They are and they do, very comfortable. If you know how to weld, you can do this mod with no real difficulty.

can I be your friend lol... Thier from the canadian dealership?
They are a Canadian only part. Call 250-385-5747, Pacific Mazda in Canada. They were around $60 for both, plus shipping. The part #'s are B32E-50-C11(R side) and B32E-50-C21(Left Side). Make sure these are for a Pro5, MPS2 suspension option to order the right ones.

Update 10 September 2005
Well I promised another big update by the end of the week, and as promised I followed through.
First thing:
P7 Dead Pedal
Well, I've had this pedal for a few months collecting dust because I didn't have the thigns to prep it for installation at my disposal. I decided to go right ahead and clearcoat it first thing.
As you can see it turned out very well. When I placed it in the car to see how it would look, however, I didn't like the fact that I could see the plastic footrest on the carpet underneath it. I came up with the idea to make rubber inserts to fit through the slots like grip pads. I traced the inner outlines, then cut a certain depth into the rubber along that outline with an exacto knife. I then cut into the side of my blocks at the same depth, so it left a raised piece I could fit through the slots, as seen below:
Now it is mounted in the car, but I forgot to take a bloody picture, so I'll take one tomorrow of it.
Second thing:
New RIMS!
They are 17 x 7 RacingHart MSP Rims on 215/45R17 BF G. Scorchers.
I love the rims, I'm not a big fan of the tires, but they came with them. They are far to loud on the road compared to many others I have ridden on. I also put two locking lugs on each rim (different pattern for each) so that no one can do the "take off the other for lugs, twist the rim off and snap the entire lug off" trick.
The rims track much straighter out of turns then my stock rims, and the added size corners very well.
I also took it out on the highway, and though louder, I am ballanced much better and I can hit high speeds without even feeling it.
comments?

lookin good man. I've always liked the way the MSP rims looked on P5's...but for some reason not a big fan of them on the MSP's...lol. I like how creative you are(ie making own s***)...shows you actually care about what happens to her, instead of just throwing some cash at a installer. Don't get me wrong theres nothing wrong with that, but it's a bit more personal when you do it yourself.
