There really isn't a market for CF FC parts. FC owners are too poor/cheap to make tons of parts for. Unless you want to do it 'out of the goodness of your heart.'

Try FG. Then go for things that break all the time, like the center console, steering surround, speaker surrounds + so on. I'm sure there would be more of a market for that + people would be willing to pay for those parts as well.

FG or CF option!!! Rear hatch cover, door panels, replacement cargo lids, clusterreplacement panel so you can put nothing but aftermarket gauges as your cluster, center console lid THAT IS NOT SO BULKY...make a more sleek one, warning light gauge cluster, the trim at the bottom of the door and have it say "Mazda RX-7", a whole dash REPLACEMENT.....I would slowly buy all this. I'm cheap and fiberglass is almost just as light as CF so I would probably buy FG over CF. I agree with the statement above, I think more people would buy FG

I want a cf or fg radio bezel too...
It would be alot better if it was made out of fg or cf not just wrapped.
Like some of the interior pieces that are hard to find.
Make it happen
Plus color matching would be great!!!

Center console trim piece and a-pillars would be cool. Along with the template piece that covers the stock gauges, that would be fairly cheap I think? Get them started on that and we can go from there.

Well,
I own a Composite shop in KELLER, TX. I am currently molding and reproducing all the front facia, hood, doors, light covers, bumpers and creating a wing, for my 86 N/A Sport. I am also molding EVERY SINGLE plastic piece from my interior, as well as making a few custom parts for it. HOWEVER, these will not be complete until MID summer 09. Once complete I WILL Be offering these parts for sale. PM me if you have interest in these parts or would like s5 parts molded (I do not have access to an s5 so, If you want a discount for letting me use your s5 part to make a mold from we can talk...)

Sounds like everyone and the brother is into this sort of thing now. Hopefully all of the competition keeps prices down. I'd love to see the CF interior parts for the FC readily available.

CF a-pillars would be gangsta! i would imagine they would sell pretty well too considering most people's a-pillars are cracked/broken.

why dont we just do a poll so we can see what everyone wants the most

I would like this

I would also like a pillars S4

triangular mirror bolt cover interior piece

Also I would need prices on this stuff.

You would get much better feedback if you supplied more information and asked questions that were less vague.

I would be in for all those pieces I mentioned but who knows how much they are, what the turnaround time is, ect.

I know right, I'd love to be able to pick and choose all different pieces to have in CF, these cars are old and the interiors are so brittle by now.

I already made that center panel pictured above and will be making those little triangle mirror covers, shifter surround, as well as a new idiot surround/AFR gauge surround, heater vent blank panels, etc....for my own car.

I am almost done making a mold for the center panel so I can make some copies entirely out of FG or CF. There are so many pieces that I would like to reproduce but each one takes time to make and people have a lot of different ideas on how things should look. I'm just taking it easy and we'll see what the interest is. One way or the other, whether I make it or someone else makes it, I want to get some nice cool CF components.

And I was thinking about making regular S4 taillights in CF, just like stock but CF, that would be awesome.
