Where can I get some metal scuff plates for my FD? I remember reading about a group buy back in the day for some black anodized plates with a silver stock looking RX-7 logo. I also wouldn't mind buying a set of stainless plates; however, I'm trying to avoid the gold lettering. Please help me out.

thanks, Rob

 

who cares about metal when you can get these babies!!!!!

Spoolin'- tried the link... great looking product, but IO couldn't get to a buy page. Any more links?
Wanklin- Try a dealer, if they're out, I might sell you mine, stil have plactic protectant over them, if I buy the cf ones. Think they were $80 each from dealer, special order.

how durable are the new satin finish aluminum plates at mazdaformance? I have read that the old-school aluminum ones used to scratch really easily.

I like the CF ones but the quality is questionable. There seems to be a gap where they should be seated and the edges look kind of rough. If that was just a prototype and the finished product resolves those issues I may go CF.

 

Carbon is soo overplayed imo. I have the metal ones and think they look very nice. The do scratch if you're not careful, but still look way better than the shitty stock plastic.

 

Thanks for the input silver tt

 

got any pics of your car?

 

i totally agree with silver93tt, and the carbon fiber isnt as eye catching and shiny as the silver scuff plates. and really the gold on the scuff plates isnt that noticable, and shine up really well

 

I prefer the silver ones too but the price is just too damn outrageous every place I have looked.

 

so what exactly is the satin finish? is it like a plastic coating, paint or what?

 

yea thats what i am wondering to. i think they are just the plastic ones.

 

how much are the sliver scuff plates these days?

i remember those were going for around $150 a couple of months ago.

 

Do you mean these? http://www.adornedmerchandise.com/Ma...Threshold9.jpg

I was selling these on eBay last year and early this year.

 

mike, how much?

 

yeah those are the ones. Let me know if you can sell them cheaper than 130 dollars.

Hard to beat the price from MazdaFormance. Sometimes their shipping is a little high but the price is right...

 

They are aluminum with some kind of clear coat. Not sure if it is paint or plastic coated...

 

Pettit's got em. They're not on their webpage, but just call em up.

i think it's just polished aluminum... i've heard of some people actually applying some kind of clear coat to them though.
