I think this ticks the rare box. Pitcrew Racing Carbon Cowl for NA Roadster.

D-Technique M2-1001 front bumper. Believed to be 1 of 1 in the USA, 1 of 2 in North America. Different than the GHO replica in that it uses the OEM upper urethane bumper portion and the fiberglass lower portion bolts on. As such, it is the most accurate replica of the original M2-1001 bumpers.




Cibie Visage III fog lamps brand new in box. The M2-1001 originally used Cibie Visage II fog lamps, which take the odd H2 halogen bulb that is getting harder to come by. The Visage III are identical in every way but use the much more common H3 halogen bulb, which is also easier to retrofit to HID/LED if so desired. These are very similar to Cibie Tangos, which were available in both fog and spot light (driving) lens configurations and both black and chrome housings. I think the only difference between the Tango and Visage is probably marketing (Japanese vs. Europe) and certification (JIS vs. "E" mark).



Custom toggle switch panel with 1DIN radio cutout. It was made in Japan sometime in the late 1990s or early 2000s and uses the same toggle switches as the Nielex retro hazard/popup switches and the same bulb covers for the switch position indicator lights as the KG Works independent look gauge clusters. I don't know who made it but I assume it is a custom one-off piece made by an enthusiast and was not an official product made by either Nielex or KG Works. But who knows?

I think I have a D-technique catalog somewhere that Rod from TetsuyaGarage sent me back in 2005ish?

Have not forgot you either with the panel, just consumed with Miatapalooza lately

I've had my share of Nielex, KG works, RS Aizawa, Mazdaspeed, etc. bits, but I've gotten away from the JDM and rare stuff because its so damn pricey, but I can appreciate it, I just get what I like. The rarest bit of parts I've ever gotten my hands on are the Motorola Cup Cams, and they freaking rock!

These days I focus more on figuring out what I can remove without sacrificing reliability or comfort..

Would bomex mirrors be considered rare?
