I seem to think from the looks of the skirts and lip and rear skirt, I can wrap them for sure, if we are goingto make one off I need an original to make a copy. Anyone have a pic of the CC front bumper? sorry guys I am a 3rd gen owner, I need to study up on the RX-8's body and that's why I got you guys to help. Thanx for all the good input.

Yep. Carbon Fiber. I believe they also offer FRP pieces as well... but don't quote me on that one.

I got mine from www.hookupshop.com from Tom, great guy, fast service and VERY prefessional. Prices are a little steep but theyre hard to find. See my pics here:

Sorry to get off topic. Those interior pieces are very nice I'd like a CF Fuel door cover!!!

I wondering if you could make a cover for a lcd screen in the nav tray.

This is the dash tray, but would be for a smaller screen.


I want cover similar to nav unit in the IS300

sorry guys I have been real busy working on parts for the FD. I like the website for the CF stuff, they have a lot. Pretty fair prices too. I can make the battery box covers and ecu covers and all that, I just need some plugs (originals to copy) I am going to contact Omicron and meet up with him, He said he could help me with some parts for molding, after I make molds I can make them in 5 differnet colors at least and that is not including the siver kevlar Texalium. Now what I see most of is the 2 twill weave and that is mostly what I use, but there are some parts in a plain weave which is more the JDM style CF. I like the engine covers and those parts and a front spoiler lip to start with. I just need to obtain the parts first, if anyone can help please LMK. Also about the tray for the screen, remember I can practically laminate any piece. When you wrap a plastic piece and reinforce it with CF or Kevlar you get a extremely durable and strong part. All my parts are clearcoated three times for maximum show quality finish. Thanx
