Junk yards and the FS section here are your best bets for interior stuff. My last MX-3 had been painted silver inside...poorly and I managed to replace everything out of my local yard for about $60. It took a little while though.

Good luck with your build.
94' RS/GS/MS/CF Monster Turbo...coming soon.
93' GS SE, the Black Beast, the former love of my life...soon to be gutted and crushed.
94' GS, black on black, now in several small pieces...and one large crushed piece.
2007 Mazda3 GT Sport --- super fun
2004 Honda RC51 --- Lost forever to some theavin' bastard

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

See but the main issue is most of the junk yards don't have a Mx-3, i was lucky enough to find a gauge cluster for it. Also I took apart my KLZE but I didn't have my camera while we were doing it but ill post pictures of it afterwards. Bringing it to get hot tanked and all that good stuff, overbored etc. Plus the guy I bought it off of said it had a bent valve and that it didn't hit the piston, but sure enough once we opened it, it did, rods are good but pistons are done for (good thing im getting new ones). Also just got a fidanza short shifter and going to be getting new bushings for it from clubprotege. I'll show pictures of the messed up pistons when I get back over to the garage its in.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to take the oxygen/fade out of the CB hood please let me know and on how to fix up the alignment on the front bumper. Probably will just end up bringing it to a shop though.
