Just put one in on my s4 88 GTU... damn that thing is nice! **** I know it's a replacement OEM part... but I think one of my biggest pet peeves in life is broken interior pieces. I waited like three weeks to get new demister vents from Mazda haha.

I think a really sharp looking interior just shows how much you care for your car, at least if you intend it to be a nice street vehicle rather than a beater or a track car. I think I'm going to replace my driver side floor mat next. I'll probably just get a replica from mazdatrix because I bet an embroidered one is impossible to find...

 

this thread is useless without pics.

 

you've never seen an s5 radio surround?

 

He's saying he's fixing his cracked ones with new ones...

Mazdatrix sells those vents, I went ahead and went CF with mine, look much better...

 

I need to get one of those S5 surrounds....My S4 one is cracked to hell and the damn vents rattle....

 

i got one and there sooooooooo much tougher than a s4 surround. although mine had a few chunks takin out of the "rubber". no bug deal since i got it for super cheap.

 

i have both, an s4 and an s5, ive got the s5 in right now. i would liek get a carbon fiber one but the only ones ive found are just solid carbon fiber, it would be hard as hell to get the hole for the vents and all the stock **** to fit in perfectly tho...

 

What makes S4 interior pieces so brittle anyway? i turned around to back out the other day and as soon as my hand touched the pass. side storage bin, the handle snapped into like five pieces. >_< its all good though, I found an S5 in the junkyard, mostly unmessed with.

 

actually the S5 one is just as brittle as the S4 version... The S5 is just covered with rubberized vinyl so you don't see when it cracks and breaks... it just starts ratteling and falling off the dash.

 

nope
edit: never even seen a s5 in real life...

 

You guys have broken s4 surrounds?

My interior happens to be perfect ! Except for the speaker covers in the rear :@.

 

My dash was in PERFECT shape until some goons broke in and stole my stereo. I came outside to find a bunch of my stuff missing and my stereo surround on the passenger seat in 3 pieces.

 

I'm really sorry to hear about your theft man. you can never have anything nice. arghx could you post a pic of the surround so the rest of us can admire it?

thank you,
TR

 

I put mine in just last night. The car didnt have one when I got it because I bought the car from a shop that was preping it into a track car. I'll post some before/after pics.

 

damn that sucks. i bet the thief's just gave it a little smack and "poof" broke into little pieces. if its a s4 of course.

 

It was an S4, but I think any dash would have done it, judging by the amount of screwdriver holes in my dash.

 

i hate loser'a like that. what was the headunit they so desperatley wanted and got?

 

Alpine CDA-9851

 

I've got the $400 Alpine HU (CDA-9855 I believe, it's been a long day)...I keep the face plate with me any time I leave the car...I also unplug my SAFCII, efectively killing any chance of moving my car more than three feet...

 

I was just about to post a question about this.... what a coincidence lol. I've got an S4 with a broken (in a few places) stereo surround. The S4 and S5 one's are interchangable? If so that's wicked cause the S5's look way better.... So they are interchangeable? If so, will I need a new ashtray or are they the same and what about the shift boot surround?

 

I think mine might have been the 55... I worked at Circuit City when I bought it, it was whatever the most expensive one was

I take the faceplate off normally too but this was IN THE GARAGE OF MY HOUSE when it got stolen.

 

I take mine off in the garage as well, I love my anti-theft device though!

I bought mine at Best Buy (I work at the Geek Squad) so it would was almost $200 cheaper than normal mark up!

 

Does anyone know of Stock design (snap/bolt/screw on) replacement parts made of CF?

Hmmm,

 

oh yeah! well, i got the, whole S5 CAR!.....i know.....cheaper production, but i like my plastic

 

I want this one!!!!!!!
