Lightbulb Ultimate Gadgets - Innovation Needed!

I really lust for new toys on my GS300 SE. I find myself thinking of what would make it the ulitmate luxury car. Looking at LS features, thinking of new ones. I don't know if anyone has already innovated, invented or attemted and failed at the following, but it would be cool for us all to brainstorm or hip each other to these things.

I know someone's gonna say "just get an LS" but I don't have the money right now, plus the GS is a lot more slinky to look at! And it's interesting to discuss these things, not all of them from the LS anyway.

Also do YOU have any suggestions for ultimate luxury in your GS?

1. The front cup holding section. Sureley there must be something that could be shaped to go into the bottom of this so it would cool the bottom of any bottles in the holder! Perhaps some kind of heat dissipating metal or something plugged into the arm rest electric socket?! Also, like some top rangeSaabs, it's be cool to have a chilled golvebox.

2. Can the GS be programmed in any way to lower both side rearview mirrors when you put it into reverse, like the LS does?

3. Has anyone ever installed the coolerbox that is used on the LS's rear seat into a GS? Details please!

4. Could the LS's defrosting front wipers be applied to the GS?

5. Is there a power rear sunshade blind that can be fitted to the GS?

Oh any for eye candy? A real lux xar... check the Maycach out... damn

Don't know about that, but my CLK does that!!! Hehe...


Um, I'm sure for the right amount of money, any of this can be done.

In regards to the cup holder in the front though, I am sure that the shifter is in the way down there so it would probably make it impossible. I could be wrong though.
