Cruise control was often installed by the dealers as a mark up item (just like sunroofs on GTUs models)

My '88 GTU also came with the ghastly stick-on fender lip guards as shown above in this thread. I heated them up and peeled them off because I hated them. Like secondmessiah says, that kind of stuff has a way of trapping dirt and salt (in the East) which can turn into rust. Ditto the nasty door edge guards and mud flaps -- blech!

I thought my current car was strange.
-1990 GXL
-Power everything
-8 way seats
-Tape & CD (still works)
-Sunroof, Fogs, Hatch cover
-AAS suspension
-Lighted key hole
-CLOTH SEATS

My previous Black 1990 GXL, same year, had leather in it with the exact same options as this car.
My current one however is way off original condition.

my 91 vert came fully loaded with am/fm/cd/tape but the strangest option is the subs behind the seats, i've never seen that on any other 2nd gen. they work ok but nothing to write home about.

It is? Wow.

It's the same part that keeps going bad i imagine, i'm wondering which one it is. I already have an aftermarket stereo and harness for it, so i'm not really worried, just interested.

I drive the most retro FC around

The car is currently in a paintshop getting a full re-spray. I'm going to have to figure out how to get new stickers made after I get it back. Bodyshop owner says Mazda is quite likely to still carry them

I doubt it though. I'll probably have to go to a stickers shop.
