Market Research-What kind of products are you looking for to mod your g35?
From the shows I have attended in the past 4 weeks,I have been asked by a few companies(to remain nameless at this point) what kind of products G owners are looking for.Such as
Suspension: coil overs,strut bars,brace bars/What kind of features are important/price point
Body kits:Possible wide body kit/What kind of style ? -clean & simple - radical to look totally different. Price range.
Engine dress up:any suggestions on products ?
Wheels:Center piece designs for 3 piece forged wheels.
Please leave reasonable suggestions.This is serious.Some companies are finally realizing the growth of the G35.So to make this work for the companies and us G owners,They need our imput on what we want that they can make, and of course make a profit so they can stay in business.I hope we can all help each other out.

For the bodykits, I'd say clean and simple. There's not much in the way of that right now.
Also, for the engine dressup, how about an all-new engine cover? Like an aluminum or chrome or chrome and aluminum one with a different style than stock?

Lower Priced Strut Bar.
Gt-Spec like Body Stiffening braces and brackets.
Headlight(Quad Projectors, CCFL Strip( mass produced so its cheaper))
JDM Like Fog Lights they don't have to be HID(Cheaper)
Grille(Can someone one come out with something other than Gialla-like Knockoffs)
Camber Kits(mostly for the front) with a decent price and more Pos Adjustment.
Engine Dress-up(Braided Hose Kit, Aluminum caps and so on)
Hood Designs maybe some Niche market for the Stillen SC guys(Maybe more would jump on the stillen SC wagon if there were more choices in hoods).
Body Kit simple something that would complement the lines of the G.
Maybe Some nice Sideskirt and Front lip combo for those that don't wan't to
do a whole bumper change ala Stillen lip design.
Custom Kick Panels for the Audio guys i know PSIBrick makes some but again something more on a mass scale would probably be cheaper ala Qlogic.
Aftermarket Install Kit for aftermarket Radios for the G not right now the only way to do is using the JDM components.
Tow Licence Plate brackets only one in the market now is Stillen.

A grill-hood combo. Keep the OEM grill look, but without those bumps. And change the shape of the grill, so that it isn't oval. The top part of the grill should be flat, so that would require a redesigned hood that comes down more.
i agree: cheaper coil overs, more hoods (selection is small and most look ricer IMO), cheaper struts, more kinds of clear corners w/ color combos and led or ccfl lighting, cheaper front projector lighting, more engine upgrade options that are still reliable (cause i only know of 2 spacer companies and they hold the pricing), cheaper exhaust w/ more tone variations right now its loud or really loud unless ur stock.
but i cant ask for 2 much

Engine Management: definitely and ECU or something along those lines if possible
Bodykit: The G's lines are hard to keep looking nice (using bodykits) IMO, subtle and clean, while keeping the smooth shape.

Hey guy's thanks for the responses.let me clear some things up of what I am looking for.I am not looking to do engine performance or lighting upgrades.
I allready know every body wants products that cost less.When I say price point I mean,how does $900.00 sound for a set of coilovers that are special ordered with what spring rate you want,that are height adjustable,4 way valve adjustable,a oversized piston rod & 1 year no hassle warranty ? / How does a front stut bar for about $300.00 made from stainless steel sound ? / For the body, I have someone seriously looking into making a widebody kit.I want to get opinions of what style the majority would like to see in a wide body kit,subtle or something radical(will not be changing the hood)$5,500-$6,000 price range.We will be looking into brace bars and maybe some camber arms,but no price point at this time.As for grille options I think most people allready now what I offer,if not,you can search it.Thank you for your time & keep the comments coming.
