I'm very curious to see if you guys are interested in doing that to your cars, or if you already have. When I say full restoration I mean FULL (literally looks brand new...including underneath).

I just finished in my restoration project of my car..
So far non-performance parts that I have restored are:

New Red Stock Paint Job
New Door Locks Inclduing Trunk
New Door Jams
New Stock Signal Lense
Everything in working order including the wiper logicon
Rebuilt Engine
Bushings.. Including a pair of Racing Beat bushings
Upgraded Brake Rotors
Rebuilt Calipers and Lines
New Clutch line SS
Cleander the underbody

Thinking of strenthening the Frame in the future with spot welds or additional reenforcement bars other then strut bars...

I have done alot of aftermarket parts. The list is too long

God, I'm NOT looking forward to paying $$$$ for the cracked outer windshield plastic trim, cracked inner convertible windshield pillar cover, cracked convertible interior side pillar, seat covers, and possibly the faded carpet, faded convertible spare tire cover, and faded convertible wind blocker (just to get the mazda logo mostly).

I know the crusty side window trim is cheap from mazdatrix, but that's about it.

Also, the cracked plastic nose underbody (ie cracked surround around the air pump intake in the passengers side front nose).

I think that's all the "you can't fix" plastic stuff that cracks.
