Seems the picture upload and customize-able sticky notes are really popular.
Any type of customization that you know is truly unique.

Not sure if it has been mentioned or if this counts as stuff but different computer voices during various stages of mech response would be pretty cool to have.

Recognizable TROPHIES in the cockpit for prestige. Trophies of the enemies you have SLAIN. Trophies that mean something from your player stats, or game events? Distinguished service badges etc.
In essence something that lets my victims know that I ENJOYED beating them when they watch the kill cam, and that they should flee in terror the next time they see me on the battlefield

Not gonna lie.. didn't read all 31 pages before responding.. so these may have already been mentioned.
Hula Girl.. duh, this is a must.
Pinup Girl poster(posing by a 'Mech of course)
The bobblehead mentioned already would be shiny.
A Book/datapad/etc casually set to the side (hey, you gotta have something to read while strapped in waiting for the drop).
I'll second/third the RL pic, my kids would get a kick out of seeing their picture in game.
Beverage containers (cans/bottles)..full or empty..
I think that's it for now..

A mini-kegger on the right wing with a bending straw is mandatory standard in all of the Free Rasalhague Republic cockpits.
As well as the Axe laying on top of dials in the left wing, just in case you need to disembark the 'Mech and get dirty.
Also: a hanging plushies from the top center of known Rasalhague 'Mechs.

How about a not to FASA and put up a "Nerps for victory" or some kind of Nerps sticker.
How about a deck of playing cards or better yet let us choose a playing card (Ace of Spades, King of Hearts, etc.) to pin up.
Katrina Steiner pinup yeeeeah.
Several kinds of religious symbols including the Unfinished Book.
Pack of cigs.
House symbols and maybe some planetary flags.

Plastic dinosaurs (Think We shall call this land, this land. From Firefly...?)
Hula girl
Fuzzy dice or other hanger
retro looking pic taped up(pinup girl kinda thing), bonus points if we can upload out own, double bonus points if it automatically applies a retro-black-and-white filter to it
Maybe a "Fragile" sticker? oh should that go on the outside?
