit in the corners of the luggage area but don't take up all the space in the compartment.
3. More blended looking fender flares, not the old school '60's and '70's flares.
4. A functional center console rather than the simple arm rest.
I'll add more as I think of them.

How about a REAL glove box to hold items you need quickly.
Some manufacturere to make a header and true dual exhaust system that is a perfect fit.
I agree with your wish list for great looking modern wheels that fit without spacers.

I don't think there is anything uglier than "clearencing" a brand new set of coated headers because the steering box is in the way. Did we move it after the car was manufactured? 
Don't you just love those unique to '68 parts.

1. A glass rear window for convertibles like some of the modern cars out there
2. Additional power outlets (gps, radar detector, ipod, etc.)
3. 15"/16" performance tires (sidewall width notwithstanding). Non-drag radial taller/wider rear tires.
4. Modern looking rims in 15" sizes (not 17", 18" and 19").
5. 15 x 10 rims with 6" backspacing (most are 5.5 or 6.5)
6. Functional center consoles AND cupholders. I don't need the cupholder on the drag strip, but it would come in handy when I drive my car to work, etc.
7. 17" tires/drag radials with more sidewall (28" to 30" tall)
