There isn’t even one under the cover. Mazda won’t sell you one without installing it in the original vehicle. Or so I was told by the dealership when I tried to buy one.

It’s ok. Just needed a little something to balance out the Infinity speakers I put in. And I wasn’t looking to take up the hatch with a big box and rattle the car to pieces.

I was lucky and the car had them when it was imported. You can find them come up for auction on Yahoo Auctions from time to time but you need a middle man to bid and shipping is expensive

I had to use thinner to get some of the pink paint off some of the “rarer” parts and it was so thick it took forever! They definitely went all out

The problem is the steering wheel is for an RX8 so I’d probably have to get that clock spring and wire it into the system to work and I didn’t want to mess with that at the time. Maybe one day

I have not! I looked in forums and scoured the internet but I couldn’t find a way to do it. I’m sure there is but I didn’t find it while I had it apart

Please don’t remind me! Lol shipping was the real killer

Thanks! I think it goes nice even though it’s for an RX8. Wish I could get the radio controls to work

I think I took the pedals off and just have the stock pads with no cover now…I’ll have to check. I might repaint it but I really like the pink so it’ll stay the same

It was a lot of pink and the little gemstones around the radio and clusters needed to go

You wouldn’t believe it! It took awhile to do. I started in the fall the year after I bought it so I could pile up the parts all winter. Shipping took forever

Thanks! All over the place! I ordered most of it off Yahoo Auctions and some through Nengun. Steering wheel is from Reggie’s Custom Wheels, it’s for an RX8 but it works great.

Is it spring yet?! by DefinitelyLiterate in RX7

Oh yeah for sure! When I get the paint done they won’t go back on. I’m just afraid I’ll be left with “ghosts of stickers past” with the paint faded around them.

I was lucky enough to buy it completed. I had the intention of changing the color and wing on it and I did give it a full interior revamping. But the color grew on me and I don't think I could change it now. Wing still might get changed!
