Etched vehicle part ideas

Bob, I contacted you about teh possibility of creating etched detail parts for vehicles. Here are some ideas I have come up with:

Mudflaps with company logo (Ford, Mack, Peterbilt, etc.)
New grills for Atlas Ford 8000 series (a slatted grill with blue oval emblem would change the area of the vehicle), Con-Cor Kenworth, GHQ Peterbilt
Exterior sun visor for trucks
Crash gaurd/bulkhead for various trucks (used on tractors hauling flatbad trailers to protect cabs from shifting cargo)
Side view mirrors for trucks and cars
Signal/marker lights for trucks
Fire truck detail set (shovel, ax, picks and poles, fan, jaws, hydrand wrench,  etc
Etched replacment cab for GHQ Komatsu Front end loader, enclosed cab for backhow

American eyes, American eyes
View the world from American eyes
Bury the past, rob us blind
And leave nothing behind

If I may add to Daniel's list

1 Texas front bumper for the trucks he mentioned (a simple full width bumper
   for the Ford would be nice too)
2 Rectangular headlights to go with that new Ford grille
3 Do those headache racks in various styles (window opening,solid panel,tool   
   cabinets,chain racks)
4 Do those mirrors out of thicker stock (I have some Road Apples etched 
   mirrors and it seems if you look at them they are breaking)
5 This one could be iffy but here goes anyway -Ladder racks and ladders for
   service trucks and fire trucks

    I now return you to the OP.
