Ship skins, bobbleheads, rainbow lasers, fuzzy dice, Engine trails, Firework missile ammo.. we could have all sorts of cosmetic things that would be fun!
When i get to walk around on my ship though, things start go get pretty interesting. Why can't i buy a hat? what do you mean this isn't Elite:SoloFortress 2??? Where do i install the new Coffee machine in my clipper?

Great idea, my English buddy would love a cup of tea with a tea bag on the dash.
Haha, but it could also be batting the cockpit window trying to catch that laser you're firing.
And when you can walk around your ship - then come back to get back in your pilot seat ... and you can't because it's sleeping on it. ;P
The possibilities...

Ooooh, yes! I'm a model-maker as my 'main' hobby, and I'd so go for small(ish) models that I could build of a Sidey, Cobra, Asp, T7 and more. Sort of chart my progress through the game in front of my monitor to keep me grounded as to where I came from. And of course, I can paint them i whatever 'custom skin' I chose. Maybe even take pictures of them and send them to FD, and if they like them enough, they may turn them into a custom skin for others to buy. In fact, most of the work has probably been done for them. I bet most of the ships have been 3D printed by someone by now!

Yes, it's already in game
Simply don't repair your paintwork and a few weeks of general use will have your ship looking scuffed and scratched.
Everything else - hull, mods, integrity - can be kept in top condition without affecting the looks.
In 1.3 the "Repair All" button now excludes your paintwork, so it's much easier to achieve this effect if you want it.
In reply to the OP:
I'd be happy to pay for the cockpit mods that others have mentioned.
And when our pilot avatars become more relevant, some customisation for them; goggles, aviators, flight jackets etc would be cool.

Oh, I like the cat idea. Of course, I already have 2 cats sleeping on the keyboard, walking in front of the screen at the worst time, chasing the lasers, etc.

Customised decals (perhaps a commander 'name' decal for example and 'submitted to be verified' personalised decals we can make ourselves... By this I mean i pay say 5 quid and I get to submit a decal to FD for approval for my own personal use use on my ships (so they can make sure it is an acceptable image), of course all such decals must be our own artwork and a disclaimer for FD signed etc...
Different colour cockpit chairs
Different colour cockpit chairs
Nice idea, I just don't see it being practical. If for no other reason than the fact that you generally don't get to see the outside of your ship, and any custom decals would have to be spread, almost like a virus, to the computers of other players for them to see it. That and too many unsuitable submissions mean it's unlikely in the extreme for FD to add in.
.
Having said that, however, they would get a nominal fee from me for a "Design a graphic" contest entry. The winner gets their design coded and added to the store.
And what's with the skin packs? I know they appeal, I have a couple myself, but would rather pay £2 for a single one that £5 for a set of 6, 5 of which I probably won't use. And if I later change my mind, I'll have to pay another £2.
Would love to be able to pay to change the upholstery in the cockpit to either a complimentary or a contrasting colour as the outside though. Black Cobra with Red interior, anyone? Or green/red, or blue/orange. I could spend quite a bit if I could change the colour of my cockpit. Or maybe different levels of trim? [Value/Basic/Tuner/Executive/High End/Oppulent?] Possibly you'd have to go for the Executive or higher for leather seats, High end including contrasting stitching, and Tuner having an obvious ICE (In Cockpit Entertainment) set-up.
SHIP NAME DECAL
Now that I've slept on it, I was thinking... I'm not interested in Madoka skins or whoever the latest waifu may be, but I sure as heck wouldn't mind a big fat Team Dai Gurren logo on top of my Asp.
Nothing, in fact I'd get a refund on my future DLC's if I could, at least until they prove they are actually going to flesh out the current game mechanics and start providing us with the game they initially promised.
They do not need any more of your cash, if CQC didn't get them enough blood money off MS then that's their silly fault.
And they havnt even talked about a PS4 release yet and what their exclusive will be for even more extra $.
