Question Carbon fiber overlay on exterior triangle (near sideview mirrors)?

I have the RX7Trix exterior door handle carbon fiber overlays, and I think they look MONEY (the new ones...thicker weave, nice thick clearcoat). I saw someone post about the door handle overlays they had, but they also had CF overlays on the exterior triangles near the sideview mirrors. Forget who it was, and I don't believe they ever revealed where they got it from. Anyone know where I can get those? I think they'd be a very nice touch...

Thanks

I know fibercation used to have some pics of the exterior triangle on their site, but looks like they're not there any longer, hmm.

They can wap yours if need be.

Detailed pics of new style rx7trix covers?

Wrap them? Does that triangle piece come off/separate from the door? (never bothered to look). And if it is detachable/removable, I'm curious how well it will fit again if it's wrapped, ya know?

Pics of the newer RX7Trix CF door handle overlays, as you requested

I like them wrapped versus the overlay's.

These are Mark Koch's old work including your "triangles"

The wrapped ones look great, curious how much they would go for.

his prices are on the website under carbonfiberparts.net

go to projects or gallery I think...

if that other person on the forum ever starts putting pictures up that may be the only other way of getting parts like these besides doing the work yourself.

I might be able to help you out with the triangles, when I get back from school for break.... There are one or two pictures of the interior pieces I did on my car. Should be under the new rx.

Rx7Trix site is down...for good. Anyone know about the overlays for sale, holla! I really prefer them over the wraps and have been looking since I saw them in person.

I can do the inside triangles, no problem!! You could even get them wrapped in kevlar(colored fabric). Here is one I am working on right now. It is still wet with no sanding and no clear coat in the pic. I will show finished pics later today. PM me if your interested. Should cost around thirty bucks for both +shipping, depending on what fabric you want. Here are some pics

I read the thread wrong, I thought you meant inside triangles, I can do both. I will need a core piece and I can do it, just PM me if you have any interest in any of these pieces.
