2008.5 decal imitation

[AutoXRacer]

I don't like the piano trim at all. Your not the only one.

I don't like it either... I prefer my gun-metal gray...

It may be possible to whip up some kind of template/stencil to align the sticker...I'll see what I can do. Mewonders how much interest there would even be for this. Could be cool to color match it to the paint you have (white, black, red, silver, blue, etc.)

I would buy it too...but not body color. I want it in red to match the seats and floor mats. Damn (scratch), would that be too much Mazdaspeed in the cabin already...?

Yah - the more I see the Piano Trim the more I don't care for it. It just sticks out way too much and looks very plastic to me. Personal Opinion of course, but I will stick with my Trim thanks.

the only part i like about the piano black is the trim that goes over the lcd display, the rest is just too much and doesnt look right. this is just a scam to sell more cars and let people think they are special for buying them. we really just need more options to get stuff of this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCGnVEf7Ydg

I'm still waiting on my local Mazda's to get the GT in. So far all I have seen are sports here. I want to see the seats in the new 2008.5 as I wished mine came with Power Seats and I want to know if they can be added to mine.

I think a nice brushed aluminum or maybe even a good carbon fibre weave would've looked nice. Maybe they could've done it as optional customer-installed parts that can snap in?

The MS3 Extreme concept had those areas actually color matched to the body IIRC.



But to get back on topic here...

Check back tomorrow for better photos and a straighter decal.

Power seats!!?? Why? (huh)
Adds more weight...makes you slower!!!

 

[dparm1984]

Just go on a diet to offset the added weight. Frankly I can't believe we don't have power seats.

Diet!!??? (huh) Not with 7% body fat... (lol2)

Who wants all those heavy motors in your seats anyways? You know you're just going to end up ripping them out to put in some sparcos, momo, or brides... (lol2)

I don't really adjust my seat all that much to validate power seats.
I set my seat once and forget about it...

Am I the only one who doesn't like the black trim?

But the decal looks good though. You should have him make a bunch and sell them. I would buy it.

No your not the only one. I don't like the black either. It looks out of place, kinda like an after market part.

No such luck. That's the lighter and air-bag light.

I like the fake aluminum glove box latch. I put a fake brushed aluminum MAZDASPEED decal on my trim piece back in Nov 07 when I baught the car. I had the car 1 week and did this before any 08.5 pictures even came out. After the 08.5 PICs came out is thought to myslef ...."Great...now everyone will think I am an 08.5 wanna be".......
