A nice sturdy strong, wiper motor. I know i've been through 3 of them so far. I finally bought a new one at autozone so now i have free replacements for life.

Something along the lines of a 275-40x16 tire, preferably something with a fair ti decent daily driver compound (would fit 16x9.5 wheels)

Another vote for good headlights. I really like that HID setup, but dayum.
A Composite headlight setup would rawk *is that right word? Where its not a sealed glass light like it is now, but one you can screw bulbs into like everything else*

That and better wiper arms that arent retarded n have the reverse hook thats a beast to get wipers for.

There's a thread I started last fall called "who would be interested in a new headlight assembly for the 93-97 Camaro's?". It got enough attention that a company called "FocuzTech" decided to make them. They are currently being made, and should be completed sometime this fall. For more info check the thread out in the appearence section.

There have been only ideas projected to the company so far. Nothing has been posted or shown of what the new ones will look like yet. Since I was the one who started the thread, I have been in close contact with them, and been helping them out with a lot of Q/A. They are probably going to consist of 2 Hella 50mm bulbs inside an enclosed headlamp. There will be several variations you could order of these inlcuding angel eyes, Halo, HID bulb excange, and possibly even an additional LED marker light, not to mention the inside body of the headlight will most likely be able to be a color of your choice (color of your car, clear, chrome ect).

More details, and concept pictures will undoubtingly unfold as the production of the new headlamps unfold.

I would like to see a bolt on kit for a transmission and diff cooler, but realize this is probably not a high demand item.

Next would be a bolt-in 8.8 Ford axle, or better yet an aluminum center GM 8.5" bolt-in axle. Something for the road racers that want to drag race every so often.

Last would be an aero nose for LS1 T/A's that eliminates the "scoops" between the hood and nose, along with the fog light holes and lower "gills" on the outside. Basically something to clean it up cosmetically, while improving aerodynamics.

Granateli already makes this. I believe you may have to have the 97+ style dash, and then you have to send it in to get it upgraded, but I know for a fact there are 200 MPH F-body speedo's out there.

I have also seen the lambo door thing done on an F-body as well. There is no kit for this, but you can have it custom made for your car. (It doesn't look good on an F-body IMO)

So true!

Not many LS1 guys posting in here. Here are a few things I'd like to see:
  • Headlight assembly for an LS1 Camaro that uses modern projector lenses, and does not have those lame halo things in it.
  • A truly complete turbo kit, and STS doesn't count.
  • More aftermarket wheel options! We simply don't have as many choices as the import crowd has. In particular, I'd like to see more forged aluminum.
  • Center stack conversion kit making it easier to do a professional-looking double-DIN stereo or in-dash LCD.

I think the Granatelli setup works for 93-02 TA's and 97+ Camaro's. Also as said they do make lambo door kits that can be put on Fbodies.
