New Door Defroster Vents!

For the longest time I had been looking through the 93 parts catalog for the door defroster vents. I never found them listed until recently I found a 94 parts catalog. The door defroster vents were listed, however only in black. Unfortunately for me I have red interior, but I thought I would try them to see how they looked on the red door panels. It turns out that they aren't bad at all and I think they look better than red vents.

I ordered them new from Mazda at $17 each. It was well worth it to me due to my vents cracking from all the sun damage over the years. There were some spots with little chunks missing.

For anyone interested the part numbers are:

FD01-68-4J6-02 Left Door
FD01-68-4J1-02 Right Door

vents

Not bad. Mine were in rough shape, so I put some sand paper, and some paint on them. Good as new.

I think the black vent looks good on the red panel, kinda breaks it up a little. I'm surprised you got them from Mazda for only $17 each.
