rubber door stopper?

Where can I order a new rubber piece? mine managed to fly off on the drivers side and google isnt turning anything up for me. if I can't find anything I'm going to strip it all off because it looks silly now.

i would call a couple of dealerships, nobody will have it in stock, but you might get a better price than $195, or at least it'll match with no shipping

The SA ones are a lot thinner than the FB's. http://www1.ocn.ne.jp/~katsupi1/SA22.1.jpg

anyone have a pic of the stoppers completely removed? I live in a rural area i'm not concerned about my doors being dinged and it looks ridiculous with just one.

Black Dragon has them too, but charges even more than Mazdatrix.

this is absurd, called mazda and they wanted 238 bucks for one. is this piece lined with silver or something? there's no reason it should cost this much and have next to no reproduction aftermarket at this point.

Look for a set, or the one you need, used in the 1st Gen Parts Wanted section.

I my view stripping the mouldings makes the car look naked.
