are you talking about the part that fits over the combination switch on the column?

Dan

 

Yep!!!!!!

 

honestly I feel it would look very out of place with the rest of the car. Id rather see replica grey parts for 84/85. (the grey upper surround is no longer available)

But yea I feel the surround should match the dash, so if you want to make a carbon fiber dash....

But in all seriousnes I carbon fiber stereo surround would be WICKED

 

I am also looking into that one but one thing @ a time

 

I agree that the c/f is cool, but it would have to be multiple pieces (the stereo surround, the column surround, shifter surround and the guages).. Too much for one time, but I doubt many people would buy one without the others.

 

I agree. I would be interested if there were more pieces to follow.

 

the stereo surround, the column surround, shifter surround, guages door handle cups..

All of these parts I will look into and see what the total will be for the molds .

Please keep the thoughts coming....

danny, i wany one for my GSL-SE if you can mold them for both s1-2 and s3 i will buy one, any estimate for cost? what else would be bad *** would be a CF stereo/ shifter trim, that would look so bad *** in my black/dark grey interior

 

I'd have to see on on the car first, but thats something I might be interested in, cf looks cool

 

i would really like to see the plastic gauge overlay, the gauge shrouding, the steering column shroud, stereo and shifter trim, door cups that would be an awesome set, i would pay the upper of 200 -250 dollars for all this if u can do it and its HIGH QUALITY ****..

keep us informed dan

starting with the steering surround, I'd buy any interior stuff you make in Carbon Fiber Dan... I need a new surround anyways, as I cracked mine changing my combo switch....

Dan

 

i thought almost everyone surround is different. i remember going through 6 rx7s at the junk yard and all were different, but none were what i needed for my 84 gs, but its gone now so no worries

 

Screw the looks, I'd like one so i wouldn't have to worry about the damn thing cracking anymore, remember CF is STRONG it's not just for looks... AND IT"S PAINTABLE if you don't like the way cf would look in your car...

 

I would be interested to I have 85 base model I would pay around $200-250 for like a whole package deal maybe more if it is high quality.

 

Gregs rember its in writing you asked for "HIGH QUALITY ****"every one else will only get the best I can find...

I will keep you all posted on what it will take.

yea i might end up doing the center console surround over my christmas break or sooner if i have time then make a mold by the end of the year just cause all the surrounds for my brothers car and all the parts cars are broken even one of the screws plastic holder are broke on mine so i want something that will hold up. so let me finish the direct fire setup tonight and i'll maybe start tomorrow on the mold if i remember. stupid ADD.

 

Stereo and shifter surround, maybe gauge bezel

 

^^^ yeah need the gauge bezel if we are gonna get the manntis reverse indiglo gauges.

 

Well than I will start looking for a place that can make the molds for all of this stuff.

just to give you guys a heads up it will take some time as I now have homework to do on this and make it all fit like it should [right] and as money flows into this task but I will keep you all posted as this un-folds.

Forgot to clarify, this'll be for the 84/85 US Spec style interior.

 

I'd love an 84/85 bezel and surround in cf!

 

ditto, they're rare in stock form so we need them from somewhere.

 

I will do all the first gen starting with 84-85 [S3]

do you plan to autoclave your CF parts? from what i know about CF...with out autoclaving it becomes brittle after a while and looses alot of its strengh...I have an autoclave that would fit stereo benzles...and would trade its use for a 83 benzle
