How about a cup holder that integrates with the interior of the car? Maybe something that replaces the existing center armrest.
A thin dash cap closely molded and faired into the existing dash that can be painted and attached with 3M tape in an unobvious way.
Replacement stone protectors, also thin, paintable, and attached with 3M tape.

I honestly think you can't go wrong with carbon fiber interior trim pieces. I am willing to bet there's a large amount of us who do not want to wrap and would buy in a heart beat.

Porsche don't sell 4 cylinder or 8 cylinder (928) engine blocks no more.... that should tell you a GOOD BIT about whether or not you should take off your shoes and socks and wade in.......
yeah, if the damn cars were worth your trouble, Porsche would be selling engine blocks. but they don't. why? because despite engines getting used up, blocks from endless numbers of discarded junk cars remain plentiful. interest or new blood coming into the brand is non-existent, and the people who didn't get their 944s when they were new, arrived and mostly moved on....
as the younger generation just keeps getting poorer, ricier and more pathetic in general (not to mention having no personal memories of the 944), I wouldn't expect the situation to reverse anytime soon. (and before someone runs off the handle, please compare the current state of affairs to the avant-garde status held by lucky owners just 15~20 years ago. I know, because **I had an almost new one...
vendors are collecting food stamps. the D-9 guys invest thousands in a new 968 Turbo RS adjustable rear spoiler just to sell 5 units in 3 years. they make a beautiful 993 headlamp kit for the 968 that'll take 40 pounds off the front of the car (and nobody buys it). Mark was recently banned from RL, and Benji now spends most of his mining coal in Switzerland (or something like that).
they make a nice rear seat delete kit. I know because I have their delete kit.
it takes about 7 weeks to receive it. and nobody buys it.
* there's been a 67~70% loss in enthusiasts posting on the '44 forum in just the last 4 years (about). many have moved on the to the 6 cylinder cars or went bankrupt from the cost of keeping these maintenance pigs on the road.
if you make up some cool stuff for the 944, you'll be doing it for fun.
(which itself, might not be a bad thing). otherwise,
sorry.
