Check out the Torasport full carbon fiber kit. I love mine. Not sure on the pricing though.

those overlays are nice but they don't go edge to edge.

Mark Koch was the only one doing it but has stopped doing the overlays for awhile.

his website is:
http://www.carbonfiberparts.net/

click on customer gallery to see his work or search for my name (7racer) in the rx7forum for pics of my interior.

Someone else in the interior/exterior subforum posted in mark's original thread and stated he could do the same overlay. The only thing is he hasn't yet posted any pictures of his work.

good luck!

Those parts are actually Mazdaspeed parts. The shift ****, the handbrake, the dash panel, and switch panel. You can get 'em from here: http://www.japanparts.com/shop/shop....ior+%2d+others but I've never dealt w/ them personally, plus their prices are a lil high. I'd hit up Chuck @ RE, and have him get the parts for ya. Prob is, some parts on that website are now discontinued...

all the Mazdaspeed cf replacements (not overlays) are for JDM cars (re: RHD). I have yet to find replacement parts for the USDM FD's, and I have been searching for years. Mark made em a while back, but he has moved on. He made an exellent product too

I would rather doubt that even the Mazdaspeed versions were anything more than an overlay. Molding CF into those complex shapes on the back would be god awfully expensive. They were/are probably basically what Mark K. was producing... a thin layer of CF on top of a molded plasic piece.

There's really nothing wrong with that... its just for looks anyway. It's not like you'd be saving any weight over the molder plastic parts, and they aren't load brearing.

The only thing you DON'T want IMO are those stick-on decal kits that don't even cover the whole part...

Agreed. Not trying to put anyone out of place if they have one, but it looks odd when you are taking in the sight of the carbon, only to see it lump off, and the plastic is exposed for about a half inch.

Mark at least covered up all the plastic (as much as humanly possible)

Hey, I never promoted buying from 'em lol. Just wanted to show you that the parts were indeed Mazdaspeed (the ones in that pic). I would def. use something like that as a parts list, then hit up Chuck and have him order the parts for your.
