Rear Valance ??

[rdrokit]

OK the dealer called me and told me some of the accessories I had worked out for free when I bought the car had arrived. Went down and they installed the window covers that are supposed to cut down wind noise and the rubber mats that I wanted to cover the carpet mats as rainy season here is a b**** and I wanted something I could take out and wash with a hose. While I was waiting in the customer lounge I looked at an accessories pamphlet which the salesman never showed me when I bought the car.......his loss as I bought some more "Stuff". Thought the door sill covers were nice and the pedal covers were needed as the dead pedal is only carpeted. Some pics below in case anyone wants to see them. But I have a question. Looking at the accessories pamphlet it shows a rear valance that is different than the stock one. It is hard to see in the pamphlet but it looks like it has cut outs across the bottom. It is the last photo in the middle row. Of course the dealer did not have one to look at so I am asking has anyone seen or have one of these and maybe post a pic.
Thanks

door sills, pedal covers, footwell light and little bit's like that are a rip off when purchased from the dealer/catalog.

You have to remember I am an expat living in Thailand so I do not have very many choices as to where to buy accessories. Shipping and customs from the states or Japan are outrageous. The dealer is relatively cheap as labor is so cheap in Thailand (minimum wage is $7 a DAY, not an hour). The dealer threw in as a freebie the back up sensors but told me I would have to pay for the labor. The labor was 430 baht or about $13.00.

The rear valance is part of the aero package, there's the front lip, side skirts, rear valance and mirror caps, plus rear spoiler.

I like that gas tank fill cap. I didn't see that in any of the US accessory brochures...

The aero kit can be bought separately, not necessarily as one set.
I have the rear deck spoiler for $299 (MSRP=$399) from a Mazda dealer.
Installed DIY.

I just felt the need to say something...

I hope you meant that the rubber mats are going in instead of the carpet mats and not over them.

Mats over mats are what made people paranoid about Toyotas a couple of years ago.

Not the same as the Mazda mats are contoured and can not move which was the Toyota problem.
