Finally after finding a nice day like this Saturday and after a quick car wash, I decided to take some pics of the car. Here are some pics of the Silver trim inside.:D

I didn\'t get it in the pic, but there is a \'3\' on the top part of the dash.

That kit makes the interior look high end. I\'ve been looking for a supplier of those kits for some time. Did you buy your 3 at Gyro? I know they were offering that dash kit.

Looks aweeeeeeeeeeeeeeesome!
I\'ll have to call my dealer and find out if they have this option available.

Does anyone know what this kit may cost?

I called Airport Mazda and they quoted me a price of $530 installed. Seems kinda expensive.

Those are \"Stick on\" trims, they don\'t actually replace any of the panels. $530 way too expensive for stickers:D

Hypotyrml is right it is a stick on, so it doesn\'t replace the dash.

I originally saw this interior trim as Whitby Mazda, and was the deciding factor between getting Silver over Blue. So when I walked into Westowne Mazda I said that I would like the silver trim in the interior added into the price. I was looking through the brochure and it was about $500-$600. I don\'t know if you can order it and then put it on yourself. It does add something to the car which I have been very happy with. Let me know how it goes.

I like it a lot, except that the \'3\' at the top wouldn\'t work very well with my JDM Axela theme and one of the pieces would cover my factory MiniDisc deck!

I wonder if I could achieve a similar effect by getting a the interior pieces profesinally painted and clearcoated, say, by a bodyshop.

Hey guys, I\'ve noticed that NOPI provides custom trim panels in many different styles (pretty sure they\'re also stick on)...

check it out here (http://www.superiordash.com/NOPI/newprod.php?ordernum=0&parent_id=623&proline_id=1)

and here is a pic that indicates what parts the trim covers

Hey guys I can get these through my distributor. Tons of finishes available including the one in the pics. These kits are also available in reall wood, real CF, and real Titanium Weave.

So theres a picture of the kit I can get. My price to you guys would be around $260.00. For the real wood, CF or weave the price would be around $450.00. These are quality kits. The Chrome \"3\" is included with these kits for the middle of the radio. Any questions PM me. :)

Let me start off by sayin i am a new mazda owner and LOVING IT!!! love my car and wouldn\'t trade it for anything.....

Hey quick question for ya. I recently just bought a new mazda 3 sport gt fully loaded as a repo with only 9,000 km on it. the previous owner looks like he tried to use some household cleaner on the secion of the dash right above the center vent. In your pic i saw that you put in the silver trip around the center vent and you said that it had a 3 on the top so i am assuming that that center vent trim piece also includes that top of the dash center peice as well no?

if so can i just get that piece in black? where? and how much for just that piece?

oh and im looking to replace the entire pannel if possible, not just a stick on, unless that is my only option!

i appreciate any help, thanks everyone!!!

so those \'silver panels\' are just stickers?

I personally don\'t like the look of those panels......they somehow look cheap. Perhaps if they were replacement units as opposed to over-lays the fit and finish would look better.

Sorry I couldn\'t make it to the last meet. It is true that the inside dash goes on top of the orginal panels, I just think it makes the car look all together with the silver, however it is put on. I guess alot of people are turned off since it is just stuck on, but I like it. Since there are so many 3\'s I needed to do something to make mine a little different!!:D :p
