My new JDM part - pics!
posted this on the other forum...and thought I'd put it here if anyone wants to take the part # to the dealer to see if Mazda USA offers them...
The woman got them for me from a Mazda dealer in Toyko:
part number
these crazy things...
intalled...
ahhh, cool reflections...
so yeah, I guess after looking at yahoo classifieds japan over the past year and noticing about 90% of the FC's had them, something inside me wanted them too, lol. I don't smoke...and it doesn't rain too much, go figure
enjoy the pics

Yo,
Coolness! You and your Jay Dee Emm Stylie! *grin*
If you start putting little air freshner things like I see on Yahoo Japan...you've gone too far.
Looks good!

Yo,
I think those are there so the window glass isn't sucked out during very high speeds.
At least...that's my theory.

the piece itself fits snug inside the cushioning that holds the window in-line when its in its up position. those small metal tabs along the plexi push outward to grasp the lining...
honestly i never asked her how much they were...i think around $40...
I'm a boost creep...

Those are really popular in Japn. Lots of the ex-Japan cars over here have them. If they're not too big (and those ones aren't) they look OK, and they're really good for keeping cool in rainy, humid weather.

well I just talked to my local MAZDA dealer and also MAZDA USA costumer service and they replied "This is not an active part number"...so basically we need some Japanese translators to order us some!!!

Has anyone got them since Erik? I don't want to call them up and oder them then have to send em back cause they stick out too far. Could you get some close ups and some down the side of the car pics so we can see how far they stick out?
peace,

they are very subtle and don't stick out far at all...
