Fender flares for 2nd Gen Rodeos. I'd be first on the list.
Also the stick-on taillight trim similar to the OEM trim as shown on the white Wizard pic above. I know Isuzu wants about $120/pair for these.

The idea for a cone filter cover is great, and one I was going to suggest as well. Make it match up with common 3" or even 2.5" ABS sewage pipe (I.D. or O.D.) and you can sell it to ricers and rednecks alike. To go along with it: a snorkus adapter for the TBI on 2.8L troopers. Cadillac 4.2L engines from the early 1990's have something like this, but it's got an oval intake that's difficult for the DIY type to adapt to. Make one that goes "FROM TBI TO PVC" to go along with the cone filter cover, make them all waterproofable, and you've got yourself a product. BTW, as far as I can tell the TBI on isuzu has the same top neck as any chevy TBI product and also the same as most 2 and 4bbl carburetors found on chevy pickup trucks. So a significant market!

I'll put a spin on that last one. How about a cylindrical cover for cone filters where there will be a lip that the cone canbe installed on the inside, then closed and water tight ealed. Both ends (in & out) could be 2.5 to 3 inch. This would not only be extremely appreciated by us snorkel dudes but the general cone folks as well. If you did this for the general folks they can enclose that cone filter then run a hose to the outside for fresh cool air and not hot air blowing around the engine bay. Check out this link abd you'll know what I'm talking about. It's the first square formatted photo on the left. http://www.intenseperformance.com/products/products.html It would be great if you could make that because I absolutely positively will not buy from that provided link. And to add more thought onto this.... please include either an access door or an access window to periodically check the condition of the filter. Of course each has its pros and cons, a door could be made of the same material as the housing but needs a nice piece of rubber and a clasp to seal it, the window could be polycarbonate or something and may get dirty/cloudy since it's before the filtered air, but slimmer chance of leakage. I really do like the idea though.... I just imagined where some improvement could be made on that website's version. IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME!!!

some kind of headlight/tail light protection would be cool for the troopers , seeing how hard it is to find good parts for them cheap;)A plastic cover or evn metal like a grill to cover would be a great idea
.Snorkels are cool , but I am making my own on that.
