    ok, so it seems the door panels and hvac controll knobs are in high demand. I'll start putting together the GB for those next. Thanks for the feedback!

    Jux: i have a sample laying around somewhere. I'll dig it up for you. For reference, it is slightly darker than the LE red. I also have a red that matches the LE 90%. If you held the two up together in the right light, you can see a slight variation.

    You wanted HVAC knobs, i give you....one knob..as a sample.
    The idea for this is that you will be getting 3 knobs (pictured), an aluminum panel, and hopefully if i can figure it out, the AC/fan knob as well. If i can not, then the fan/AC knob will not be included. What do you guys think?

    note: the knob is not fully inserted into the lever. im out of time to work on it today. But it will be seated much further in, like the oem knob.

    I'll start putting together the door panel samples as well some time this week.

    Wait, what? You aren't sure if you can do the A/C knob? I sure hope you find a way, as it would look mismatched otherwise. I'd make the aluminum panel an option...

    I can make them. I am slightly concerned about the differences between the 1.6 and 1.8 models. I just sold my 1.8 car so i dont have anything to compare to the 1.6. ill see if i can get one of the local guys to come by and let me take a look. Thats why its tentative at the moment. But yes, i agree, it would look very off and so ill be trying my best to make sure that the set is complete.

    I've been digging what you did with the winkers for a while now... I'll like be purchasing them if they are ever in a group buy!
    2012: Purchased Miata, Laid off 3 days later. 4th place overall (default!), NWOR SCCA (RTR)
    2013: Budget RTR build, massive increase in participation, 3rd place overall, NWOR SCCA (RTR)
    2014: Suspension and more active competition in STS. 3rd place overall, NWOR SCCA
    2015: Time for some "form" and vintage styling (while still racing NWOR, of course).

    Welcome, those HVAC knobs are great.

    Representing! Very easy to install, once you get up the nerve to drill your fenders.

    ahhhhh my winkers! I've got a soft spot for those things as theyre one of the first limited production pieces i did. Glad to see you're liking them.

    psulja: thank you! im glad to be here. Hoping to launch more products this month after the cig light plugs are done.

    Blueiii: the version 2 side winkers are in prototype stage right now. I'm waiting on a couple of part shipments and then its ready to go. Theyre going to smaller than the version 1's but just as easy to install.

    HVAC update: Ive got the knobs turned and ready to go. Just need to prototype the fan control/ac knob and CAD up the backing plate with the icons and logos to be sent out for waterjetting.

    Door panel update: The ABS panels are cut. Waiting on the vinyl supplier to send me some samples so i can post up for you guys. Its estimated to arrive some time at the end of the week or early next week. Ill be showcasing both the door panels, and the door pulls at the same time since they kind of go together.
