I'll see if I can dig up pics, my FD has all black plastic with tan carpet/seats, I'm looking to go black carpet/red seats some day but its not a priority right now. I would take some specific pics but I'm about 12,000 miles from my car. As far as looks go, I think the tan/black combo looks better than the tan plastic but all red or all black is what I would prefer.

I know this wasn't what OP was originally asking for, but here's my take of the mixed color scheme. Got kind of halfway through the conversion and decided I liked it this way. Having the rear of the car tan kind of goes with the color scheme of the seats.

I don't know about you guys, but I've always been more interested in improving the aspects of my interior then how much HP I got. And after seeing photos like this, it proves my point even more so. I have an all tan inside, but this combo looks really interesting.
Think about it. How much does so-and-so spend on a rebuild with a street port and new hoses and lines, injectors and this and that... now compare to getting new interior pieces and taking care of all the "little" stuff inside?
Believe you me, giving people rides in a car that I hear "I've never seen one of these before" more and more makes me think more and more about the interior quality. Of course I want my FD to be reliable, which I think after dropping $13k+ on everything under the hood and elsewhere, it is, but how about some new stuff so the doors "feel" not much different from a new car today?
Some of you care, some of you don't... but I'd like to think that besides wine (and Italians).. FD's improve with age?
Give your FD some Viagra and don't just go the distance, do it in style!

I took one of our employee's for a ride the other day in the RX-7. Considering he was 3 when the car was made, it was kind of funny. He had never ridden in anything so fast or sporty. Felt good to hear that. Generally speaking, whenever I pull into a gas station or stop at a stop light, usually someone is asking what type of car it is I'm driving and if it is new. lol

The best I have done for now is to ensure all plastic pieces get replaced with new ones if broken, chipped, etc.

MrNizzles... I couldn't agree with you more. I have long been a strong proponent of doing something about the interiors of our cars to make the interior as nice as the rest of the car. I have always thought it was somehow Ford's bean counters who were trying so hard to keep the price down and more in line with the FC's pricing who forced Mazda to cheapen the interior so much.
As David said -- thanks, David -- I redid my interior, but not to change the looks or make it a different color or make it more flashy or bling, but, to simply upgrade the interior by totally reconstructing it using only real metal, paint, wool, and leather to remanufacture the exact same interior. I am very pleased with the results. Now when I get in my car, its like getting into a new Aston Martin and way nicer than getting into any Porsche. No plastic, no nylon, no vinyl anywhere at all. (Well, nowhere except the little opening in the door where the door handle is located and I'm still planning to fix that...) If you get a minute, check out my interior album.

Well, it took a while to collect all the parts, but I finally did this and I love how it looks. I got a black headliner/visors/light, seatbelts, door panels, bins, and rear 1/4s. The seats and carpet are tan.
Now I'm looking for tan floor mats with a black RX-7 logo and black trim. Anyone know a good source? The places I've found won't embroider the RX-7 logo.
