Question What do you guys want?

If someone were to design some new product out there for the protege (performance or anything) what would you most want to see? (even the small stuff)

Poly engine mounts (or inserts) that are a lower durometer than AWR's. And all four mounts.

Paint that doesn't chip off the metal when anything touches it. (My paint seems like it would rather be off the car than on it.)

A power door lock switch on the passenger side.

Steering wheel that telescopes in and out as well as tilts up and down.

A taller 5th gear or a 6 speed tranny. Seems like cars in the same weight class with same hp dont need to rev as high as ours.
A MSP5 would be nice.
