The clips on the meter hood (the ones that screw on and pop into the dash) are considered part of the hood from Mazda from what I can tell, it's all one piece to them.
The clips for the shifter panel may be available from clipsandfasteners.com, they have tons of these clips. You can probably find ones that work just as well or an exact match.
Does the coke can sized arm rest cup holder still allow you to put coins or other things in the back half of the area?
Yes, the cup holder just floats or presses into the top portion of the opening. if you had some coins and stuff floating around down there it shouldn't interfere with the function of the cup holder.
Other than the map lid, which I’ve already created. The only door plastic I have planned is the pocket itself.
the rest of the plastics could be done, but would be incredibly time consuming and would require quite the development budget. I just don’t see the market supporting my time to do so.
we are talking like 800$ in developmental costs per side. If people wanted to come together to make that happen, it would still be some months for me to get to a point where I could actually tackle it
thanks for asking though
Is it ok if we ask others if they are interested in the other door plastics?
If there is enough interest. I might be interested in investing in the development cost. I'm ok with waiting a few months for you to start.

I don’t mind if you want to ask and see if there’s interest, there are actually a few people on a few projects trying to get interest in certain things. That being said the burden of development costs would lie on those people, but again these parts wouldn’t be created without someone initiating the process to begin with. So yeah, if you wanted to see if there was interest I would definitely not be opposed to taking it on.
LS to FD throttle Body Adapter. This is more so for my personal setup, but if manufactuting costs are reasonable I will offer it for sale. This allows the LS TB to be flipped to the firewall, meaning a really clean setup!
I printed one solid ABS and I’m using it for testing and mock up of the intercooler piping. This is my personal setup, has a long ways to go but I’m aiming for a really simple and clean setup, and going DBW means eliminating a lot of extra stuff!
I like the orientation you went for. The weird stepper ***** on most LS setups is one of the reasons why I went with a Bosch 82mm throttle body for my setup.
Added the AIM MXP and AEM CD5 to my database of parts for a couple dashes coming up. Here is a good representation of some of my CAD work from the last year. These parts I often get dimensions from parts in hand or offline and then re create them for testing and fitment in CAD.
Looking for interest in this Billet FD/REW to GM throttle body adapter. Mainly this setup will allow you to run DBW with a capable ECU. It's essentially what FFE offered (out of stock for some time) but it flips the large motor of the GM TB towards the Firewall. Meaning a cleaner looking setup. I have some production quotes but realistically i'm looking for at least 9 other people to go in on the adapter for roughly 140$ each. Selfishly this is for my own personal project, but why not share the fun lol
Drake, by flipping the GM throttle body orientation, I noticed what appears to be a very tight fit of the motor up against the firewall. Specifically, the hard lines there at the firewall would seem to get in the way. (??)
I may be the only one interested in this, and I'm sure there'd be a massive amount of R&D. But for those who have removed the Passenger airbag, how about like a second glove box that could insert into the spot, or at least just a cover that can pop on to cover the hole left by the airbag.
I'll be ordering the pass vent cover and center vent 2 gauge pod soon. Great stuff!!
Another thought is a plastic license plate mount for the front bumper with a rubber back. Almost all of the aftermarket front bumpers are sloped the same way in the middle and some of us are stuck in places that require a front plate. It would look better than just a metal frame and it could be painted to match by the buyer. This way it looks like a 99 spec bumper on public roads but you can take it off when you want to. Just a brainstorm thought.
Another one is rear strut tower covers that are designed to fit around aftermarket strut braces and possibly popular strut mounted roll bars.
Bro that's some excellent work - just found on IG and really interested in following your progress!
BTW - I'm in the early stages of planning on how to bring my FD interior up to date and had the same thought of using the blank switches for USB/other such ports. Look forward to seeing your solution and will definitely be after some parts from you
