Oh, damn, i just went to the site where they can make them, and apparently he closing it down temporarily. You could check with him to see if he'll do it for you, but i'm pretty sure someone else around will chime in with someone they know that can do this for ya.

How much does something like this cost? If it's less than $400 i might be interested.

EDIT: Actually now that i look at the quality of the kit, i don't think i'd be able to afford it not that that's a bad thing.

I wish I knew he still did the carbon fibering. this thread is like 2 years old. . . . .lol. I just ordered the Mazdaspeed lip like 2 weeks ago, and im told there's roughly a 2 month hold on it. I'll post pix when i get it in and mount it.

On a side note, since Mark doesnt do it anymore due to his full time job, are there any other sources that do something even close to the work Mark does? I really don't want the cheesey overlay stickers that don't even go to the edges.

YUP!!

he also, I think, has those nice CF side sills with the RX_7 logo molded into it. I asked Mark if he could do it and said he couldn't, so at least he is able to offer something different...

Also, I think there was a thread that attila CF a R1 lip....

eh, screw that. My stock R1 lip got a few scratches on it once and I about went ape-****. If it were CF I would've been on the ground crying.

PS - 7racer, car looks beautiful!!! Where did you get it painted? It looks pretty good. I'm going to need to get my FD's paint refreshed soon(Staying VR). Hopefully with the addition of a '99 bumper too.

the paint is pretty good but could be better...the hood however has too many "fish eyes".

I am sending it back to the body shop for a re-do...

the body shop has been very accomodating in not harrassing me for bringing the car back and want to fix the problem. Apparently they had a couple bad workers.

The price is reasonable but the shop small. I think if I had to do it again there is a Painter near me that does good work (or so I am told). However, since they are so good they act kinda snooty!!

The place I got it done was R&H paint and body....if your up my way feel free to drop me a line and take a look at the paint...or call the body shop if your interested. I'll pm you the contact info..

Thanks 7racer, I'll keep that in mind. Will your car be at HIN this weekend? I'm gonna drive down to check that out since I've never been to HIN before.
