A few different things that'd be awesome to see:

(1)
Console pod(s)(would go where the elongated cubby is next to the cupholders on the drivers side of the center console). It'd give a Camaro-esque gauge location looking up and back at the driver.

(2)
Something similar to what the Tahoe and Burbans have where the airbag switch is in the trucks. A nice simple cubby to hold extra stuff.

(3)
A simple panel that could be used for switches or just as a filler on the left side of the steering wheel where the old shaped cubby is(used as a switch panel on 4x4 for those controls).

(4)
Double din insert or large cubby replacement for two smaller more useless slots in console. This would add a location for either a 7" screen for use by the passenger if dvd player present for long trips, or add a double din location that looks back toward the driver. Nice large cubby spot could be used to house the larger smartphones being used today.

I actually have a pod for your #2 choice. Unfortunatly for your other choices I dont see much of a market to be had for them unless you can get a group commited and I will start making something.. Making a mold takes awhile to build plus trial and error runs on the vac table to get it right, and if its for one guy one sell its kinda not worth it for me. Not trying to be harsh or rude here but if a decent amount people show a commited interest I will get on it

I have had one sale since yours. What I was getting at on my other post was I got burned bad on another pod design. It was a bad *** dash pod and half of the forum wanted one, took me 2 months to build and perfect it. When it came time to market and sell it, I had maybe 5 orders.
