ok, i don't know what they are called so searching for them is not working, i was wondering if one of you know what its called or where I can buy some. my passenger side one is all scratched up, thanks passengers, while mine is perfect, hopefully I can buy just one and not have to buy both. name of part or place to purchase will be great

 

Ask Paul on the Mazmart forum.

 

If you find the price, pls post it....mine is only a week old but thinking about the furture.

 

I am taking mine to a store that does vinyl work and they are going to wrap mine in a black tape that will match the piano black finish on the radio and door handle panels. I just have to take them off and drop them off at the store. I'll post pics as soon as it is done.

 

I am on the same boat Kromix. I want to buy both, passanger and driver side.

 

Tigster, please keep us posted on it, and where in florida do you live because I am in florida too maybe the place is close for me to go also...who knows, maybe a group (2) discount?

 

what's that lil pocket thingy on ur shift ****? haha looks funny *in a good way* curious what it is...

 

Its a Stick shift condom...Trojan special orders them!

Sorry...151 talking

 

Kromix--are you from GA? I was up at Bahama Breeze (North Point area) and noticed 2 8s in the parking lot next to Bahama Breeze. I parked my nordic green near ya'll. I looked in the silver/titanium one (cant remember) and saw an interior like yours (the shift condom and leather protectant all over the place). This is just kinda weird!

No im in miami florida, that pic is not of my car i dunno what that thingy is.... I just found the pic and used it............

 

LoL :p

 

they come in piano black on the shinka, i wonder if we can order em i wouldnt mind replacing em with piano black

 

that was probably me, since the picture he is using is mine. was the titanium way away from bahama breeze, in the empty lot next door. cause if it was, it was me.

see attached photo below. does that constitute copyright enfringement! :D

 

i've seen the part you are looking for a few times and i'm not sure what it's called but if you would like to replace them with a carbon fiber finish check out http://www.finishlineperformance.com...&preadd=action
cost like $400 bucks though

 

$400 dollars? holy **** thats expensive do I get HP gains from it??? lol

How about a cheaper set, maybe i can get some1 to upholster it with a dark material any1 know if that will work??

Anyone know the part number for the OEM part for the Rx8 and for the Shinka Rx8 so I can see how much the dealership is charging for it??


P.S oh thanks for letting me borrow your car for the pic, ill put your name in the credits at the end of this thread ;P

 

no worries, i just saw that picture, and thought, i recognize that, since i had the **** cover made custom.

good luck finsing a replacement. have you tried calling the parts monkeys at your local dealer?

 

lol i did see the basic stock ones somewhere, but i think they were pretty expensive too, NOT $400 but expensive, don't remember where i saw it though sorry.

 

So you gotta tell us what the stick shift condom is for now

 

How about just repainting it?
Or better yet,
Buy some carbon fiber vinyl and applying it over the scratched part? It would probably cost less then 20 bucks.

 

I have a team voodoo aluminum shift ****, and when it is hot outside, the **** will sautee your palm, it makes it so that you can still drive. Gotta keep the BLING. :p

 

Remove the front and rear console units and have them professionally painted gloss black (or whaterver) with a couple of coats of clearcoat. I'm planning on doing that myself in the near future. It's a bit strange that they were not originally painted to match the piano black dash units.

If I remember correctly, there is a DIY that includes instructions on how to remove these units.

 

the centre console is pretty easy to remove. i have attached the relevant pages from the shop manual.

I contacted finishlineperformance (www.finishlineperformance.com). here is what Tommy responded:

$121 is the console frame between the seats

My only doubt is if $121 is just one or the pair... But now we know they have them.

 

How do i paint it myself, I don't mind trying.....

Sand down, primer, sand down, primer, paint paint clearcoat clearcoat dry install

that pattern should work right???

Question is any1 know what paint/clearcoat to use to make it look like the piano back already in our car.....

 

Not a problem if you know what you're doing. Remember, this is plastic you are painting so make sure the paint you use is compatible and make sure you prep the surface properly. Don't ask me what "properly" means. I'm no paint expert, but I know that surface preparation is the key to a good paint job.

Personally, I would tend to let the experts do the painting. Shouldn't cost much if you remove the parts and all they have to do is prep and paint them, and give them back to you for installation.
