Yes, thanks for clearing up, I was also going to post that. Mazda never changed the position of the shifter/ebrake between LHD and RHD. All they changed was the shape of the panel and position of the ash tray.

Wrapped CF interior means you have your OEM pieces wrapped with CF and that requires you to send your interior pieces to certain shops for such service.

Our CF interior pieces are made from custom molds meaning they are true CF pieces not just overlay or wrapped pieces. Our CF interior pieces will have superior integrity over those wrapped pieces because the wrapped OEM pieces still depend on the plastic core for strength. Also, our CF interiors are direct bolt on replacements for your OEM interior pieces since we are using all new interior pieces during our molding process so the fitment can be as good as it gets. Most wet CF products you see today would be CFRP due to the cost factor. If you want 100% CF interior pieces, we can certainly do that custom for you but the price will be about 2-3 times more.

The factory is working on the second mold now. Please understand that the shifter panel piece alone requires some time to produce due to the modification involved and the two new molds that needs to be produced again. We are trying our best to have the factory stay on top of this project and will provide update promptly once they are done. Thank you for the understanding and patience!

We will get some underside pics posted once we get the new LHD sample units in. The RHD version panels were already sent off to our UK distributor for test fitting on RHD cars.

Due to the mistake of making the RHD parts, we experienced some delay so hopefully the factory can finish the new shifter panel molds by this week then we should be able to present the test fitting result on all pieces within the next couple weeks. Again, sorry about the delay!

wow I guess you must be interpreting my messages wrong. Here is what I meant by molding it with all new pieces. We need molds to produce all of our true CF pieces. So instead of using old/used OEM pieces to create our molds, we bought brand new OEM pieces directly from Mazda to base our molds off of. Is this explanation better?

I certainly don't mind if we still have them here. They have been sent out to our UK distributor for test fitting. But don't worry, more pics will be coming soon once we get the LHD versions in.

Only the upperside pics were taken and posted here in an earlier post on the first day we got the pieces in from the factory. Then we realized they were the wrong version so we contacted our UK distributor and sent out the pieces for test fitting on RHD cars.

And we gotta stop spamming this thread for these repeated questions or answers, if you have more questions, you can either email us or pm me.

if you need to test fit the rhd panels i can always volunteer

If you are missing any rhd parts let me know( i said this on an earlier post too)

Do you have a price for a full kit for the rhd?

24/seven. okay, this is my last answer and we seriously gotta stop spamming this thread

thank you for telling me that I have made a slight mistake by forgetting to take a picture of the underside of a product which was produced by mistake. The RHD version were never intended to be produced or offered from the beginning of this project due to the lack of interest. But then since this was already done, we thought that we might as well try to finish the RHD kit if we can get all the pieces together.

R-R-Rx7, not a solid pricing yet since we do not yet have all the pieces nor the molds ready. We will definitely let you know if we need help finding some RHD pieces. Thank you very much for your kind offer and support!

Thats exactly what he said if you took a little bit more time to read and not jump straight to the message box. He also stated however, full carbon pieces are a possibility in the future at a greatly increased cost, though at this time they are not a priority.
