Question any feedback on this fd carbon fiber interior?

hello guys & gals,

i have not been on here since 2014, but i still own both my fd's.
tried doing a quick search on the forum to see if anyone here had any reviews on euroboutique.
i also own a 95 supra and this vendor recently joined supraforums and start building cf dash pieces for mkiv's that look really nice.
they said they have built them for the rx7 and so i thought id come here to see what feedback you guys might have on their products.

here is a pic they posted...

[QUOTE]Last one, this was a RX7 that had a tan color interior and all the OEM plastic trims were loose/cracked, this is the final result, we tabbed a custom CF gauge pod with magnetic backing to run wiring cleanly:[/QUOTE]

Well, if you're just looking for feedback on the looks of the thing, I think that's pretty subjective as exposed carbon fiber can be a divisive look. But while it isn't my style, those pieces do look nice in the photos. I also like how they even went so far as to do the ashtray. Plus, any alternative to the crappy Mazda plastics is a serious win.
The steering wheel looks great, but I've always found the stock size to be a bit too big. If they had some sort of smaller diameter option, that'd be sweet.
Not that big a fan of the center gauge cluster, just doesn't seem to flow well with the rest of the dash. Big gap between the base and where the top of the dash curves downwards.
I know nothing about the company itself, but a google search of "euroboutique" seems to show they've got at least a few unsatisfied customers (if you trust those reviews).

But yeah, if the quality is there and you like the look, then take the plunge and tell us about it!

Thanks for the response. As far as the plastics on the FD go, you're right they are horrible. What they offer to do is to recover them in real carbon fiber. Thus repairing the plastics and making it look pretty good from what I can tell.

On the gauge pod, that is an aftermarket one that the customer bought and had refinished. As far as the fitment it's not on this company who finishes stuff. Agree the ashtray looks pretty good too.

^ also like those door panels.

I have matte carbon interior pieces being shipped from Carbon Miata right now, I will get pics up once installed. I wanted matte to avoid glare, especially on the instrument cluster hood.

If you want to keep the airbag, I think these wheels look good: https://guardiandesigns.eu/collectio...eels-1999-2005
