Default Cool machined stuff

Ok, I'm having an old buddy who I just reconnected with, who is a machine shop manager here in Santa Clara that is going to do some really cool custom stuff with parts of my car. Right now he is designing the cowl supports out of cnc billet titanium, and doing some cool patterns in it. He's going to give me a cad drawing of it in a few days and see what I think. He's also going to design a new trunk hinge out of Ti as well. Ill show you guys some photos in a few days or a week when he's done with the cowl supports. The trunk hinges will be after that. Since now I have a aero space firm making parts for me, what else do you guys think should or could be made for the car? I'm pretty stoked that he and his gang are doing this for me.

titanium trim like tail lamp housings and emblems maybe some Ti connecting rods but I think a Ti shift knob and Ti dash knobs would be dope and not that expensive.

door handles that bolt to the factory doors but have a slighly more modern look.

Well Marquez has the sweet tail light housings, so no use doing that. You're right about the dash stuff, but all of my dash stuff is billet already. Momo has some killer looking billet knobs though.

A door handle would be cool, but that would involve moving parts. I want to keep it simple, or as simple as possible.

If he's got 3D capabilities on a machining center, it would be cool to do a set of one off billet or even fabbed mirrors w/ matching one inside.
