Anyone know prices or were to get carbon fibre interior trim from as iv seen a couple now that have the dial facia centre console and panel by the handbrake all in cf and it looks mint, have mine silver atm but would prefer carbon :D
cheers dave
a) you can buy sticker kits that vary in quality off ebay etc
b) buy a decently done complete set for a couple of hundred notes off crescent.co.jp
or you could do a real carbon overlay.

Scroll down. Watch in awe as your wallet begins to smoulder. :D
I have the mazdaspeed set, they aren\'t real carbon but the fit and finish is superb OEM quality.
Not Cheap mind.
They do the drivers door trim too.
Get from crescent :D
how much were the mazspeed as i wasnt expectin them to be cheap but £200 a pannel was a bit of a shock lol but thanks to everyone for the links etc will keep for future ref
That\'s the joy of Carbon Fibre tax. Maybe it\'s priced like that so people are encouraged to reduce their carbon footprints...
Here\'s an alternative DIY method, if you got the time and skill:

The Mazdaspeed pannel kit, consisting of centre console, stereo surround, clock surround and drivers door bit comes in at just under £900. Thats if you dont get done for customs too.
Mazdaspeed have discontinued this line but there maybe a few old stock kicking around somewhere.
Real carbon centre console on ebay: CLICK (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Goki-Carbon-OEM-Radio-Surround-for-Mazda-RX-7-FD3S_W0QQitemZ290234956562QQihZ019QQcategoryZ72213QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247) . Not covers but full replacement part. Not sure what the quality would be like but looks ok in pics.
I\'m loving the idea of the DIY approach, especially as I can get uncured carbon offcuts from work. Only thing is we use mostly prepreg with the resin already inpregnated. Still the approach he\'s using is only cosmetic anyway so I doubt the excess resin would make much difference.
Might have to do a trial run on something and see how it goes ;)
a place called Mazdanetwork.com will be doing carbon interor and exterior parts . I know they are new starting out and that most things are in building .. so keep an eye on the site .
I have started doing this the cheap way with sticky back carbon film off ebay looks ok no to many bubbles all in should cost around £20 to do the job and a lot of time.
I used that stuff on my old, ahem, Corsa interior. One of the first things I did, doesn\'t look too bad if you spend plenty of time on it, but no subsitute for the real thing.

yeh i think il just get them resprayed silver again until i can save the erm £969.38 and thats just dash and centre console pieces, would be nice to have the full works of carbon in the rex but will always chose power over cosmetic upgrades i think thanks for all the reply keep em comin if anyone has anymore to add :-D
dave
you can spray them too look like cf. look on youtube shows how to do it.
how can you spray on cf ? if you got alink would be very interested to see how you can get the weave .
A guy called Maz13b can get just about anything made in Carbon Fibre!! Its a right result as the only places i\'ve seen to get this stuff for our cars is in Japan :(
He wont be allowed to supply it or talk about it on here but you should be able to get hold of him over on FDUK :cheers

I cant find the video now but basicaly base coat black than lay gauze over the item and spray silver.
The other way was even stranger which i guess is the way mazdaspeed did it. The guy sprays the panel first than drops it in a tank of fluid.
