That's kinda sad ... Mazda put some thought into the classic roadster styling of the car, which includes those chrome bezels ... Ahh well, we still have people putting carbon fiber stickers on their interior, too.

WTF ??? Why would you want to get rid of the Chrome Bezels ?? The plain black takes so much away from the styling of the int. For the love of God...don't do this to your FD.

Personally, I like the chrome rings. It gives it a classic feeling to the gauge cluster. I even got chrome gauges under my radio, too. There ARE lots of highend cars with gauges with chrome rings. The M roadster being one of them.
Oh well. Whatever flicks your bic

I respect your taste Red...everyone has their likes and dislikes. BUT, that's like Going into a Ferrari 360 Modena and Ripping out all of it's Chrome bezzled gauge trim. Enzo would not be very happy.

The Miata deleted the chome rings for a couple years and the backlash was incredible. The retro chrome rings are back on.
Whatever. Don't forget to black out those red-necky chrome emblems and antenna mast also. Primer black paint job also. No shiney American crap.
