FRP/Carbon Fiber parts available for FC
Hello,
I am new to this forum but not to composite materials. I run a website selling Miata FRP/CF parts (carbonmiata.com) for around a year now and I am trying to go on with the other late 80s-2000s Mazda models. CarbonMiata's reputation is becoming bigger and bigger now so I hope I can serve the RX-7 community the same way by offering quality parts at an affordable price. Long story short, I want to develop parts for FC but also sell the existing parts that the workshop I am working with has already available. Here is the list for FC: RX7 FC NI Hood RX7 FC Dmax Hood RX7 FC Door Sills RX7 FC Sexy Style Front Bumper RX7 FC Sexy Style Rear Bumper Rx7 FC Sexy Style Side Skirt RX7 FC3S Sunroof Panel RX7 FC3S OEM Headlight Covers RX7 FC3S Vented Headlight Covers RX7 FC3S Triangle All those parts are available in FRP/CF/CK. I would be happy if you could first tell me which part you would like to see in a GB. One problem is that unfortunately I don't own a RX-7 here because they are nearly impossible to find. I only saw 2 in the 8 years I spent in China. I know that people like pictures of products fitted on the car before they commit to anything so if somebody here, with a FC of course, could be my beta tester. This person should be able to take some nice pictures to show the community the quality of the parts and in return would get a - very - good discount. :nod: Thanks to contact me on the forum or by email: info@carbonRX7.com Cheers, Marc P.S: I will make the same post for FD parts :blush: |
Odula style side skirt
|
always nice to see someone new making parts for our cars!
i would like to see a roof spoiler similar to the one you make for the miata hardtop, maybe a little less aggressive. maybe also a duckbill type spoiler for the back. i had a cf turbo II hood scoop at one point (just the scoop surround, not a whole cf hood), but the mounting studs were tiny and weak and it flew off on a back road and broke. the company i bought it from had horrible customer service so i never even attempted to get another one. interior parts are always nice, i have a triple gauge pod in my subaru that mounts where the factory clock goes, something like this would be near the top of my list to buy for my rx7 the same previously mentioned company has other interesting CF parts such as a blank cf center console replacement that you can cut out your own accessory holes for (gauges, HVAC if you have it, stereo etc), but along with their customer service they have pretty inflated prices. i looked at your carbonmiata website and i like what i see. will you have a carbonrx7 website in the near future? -sean |

I want a rear wing that doesn't cost 900 dollars!
Oh,and as the guy /\ up there said..a triple gauge pod for the Idiot light location. maybe one for the Radio location too? |
I second the idiot light location gauge pods, they would be amazing.
|
OK guys I am hearing you. Please allow some time for me to prepare pictures of the parts fitted and show them here. I will try to build a reputation on this forum for CF and FRP parts. All I need is some time to make it work.
Thanks for the patience. Marc |
Can't wait to see some of these pics. Sounds like some good stuff.
|
Let's see some parts progress, please.
|
Dude, it's barely been 2 weeks since he asked for opinions, what do you expect him to be able to show you?
-sean |
Yeah actually I am now in contact with a FC owner to get parts and start shooting pictures of them fitted.
Please be patient a little more. Thanks! :) Marc |
How about a center console blank that's not $400 like some other competitors?
|
I can definitely do one. I would just need an OEM sample and I can start those also. I work very closely with one of the best workshop so it would not be a problem. The only thing is to put my hands on samples as those cars are non existant here!
Let me know if you can be of any help! :) Marc |
things I most want in CF , are Center con blanks ( and shifter surround) Moon roof panel , and door mirrors. I know most of these parts have been made by other manufacturers, but hard to get hands on in the states, at least I have had a hard time finding these parts for less than a small fortune. when mostly flat non structural parts start costing more than 1k its way too rich for my blood.
|
I think having the availabilit to get a factory style hood scoop insert for the t2 that doesnt cost an arm and a leg. I have been trying to find a fiberglass one or even carbon without spending $200 lol let me know
|
OK thanks for all the suggestions. As said before, unfortunately, I can't do much without samples. If some people are ready to ship me some parts, I can replicate them and send back a CF version for free. :)

Hey,
So I decided to post pictures of the items. Those are not very appealing and I am sorry for this but soon I should get some proper pictures.

I'm loving that hood, but concerned about shipping costs from Shainghai.
That said, I'd like to see replacement A pillars with drivers side incorporating 2-3 gauge pods. They're made for 1st Gen and 3rd Gens, but have never to my knowledge been made for 2nd Gens. Please, for both Verts (my case) as well as coups. And should be a companion passenger side replacement so it doesn't look mismatch funny. |
For the Odula side skirts, I can definitely make them but I need more people interested! If you can find 5 persons, I will do it! :)

Mmm that sounds even better!:icon_tup:
just noticed that you are in shanghai though, so the shipping would still suck right? I would go so far as to accept payment of a bunch of them to save shipping and send them out to others in the states. |
Group Buy?
^^^
Rob XX 7, US East Coast Distributor? You buy three, I buy one and Rotary #10 buys one and we have a group buy. Carbon XX, how about pricing/delivery/shipping. While your at it, how about pricing/delivery/shipping for that hood? |
I may be interested in the hood if it doesnt cost an arm and a leg to get it shipped. Shineauto is the only other I would consider.

While your at it, how about pricing/delivery/shipping for that hood? But if it meant saving a buck i would buy 3 sets im sure others would buy them once they were easily available and i would get my money back on them |
So basically, sending one hood or 3 hoods together by DHL doesn't change anything as they count by the weight.
The solution would be to ship those by sea freight to a port in USA (you should tell me the most convenient one for you guys) and pick them up from there. That would be much cheaper. For the prices, which design are you interested in? There are 2: 1. RX7 FC NI Hood http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/365046SDC10217.jpg 2. RX7 FC Dmax Hood http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/807615SDC17100.jpg |
im for skirt, not hood
|
I'm in for Odula style skirts.
Curious about cost for NI style hood. |
im also in for the skirt
|
Ill make up the difference, im sure once they are stateside they wont last a day before someone wants them
|
skirts!
|
I just bought the set from RHDjapan and it was 750 USD shipped to me!!! :(
They said they should be there in around 3 weeks so let's wait and see what happens! Pricing coming as soon as I have the samples in hand but I can tell you they will be much cheaper!!! |

I won't ask some deposits as everybody knows it's a pain in the ass and at the end, GB never happen so I will take the risk and hopefully they will be popular enough to get the investment back! :nod: |
The shipping kills it, you have my word on the 5 sets. I wss going to get the flat style but these are much nicer.
|
Yeah the shipping was 150 USD from Japan. It's a lot!
I estimate the shipping for a set to be around 60 to 70 USD from my warehouse to anywhere in the world. |
:nod: :nod: :nod:
|
I'd like to get some door sills!
|
Which reminds me ill most likely take a set of door sills when the skirts get shipped, should fit in the same box

+3 On the triple gauge pod in the idiot light location... There has been one person that made a run of them, and he no longer makes them anymore.. He had the pod angled towards the driver, and held down by a spring underneath. Would be amazing if you made this, especially in cf.
