Yeah, that's one thing that sucks, the bin lid is not a separate part. You buy the whole bin assembly for about $150 - ouch!

I bought mine . Hated that broken lid bigtime.

Sprayed on matte textures really aren't that hard.

Look into flattening compound additive for your paint and stipling effects from a gun. With a little practice it's not that hard. If you want to job it out find a shop that does product models.

for those of you with the peeling '93 parts you can wipe the rubber coating off with a towel & thinner but it is a super glossy black under there. better than peeling, some preffer the stripped '93 look. any one have a '94 '95 guage cluster face, hood, or console? all i have is the one they dont make anymore, a/c vints and door panels,lol.

If you want the gauge cluster w/hood you might want to pick up a new one since you know none of the dash clips on the hood will have any use on them. That was my main reason for starting all this since 2 of the clips had broken completely off, leaving it unstable and rattling.

No, i was referring to that panel as the one that goes on the door (which is just as expensive). The cluster face is the "gauge hood". Even though the cluster face and the hood can be separated by a few screws, Mazda sells it as one part.

**Hey dont mean to crash this topic but M104 aka neil mail box is full and I cant PM about the Intercooler I am selling him.**
Hey Neil, ur a hard man to reach, just wanted to tell you everything is ready to go. I tried to send you PM's but ur box is full, (M104-AMG has exceeded their stored private messages quota and can not accept further messages until they clear some space.) So i tryed to look for ur posts but you didnt post anythign till today.
the box is LXWXH is 25"x14"x9". I'm going to see if they will do that with the strut. (bubble rap) I tried really hard to find a box big enough for the strut so it would just be one box and probably cheaper. Since I took so long, i'll throw in some stock oil filters for the wait still assume that ur car uses them. If not tell me because I still do but I feel really bad about taking so long. Everything is ready to go. Weight is 18 w/o the filters, 20lbs with the filters.
Send me the label and it will be ready to go.

Matt,

see if www.mazdapartscheap.com can get the A/C piece for you. That was who I actually got mine from, not Malloy Mazda.

I called mazmart today to see if they had a used one, and they did but it had to come with all of the hardware attached to the back of it. So it was a bit more expensive, and used, but he said it would be in excellent condition. I ordered it so we'll see how it looks when I get it.

The good news though is that I'll basically have the complete set of the parts I wanted to replace
