After only a few weeks it looks pretty bad already.
Don't touch them dragging your shoes.

the ones you're looking for are the same ones at mazdaformance.com, they are $134 and change...
good guys over there too... they will take care of you right
I like those CF ones too but I don't think they'd look good in a black on black car (like mine
)

Anyone looking to get the scuff plates polished could send them to twinturboteddy. If you decide to do them yourself, be very careful around the Rx-7 letters, as they can snag on the sand paper, buffing wheel, etc. and get all fudged up.
get them from www.mazdaformance.com . I polished mine myself. I recomend taking the letters off, polishing and puting new letters back on.
They are aluminum they just have a coating over them. It's pretty tuff stuff, once you get it off they polish up nice.
TO polish yourself, I used 600 grit to remove coating, then 1000, then 1500. Buffing wheel with tripoli, the buff with white compound. It takes about 5 hours to do. And yes when you close the door they will get scratched and scuffed, that's why they are called scuff plates.
