This is an old pic of my interior. I couldn't get the camera working. BUt when I do I will post the other. and my gauges.

 

Everything looks good, Red13brx7, but the seat covers, and the loose vynil on your door panels.

Thanks, that seems about right, pretty cheap too.

Each carpet set includes a fully molded carpet which conforms to all floorpan contours, has vinyl heel pads and bound seam edges for durability, This complete, cut-pile carpet set is a direct replacement for the stock RX-7 carpet, and is available in 36 assorted colors to match specific interior colors. Specify color desired..

313$ For my car, OEM replacement, not bad.

 

I did everything myself, and the seats were a pain in the *** to do and so were those damn door panels. I'm not sure how to get the dorr panels tighter, but I am probably going to try this summer. But the seats have to stay the way they are. Because thats all I have. Me and my mom sewed them, they were rahter hard to do, but only cost 40 dollars for all the material, so I think for the money it looks damn good.

 

Ok, you DO NOT need to remove the dash--- it's too involved, and besides, it only takes an hour or so to properly mask it off so that the vinylkote doesn't get sprayed all over the inside of your windshield and anywhere else that you don't want sprayed.
I don't know where you'd get replacement carpet but it probably wouldn't hurt to try Mazda, ya never know. Or try a wrecking yard.
You can use the same stuff that you use to do your vinyl and leather components on the carpets, but when you spray it on brush it with something (one of your girlfriend's coarser hairbrushes maybe?) while it's still wet in order to keep it from sticking together--- the idea is for it to look and feel like carpet, not carpet filled with dried paint.
Only problem is, if you do your carpets as well as everything else you'll probably need more than one liter. The stuff is available in aerosol cans as well, so if the black you choose is the same as the black available in those cans it'll save you from having to buy an additional liter at $120 more just to use only half of it to do the carpets.

 

It's no longer available in rattle can - but you can buy a pint (although it's not listed, you can still buy it this way).

 

 

Sounds like it may be worthwhile to change the carpet, headliner and rear hatch material to the desired color with OEM or custom interior fabric and use the spray only on vinyl and maybe door panels. I could imagine a real mess if you don't spray or dye it correctly.

Is it really that much of a PIA to pull the dash? It seems logical to want to get the parts you want to paint out of the car and on a level surface to spray evenly..

Decisions, Decisions..

 

Whatever you use to color the plastic and vinyl, make sure is NOT just a paint or coating that will scratch, flake, chip or peel off. Molecu-Bond is one that actually bonds to the material, and they are now distributing it in retail channels. There may be other comparable products but MolecuBond is the only one I can comment on.

 

krylon makes a paint called "fusion" that WILL bond to interior plastics and vinyls it also has a flexing agent in it so it will not flake .......i used it on my interior and it looks great...

 

I used two cotes of grey primer and then red 'engine enamel'. Has lasted for over a year now with no chips flaking cracking fading, etc....

 

My RX-7 has a seat, a seatbelt, and a steering column.

The best interior is no interior

 

i like the tan and the blue int. they do little stuff like update the doors with molded speaker pods and they blend the door into the dash kinda like a 2nd gen. the blues a little too carshow bling bling for me but the tan is sweet... i can just imagine getting in to that baby on a 70-80 deg day and taking in a deep breath of ostrage or cow leather.... 2 handing the wheel and it warmly molds to your fingers....

 

DAM your interiors are sick! I like the colors nice job everyone!

 

Real nice..

 

i must say all of them look great , but i like the stock look . mine came with blk int. and thats the way it stayz

 

my sedate cockpit

 

Clean and mostly stock as above are the best IMO. The way I want to build my interior is mostly leaving it clean and stock, but changing minor things (steering wheel, shift ****, E-Brake handle, etc) to improve the look and/or performance, nothing else too major.
