I have a cracked dash I would sell you.I was gonna recover it but im a very good procrastinator. And for head lights get some hella e codes or similar h4 conversion head lights.Then you can actually use nice bulbs or hid

There is a vendor in the vendor section, that has carbon fiber and fiber glass hoods Fiber glass is something like $500 and Carbon is like $600+

well they might not be a vendor, but they have a web site called rotary shack, good and bad things from, go check them out there a little pricey tho...

There is another guy here in SD who makes carbon fiber parts for the rx2 and 7 but it is on a made to order meal type of deal...

And the other person that was mentioned above has some nice prices on the first gen hood. I just sent him a pm about trying to get a pic of one of there carbon fiber hoods...
