Interior: Matching maroon vinyl

I have a '79 rx7 with the red/maroon/wine interior and I just made some kick panels that I would like to wrap in vinyl. Does anyone know where I can get a roll or sheets that match the original interior perfectly or near perfect?
So if anyone has done any interior work with the Sa's I would appreciate your input.

Cheers!

I have the maroon interior in the S3 and I used wine colored marine vinyl to redo the arm rests on the doors. People don't even realize a difference until I tell them, I got it from Jo Ann Fabrics and it wasn't too bad. 2 yards is what I bought and used only about half of it.

Can you post a picture?
I've never been vinyl shopping before and all the interior shops in my area are just at the point where making a trip out there isn't worth it.

I just pulled a complete wine interior out of my 80 if you need parts.

Pictures please!!!!
I do need a couple things like the door cards, the rear hatch release cover, and maybe the dash if it's in one piece. Condition is everything though. PM me pics or whatever I'm sure I can use something.
The kick panels are just the hard wood material and are painted over or something so I wanted to wrap them in something.

Nice.
I work at Michaels arts and crafts and Jo Anns is a competitor so I don't shop there. lol
I'll go down and see what they have. The Sa's red interior is more maroon than red like the fb's.
We'll see

The dash is in the same condition as mine.
The carpet looks amazing! So the door cards, rear hatch release cover, the rear carpet (groceries area), and the just the FRONT portion of the carpet is what I'm looking for.
I need the part of the carpet when your feet rest. I was driving one day and a lady slammed on her brakes real fast when I wasn't expecting in the my right foot caught the carpet and ripped a giant hole.
Is the price you listed include shipping?
I don't have that belt in the rear bay what is it for?

I went to Jo Anns and they had a viyln that matches almost perfectly under the name of walnut so I picked up a yard for 20$. They look amazing and I will have pics up tonight.

It will probably cost $150 to ship everything.

If you just want carpet, door panels, and hard plastic bits I could do $150 shipped.

Yes, dash is cracked. You can get a red dash cap from Mazdatrix for about $170.

The rear carpet is not original, it looks decent though. It might be a custom at home job from the original owner. The only thing I think I kept was the center console. I painted it red because the two black ones I have are cracked up and have broken hinges.

Damn, my rear hatch carpet was replaced in the 90's by my dad due to it starting to rot from a damaged hatch seal. He went to an upholstery shop and they weren't able to match the original color so it was done in black.
My car is complete just come portions of the interior were damaged over the years.
So for the door cars, rear hatch release cover, and front portion of carpet is it possible to Jew you down to 130$ shipped?

I can do $130 shipped on the cards, rear plastic, and front carpet. The front carpet was cut under where it slips into the heater core under the dash. I was very eager to install the new black carpet... Should be unnoticeable once installed. The door cards are in very good shape. Rear plastic hatch piece is good I think. Ill take pictures and text you.
