Tiny RX-8 accessories?

I was looking at my 1/43 RX-8 today in the office and wishing it had the stuff I had added to my real 8 - strakes, rotary accents, etc. Then it hit me - is it possible that there might be a market for teensy accessories? I'm thinking 1/18, 1/43, and 1/64 strakes, rotary accents, body kits and etc. (I guess you'd have to supply tweezers and a magnifying glass for those 1/64 strakes.) Maybe tiny carbon-fiber dash kits for the 1/18 cars.

Yeah, I was pretty bored today.

Actually, I am waiting for the time and the weather to clear up enough to get out to my garage and clear out a bunch of stuff so I can make some tiny parts for my 1/18 RX-8, such as a spoiler and maybe a THIRD BRAKE LIGHT LOGO MOD! LOL

Does anyone have the 1/18 Auto Art RX-8 and have figured out how to get the damn body off? I can get the front end to lift a bit but I cannot budge the back end at all. Yes, I found the two screws under the license plates.

Not bored, just creatively stagnated. How about a tiny THIRD BRAKE LIGHT LOGO?

I was thinking the same thing- I have a Black 1/18 autoart on the way and I'd definitely be in the market for 1/18 appearance package, spoiler, strakes and clear corners. How cool would that be...
