About to start RX-7 restoration
So I will be bringing home a 94 rx-7 in the next few days that needs an exterior restoration, as well as a new engine.
I have the engine side of the build covered (LS2) but what I need help with is sourcing exterior trim parts. Is there anyone besides the mazda dealers that have trim and weather striping?
The car needs all the trim around the glass replaced (front, rear, left, right) , both door weather striping and some other small stuff.
Help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Contact Ray at Malloy Mazda(search the forum for his info) and he should give you a great deal. To answer your questions though I have never seen a place that sells the trim pieces, however any auto glass company can replace the seals for you, but hte hard plastic trim on the driv/pass window would be hard to locate outside of mazda I would think.

Also if you are doing any sort of restoration (or just cleaning up and making it road worthy) get new OEM seals and stripping and the small plastic/rubber bits. Anything you would find used or in a salvage yard will be old and brittle and likely just fall apart in the near future.
As for the factory parts, Ray is your man.
Good luck,

+1 for Ray.
I've also good had luck over on parts.com with exterior stuff. Shipping was quoted at over $200 then they emailed me and said "we have a warehouse in your area, if you want to pick it up then there's no shipping". Cool beans.
