new? Doubtful. Might be cheaper to take them to be re-done at an upholsterer, or keep an eye out in the classifieds here. Sometimes they pop up on Ebay, but in like new condition, they'll be spendy.

Yea, normal consumable parts like brake shoes, water pumps and such are readily available for these cars. Other items, like door pannels and misc interior bits and pieces are just NLA once Mazda runs out of inventory. You either go the custom upholster route, or find good parts off cars being parted out. There aren't any large aftermarket suppliers out there offering OEM style replacement parts like door pannels or moldings and emblems.

Mazda ran out of door panels in maybe the late 90's? and they were not inexpensive at the time either.

they do actually have a good amount of the parts on the door panels, like the cups for the handles, which they share with some other cars and are cheap!

A good upholstery shop should be able to match the color/material perfectly. They have tons of samples you can go through.

If both your door panels and seats are original material, probably should do them all together so when you're done it looks like the car came that way.
