I'm working on some things right now, but will put my mind back into the realm of possibilities soon. In many cases, it would simply be going vertical with our own, better products than we buy from someone else, and become a distributor of them. I guess that's how products evolve and are born, eh? Cool stuff.

Good luck with this project. From a business standpoint, considering the massive world market for this car, it really could do well if it's aesthetically pleasing. Especially anywhere that isn't America. We don't seem to buy parts anymore. I wouldn't even let this forum's opinion sway you. Yeah, they are a little ricey for a porsche -- being aftermarket in the first place almost makes it not worthy of the badge -- but products and consumerism are both a result of compromises.
Once it's on the market, then it's time to see who's interested. #1 mistake I've seen in forum driven product development is to get people excited and keep them updated with progress and a list of buyers, only to see everyone's visions dashed at the end and bug out. Present to market, and get enthusiastic clicks on your paypal, instead of replies to a thread in anticipation. This comes from a lot of experience watching how it goes. Consult within your company, or in private with designers until it's ready. Get the commerce side well sorted and diversified into online search and marketing streams, then launch.
