How about some lotion and a box of tissues?

Long operations can get boring.

I laughed. And the moment I read this I immediately thought of one particular image from a very old battletech book I have.

I support all of the ideas so far - I think having custom options ought to reflect the player. Things like pictures of loved ones, fuzzy dice, ect work well. Think of stuff folks would have on their car or what WWII fighter pilots would have in the cockpits with them, and you have an idea.

Little ethnic trinkets (things like feathers, or beads) would work too. Stuff that helps people either feel like they are there (.e. stuff the player finds significant) or that the character they're playing has personality of their own.
'bumper' stickers are more a skin thing for external (and I would love to see these!).
Internal stuff... little devices, PDAs, cell phone like objects, MP3 players, Bobble heads, little figures (Dinos anyone? Trees? ect)
Maybe fortune cookie sayings taped to the dash?
Wear and tear (I'd actually almost like to see this option something that develops for a map or two after loosing - you know, your cockpit slowly being reassembled kind of thing?)
Maybe have it look kind of jury rigged with wires, tape and little sticky notes everywhere.

Barring that, just trophies taped down on the dashboard.

Can I have some toy dinosaurs and a couple of plastic trees? A triceratops and a T-Rex would do nicely...

Ahh, Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

Urban bobble would be nice, and maybe a starting checklist somewhere.

I don't really know what to add to this other than I want my Mech to feel like it's mine & it's special.

This. This will make or break vanity items. Same with skins.

Things I would like to see, or be able to place, in my cockpit:

Hula Girl, Fuzzy Dice, Air Freshener.
Radio, Music Player, Maybe an Urbanmech shaped portable music player.
A Notepad, that you can actually write (type) things on. Helpful for those PUG teams.
Photos, Photo holders, Pin-Up/Insignia/Propaganda Posters.
A checklist, like a "Tech's Guide to Not Blowing Up", "10 Things You Should Remember", "Start-Up Sequence", etc.
A "Patrol Rations" Cooler, A Keg, A Vending Machine (small)

And the final, most inflammatory piece of visual customization: A game console for the fictional "MechAttack" game series

That all sounds like a good start to me.
