I belive re-amemiya out of japan sells these or similar directly on their website.

http://www.re-amemiya.co.jp/

I ordered them out of rx-7 magazine through our california distributor aeryodyne industries (use both emails info@aerodyne.net ; aeroinfo@pacbell.net)

As you can tell, they look OEM which is what I want

Whatever you do, don't just buy the Autometer ones. They do not fit at all!!! Man, I love those RE ones!!

$300/ea, but they're probably cheaper now that the yen is a bit weaker.

I've been looking for an A pillar cup holder for my 89 TII i just bought as well and can't find anything really eye catching. I don't like the mickey mouse look, and, of course this is just my opinion, but the other one looks sort of like the dash has a tumor growing out of the side of it. can't someone just make and A pillar one?

BTW, Clayton, how are the seat covers going? If that company does as good of a job as they sound, that's going to be a great hook up for alot of people whose side bolsters are shot from getting in and out. My 89 and 91 both need it. Thanks for searching and finding it for people.

Tim,

One of the 3rd gen owners has one on order, so were waiting on his eval. 2 other people are going to look at them at their miami shop.

Supposively they don't make them, so were not sure on who the supplier is. Their quality is not in question, just delivery via mail.

VMB,

yeah I've been thinking of having some copies made from the local fiberglass shop, that's partially why I bought them.
