Nice. Original GXL with leather package. Pretty rare in such good shape.

i like the interior of my s4, slot in a couple race seats and its simple and purposeful. and the decent sized tach is right in the middle, where it should be!

The pictures don't do it justice. The interior looks gray in the pictures, but it is really blue. Their is some slight wear to the drivers seat, a crack in one of the rear speaker covers, and the triangular black plastic piece in the drivers side window is cracked... other than that, the interior looks and smells new.

I have not checked with the dealer yet but, has anyone purchased any of the replacement interior plastics from a mazda dealer or other supplier if any? If so I would greatly appreciate any references, thanks.

sometimes the interior gets to me... how my friend's RP-S13 has a "new" look for his interior...

but eeeh..... the FC's interior is nice
except for my broken plastic pieces and stupid last owner lost 9 out of 10 of the screws that holds those pieces in place!!!! ARG!!

anyone tried to "update" their interiors? goods? bads?

i heard somewhere that an FD dash and console could be retro fitted in an FC. id kinda like that, but once i get a 87 T2 parts car my 87 will get a full black interior make-over. and all plastic surrounds will be accented in gunmetal.

My 10th AE interior with some S5 stuff. Dunno why it looks grey in the pics, got to take pics with less flash. Replacing really worn stock ****/boot with new boot and Mazdaspeed **** until I find a mint AE ****. Anyways, black interior = sexy.

thats a nice interior ^_^
the dash looks so clean!!

is the driver's side panel custom leather?

anways the interior in a S5 does look different... more updated... but the dash still looks kinda blocky....

anyone seen the FD dash conversion? have any pictures?

Thanks. Nah, its OEM leather panels. The "rippled curtain type" panels are pretty hard to find and even more rare with S4's. An upholstry shop should have no problem doing the same. The back piece can literally be taken out and screwed back on.

A guy in Japan did the FD dash conversion. Can't find pics anymore though.
