Default Anything You Guys Need Made?

Hey guys

A buddy and I are going to be fiberglassing some parts, hes making some truck parts, I'm going to be doin a bumper for my Z. If our parts come out good enough and we think it feasible, we are going to start a business.

Dont want to talk pricing or anything, I just want to know if there is anything you guys need or would like for these cars.

Im gonna try something to make a reasonable priced dash pad, dont know if it will work but I'm gonna try.

a trans am lt1 hood with the stock grill openings, and have it raised in the back a little bit. Not sure how it would look but seems like a good idea.
