Hey Rich

Damn...that sounds like one hell of a deal. But knowing Mazda, $100 for illumination sounds just about right Let us know tho when you get it.

~Ramy

PS...nice nickname lol

 

what happens when summer rolls around and your hand gets burned from the Al sitting in the sun all day long?

other than that, theyre nice looking pieces

 

Yeah... they look like they came off a stereo system from 1975.

 

The glass always has to be half empty, doesn't it jimbo ?

I wonder how many of us yahoos from the Big List 1999 are still chillin' in the rotary (er, RX-7, hehe) game?

--Riko Sauve

 

My sincerest apologies for having good taste.

 

You gotta give it to him Rich...Jim is forever ready w/ comebacks. He never ceases to amaze me. It's simply inevitable

Oh and Rich...out of curiosity, just how many people were on the big list? (I didn't know you were on it...wow...you've been in the game for quite a while, eh?) And who else that's still here today was on it?

 

Ah, I'll bet you taste like old boot leather

 

Those might actually look good if they were black chromed....

 

would you have to get these powdercoated or can you just paint them with regular paint? Also what color would you use to get them to match a 93 interior?

 

if a post is already made why make a new one?

Ok, well would it be better to paint these or powdercoat

 

If you were going to finish something like that IMO powdercoating would be more durable. Paint, over time, would wear too much from normal use. In fact you may want to consider powerdercoated clear-coat over the the color.

This also probably belongs in the interior section.

 

Off to the interior section!

Also, I'd think anodizing them black would look pretty sharp

 

The finish is used "as is". Not saying you can't paint them, but unless yours are broken or missing, I don't see the point in getting these if you are going to paint them.

 

the reason i want these is because the a/c level control (1,2,3,4) has a scratch so light shines through, the a/c temp controls indicator is not white in normal daylight, and the a/c direction control is not big enough or something so I have a halo around it when its dark out.

 

I polished mine, just what the interior needed. Of course, I have a silver/ chrome/ titanium with black theme planned out.

 

Hey Derek, I have a perfect condition stock fan speed control **** if you want it, it's yours for the cost of postage.

 

*sigh* newbs

 

A little help from my Dremel (rotary) tool and some green metal polish got the tooling marks off. A match to the bezel rings of the gauge cluster and my custom trim ring around the touch screen.

 

^Lovin' your work! Would you be willing to do that to the ***** for me?

 

Sure, PM me for my info. I put around an hour of work into each one to give them a mirror finish. -Matt

 

I saw a set of rotary-shaped climate control ***** on a magazine. do they mass produce those or they were home-made?

 

They are made in Japan by Super Now. I have a set in my FD, got them from RHDJapan.com.
