Definitely on the tit gray - i think it would look awesome and complement the strakes, etc...

An additional (preferably grim looking red) button that activates two afterburners.

I just want twin turbo, too much to ask?
The dual afterburners would work as well.

On a serious note... (thought afterburners would be fun)... I would really like the stereo to come with HiFi jacks so that I can plug my MP3 player right into it!

Climate control, passenger side seat electric controls, Temp gage for the inside and outside, better sound deadening package other than the carpet that is outside in the rear wheel wells, something to add to the rotary to get more zoom.

My '03 Jetta had auto up and down windows for both driver and passenger. I too wish Mazda had this...

Kids hit the switch when their head's out the window. Not good for brain circulation. Same reason everyone's going to switches you pull up to close the window; you can't raise the window just because you kneeled on the switch.

I got used to our van's auto on/off lights, but I can't turn them off at security gates and have to pull a fuse when we drive through the local Christmas lights show!

I want a built-in bullhorn and the stereo-in jack.

I'd like a FI kit that doesn't void the factory warranty. Oh, and a few nits: better door hold-opens, and a way to defeat the lights-on indicator that messes up my beautiful red dash lighting, a real oil pressure gauge, a telescoping steering wheel, and an adjustable clutch pedal.
