Alright guys i got a FC 88 vert and I'm trying to make my interior fresh as possible and looking at the idiot/warning console it was cracked so I took off that plastic piece that goes right in front of it. What is this piece called and where can I get another? Its fairly an annoying problem for me haha and if there's another way to cover it any tips on a custom built one is welcome

 

I've always called it the idiot lights/warning lights surround. Dunno if thats the actual name of it though.

 

It is called the Auto Clock Bezel. Mid run in 88, they switched the warning unit to slope like the S5 units instead of like the other S4 units. I'm not sure from the picture which one your car uses. If the plastic on your warning panel sticks out more on the top than the bottom, you have the newer 88-91 style. Some 88's I've seen have the 86-87 style though.

 

You can get them from mazdatrix, or call ray Crowe of Malloy Mazda in VA and ask him if he has a bezel.

 

I believe I have the newer 89-91 s5 autoclock as it arches toward me but thanks a bunch for the help =D too bad Mazdatrix sells it for $44 for this useless piece that i want so badly -__-

 

only $44?

 

Time to order! I bought one that was for S4 off a guy off craigslist for $5...but guess it was the wrong one.

 

lol i just replaced mine 25 bucks off a guy on the forums here. mine was cracked as well. common problem?

 

Very common. When I had my 87, I literally could just pick it up and it crumpled to pieces... Lol, needless to say I had a "wtf?" moment. Never bothered replacing it as I had more pressing issues.
