DIN Radio Replacement
Scosche Products Inc. is one of the largest manufactures of aftermarket dash conversion kits. The salesperson who answered the phone told me there are currently no plans to create a conversion kit for the RX-8. It looks to me like the CD player is DIN sized with a lot of plastic around it.
It stands to reason there might be a Japanese parts maker that has this kit. Getting a custom face done is going to cost a lot of money. Does anyone out there know if such a product exists?
Looking at the work RotaryGod is doing gave me the idea to make a mold out of the existing faceplate and work something up in fiberglass. Once the faceplate looks good I could take it down to a local paint and body shop to get sanded and painted.

The shape of the thing is only one aspect. The integrated electronics is another.
My dream ... a carbon fibre replacement for the entire centre section, from the windscreen to the gearshift, then back all the way, including the tunnel, to the rear seats ... to much?
