Display Skin
Probably something like this already exists, but the premise would be that select parts of your skin (or all of it) would be replaced with an epidermic like screen that would display whatever your programed. Basically becoming a walking LCD. You could change your tattoos, have flashing logos, multi colored skin, whatever you wanted.

Prolonged uninterrupted visual contact package, this includes: cornea coating, retina filter and a mechanical tearduct replacement. The coating keeps your eyes protected from drying out, the filter prevents long light exposure from burning images in your retina, and the mechanical tearduct replacement will moisten the edges around your eyes.
The purpose of this is to increase competitiveness in staring contests and elevate records from hours to months.

i call it the cyber monocle, or just monocle, which is basically that:
it's a personal computer for those that are too pussy to get some brain/eye implants.
it gets connected on the side of the head of the user; this is used as a personal computer for most of the basic users, but for the most experienced it can also be used to identificate the target at a distance, and it also can zoom in and out providing the user a portable high quality snapshot of everything he wants. it also has wired conection and it's a great hacking gimmick, you can do plenty of shit with that.
for the cons the only thing that i can give is the fact that it is too visible and it might be fragile…
the good thing is that it can be removed from the connections that goes to your brain.

A simple gun with a barrel which goes inside of your forearm. It could be shot by some sort of impulse (I'm not sure if this is possible).
It would go well as a module for a prosthetic arm, and would also make for a great way of CCing.
To shoot it, you would have to bend your arm and put the palm of your hand on your back.
Please tell me how retarded my idea is, I want to know.

A strange idea that just popped into my head:
Everyone's computer- that I know of - has some level of cooling system integrated, whether it be fans and vents, or liquid conduction systems of some kind. Given the kind of tech and chips any chrome will need, it's almost certain that Johnny Silverhand's homage artists and their cybermonkeys will need to cool their chips every once in a while.
So make a display of it. Some just pop open vents and blow for a moment; those are the cheap ones. Others pop out radiator rods and blades from every dense mass of metal and mechanism, sometimes showing the tubes of fluid pumping into and out of them. Then there's that one pop singer, with her iridescent wings of cooling, with shimmering neon glow highlighting the veinery of coolant passing through them as she sings…
Plus the inevitable complaints about people having to start cooling cycles in already-cramped or unpleasantly hot circumstances, the changes in lingo("Oi! Cool yer chips!" "Dude showed his fans at that."). In the right elite's room, there might even be little sockets on the walls to exchange fluids.

Rapidly extendable/retractable limb replacements which can extend itself longer than a normal human limb. Can provide additional force for jumping and punching, and is useful for grabbing items from the highest shelf. Not useful if you are wearing tight jeans.
A body aug that collects urine, feces (which it liquidifies), and other excess bodily fluids in a plastic container embedded in the body. It does so by redirecting the urethra and colon to the container. Said container can be accessed by opening a plastic "hatch" located somewhere around your lower abdomen. Once the container is full, the aug sends a signal (through vibration or to your phone/watch) that you need to replace the container. The container is automatically sealed once removed, and can be disposed of in the trash. It is vital you place a new container in the excretion chamber, lest the shit and piss pile up, leak through, and make you stink like a used Neo Kobe hooker.
The purpose behind this aug is to remove the need of going to the bathroom. The user will feel nothing during the excretion. You will need to carry a few plastic bottles on your person at all times, which you can purchase at your closest Ninetek™ Apothecary.

Penile Trajectory Vision; so I can experience space docking procedures? Novel.
Male Rape Blocker; clarification needed. Does the person who is about to rape stop themselves by blowing their own junk off, or is this a hack where the person about to be raped blows off the rapists penis due to an unknown exploit? Maybe not C4 in the tissue, but a buffer overflow hack and a disregard the safeties on the corpora cavernosa, a.k.a. flood the chamber until it pops? Either way, nice.
But I was not advocating rape, in any case. Let me throw that out there. I was riffing off of Charles Stross's Glasshouse. Consenting adults going into "heat" to deepen their connection. Losing control in a narrowly defined rule set to experience addiction and bliss without hurting anyone.

I've suffered from exceptionally severe scoliosis for most of my life, with severity on the "Holy shit, please let us do research on you," level. Long story short, I had to have a titanium rails screwed into my spine to hold it in place. It was excruciatingly painful, and a long recovery, but the way I see it, I've already gone through the overhead to have something mounted internally. I don't know what, though.
They're screwed directly into my vertebrae, so it's obviously not meant to bear a heavy load, but it could definitely be used for something. It's close to the skin, so there's probably not a whole lot of extra room, though a small computer could certainly fit. Alternatively, assuming a safe and sanitary method, perhaps some kind of extension could be built to have ports extending outside of the skin, allowing for modularity.

Your false ribs are replaced with hardened flexible polymer, and bound by electroactive polymer weaves instead of cartilage, to aim the firearm's mechanism consciously and idly with some computer bits in your head.
It can fire a 4.85mm mild lead bullet from an 18mm long brick of solid propellant, from a five round tube magazine loaded from a port just above the barrel on your sternum. It is completely concealed in your chest cavity.

…Do you have any idea how badly that would fuck up your heart and lungs?
No, seriously. You'd be putting a pretty amazing amount of force directly into the thing surrounding the chest cavity, which you are designing to bend. In fact, you're designing it to bend in such a way that it will, most likely, strike the organs you wanted to protect.
Granted, 4.85mm is a significantly smaller bullet; however, you'd still have plenty of powder behind it, and all that extra momentum's gotta go somewhere.
You'd be punching yourself in the chest, with the approximate force of half a 9mm bullet, five times, without the protection of a real ribcage.
TL;DR: Learn some physics and biology, then we'll talk.

Magnets are limited as well, if they're not powerful you can't attach much, but if they're too strong they cut off circulation to the skin kill it off.

Artificial blood that can be any colour you want. Gangs will share a characteristic colour as a loyalty thing and regular people could make their blood more strikingly red than natural blood as some kind of social class statement.
It will also be easier for the neo noir detective to move the plot along when he deduces that the Deckers had a fight with the Freebots because there's blue and orange blood everywhere.

Implants need to be somehow powered up.
Modern way to do it is to stick a battery in them.
It suck, because batteries can't store much energy, so they have to be recharged or replaced often. It is especially bad whith internal implants. Cutting up your chest to replace battery in your cyber-heart is not pleasant.
We probably could introduce some central power unit, but it's a high possibility for vendor-locking your self forever, and you'll have to put new wires all over your body every time you want to install new implant.
And you still have to recharge constantly, jumping from one power-socket to other.
The right way to do it would be by exploiting same mechanism that powers our natural organs: breake down sugars in your blood stream and burn them for energy.
But it's pretty complex process and will probably be very ineficient, steel and silicium organs are just to different from organic ones.
As a compromise I propose slight modification to digestive system and introduction of nanobots to blood stream.
In addition to your usual diet you will be eating special augpaste that stores energy in a form useable by your implants. That paste them prepared by your stomach and delivered to implants by nanobots through your bloodstream.
We reuse existing body infrastructure (no need for unnecessary invasive operations) and deliver more energy to your robotic bodyparts, and we store that energy in a form easy to consume (no need for power-socket) and transport and store.
There's still chance of vendor-lockin, but as this system is built from several semi-independent components, it's way easier to break out.

Why don't we have living metal/silicon things either way?
You could have a system that's functionally the same as living muscle, but stronger and harder to break.

matrix and the laws of thermodynamics say humans output lots of energy, surely some form of it can be harvested?
piezoelectric materials gain energy from compression/extension, others from movement or electromagnetic induction.
sorry, but with those trips you look like a monsanto spokesman.
▶ No.40683

You won't get much energy that way. Matrix was wrong (because it needed humans for plot), and because of second law of thermodynamics released energy is extremely hard to capture.
IIRC IRL-expretiments seem to support me on that too.
And the fact that if we want to rise energy output of such system we have to get less efficient with our energy really rubs me the wrong way.

a skull gun is an emergency weapon. when you see him draw you shoot, and the surprise gives you enough time to get out a better gun and cut the bastard in half
a .22 caliber derringer would be perfect for most combat cyborgs, although gunther would probably prefer a 10mm skullgun
chest gun interferes with most body armour
