i'm with the A4 shifter guys
how about some weatherstriping with an improved design
an LED chmsl
more wheel options for the pre 88 cars that don't require adapters
a decent and fairly priced exhaust system for the earliest C4s

What about some sort of bi-mode muffler for the C4's ?? Something like the mufflers on the C6 Z06 ?? First one to copy those will make some bucks. A cold air intake that is functional that gets a ram air effect from under the front bumper not through the license plate opening. Just my .02 but the mufflers would be the hot ticket I think.

Also, let me add my two cents to the rub trim at the 84-90 belt line.

This is a great idea for MAM to add a few exciting new products. Before you go forward, make sure your bosses understand that MAM needs to perfect the existing product offerings as well.
For Example: I bought some stuff from MAM when I first bought my 94 Coupe. The largest purchase I made from you was my weather stripping. After installing it I frankly felt taken advantaged of. I was a new vette guy at the time. I spent the remainder of my budget with other vendors because of this. I spend a ton of money on my Vette and my Porsche every year and I will be spending more on them this spring. I have opened up your catalog several times but the Weatherstripping thing makes me look and order elsewhere. BTW, I need to order new seat covers soon... so...
The particulars,"84-96 Seal, Top Panel Rear" item # 606138 split while I was installing. I had to order another piece to replace it and return the split piece and pray for a refund. (How the heck am I supposed to pull off the first piece I ordered from you and return it to you for a refund!!?? without it looking like I damaged it?) The brand you sell in your kit basically sucks. I think it is "Metro" Super soft??I have advise many many people on the forum against buying it not to hurt your business but to protect my Corvette Forum Brothers!
A quick release mechanism for the targa top would be awesome!!!

Okay, so maybe I skimmed over all the replies, so if this is a repeat.....SO sorry.
Hasn't everyone been dying for a quicker way to attach the d@mn hard tops?
And the idea for cheaper LED tail lights is definitely a brilliant idea.

Team up with someone to offer replacement underhood wire harnesses
for the earlier C4 cars. Utilize the superior temperature qualities of the
wire sold as SXL, GXL and TXL grades.

Get Michelin to start making 255/50ZR16's again.
Make a smooth dash pad for 84-89's some of us don't even have speakers there.
A ZR1 widebody kit would be awesome, if the halo and rear glass is the same.

I will go one better on the radiator hoses.How about a complete Samco hose kit for C4s.There 8 piece kits available for the Impala/Caprice crowd but there is only a 4 piece set for LT1s.Of course you would have to become a vendor with them and mabey get them to produce it but as was stated some of the hoses are no longer available.
And without a doubt the front floor speaker carpet covers for the Bose Gold system in all the various colors as well as the rear and the name plates that go on them.And not charge us an arm and a leg and our first born for it(OK you can HAVE my firstborn but not my cash )
