as usual w/ older rx-7's, my interior plastic peices are broken. I am replacing mine from mazdatrix.com and was wondering if the black center console surround (around the hvac and radio) from an 89-91 will fit in my 87. The 89 piece is cheaper and looks more functional. How about the side vents for the AC on the door panels, 89 fit in my 87?

Shouldnt be a problem then, the factory radio is offest on your year, and the S% radios are centered. So a surround from a S5 will fit, its rubber by the way

on those interior pics for the guage thread, what kind of momo wheel is that. momo shift **** too? is that a short throw shifter? the guages look good.



i have an autometer guage, single a pillar mount. i'm thinking about going to the double pod a-pillar setup, adding a temp guage. i'm thinking black from rx-7.com
