GB: Passenger footrest, Spirit R style - SakeBomb Garage

*Note, production version will have a different finish, see pics below* POLISHED FINISH MAY BECOME AVAILABLE FOR AN EXTRA CHARGE


Anyone who has rode in the passenger seat of the FD3S realizes the passenger foot well does not provide any support for your feet. Mazda was kind enough to provide an oh-sh*t handle for the 255hp FD, but when they upped the power to 280hp for the Spirit R and RZ models in Japan, they realized that passengers would have a much harder time staying in place ;) hence the creation of the passenger foot rest/brace. Unfortunately Mazda only made these for Japan-only RHD FD’s for the high-power variants. As we know many FD’s in the states make much more than 280hp!! Not only are the RHD footrests extremely rare in Japan, they also will not fit the LHD footwell.

The finish on the footrest will closely match this

Features:

• Aluminum construction - lightweight and strong
• Easily removable to clean floor mats
• Hole pattern and texture closely match the rare RHD Spirit R/RZ version, but for LHD cars
• Rough textured surface provides great grip for shoes (for your track instructor :nod:), but will not snag stockings (for your lady friend with her heels off ;) )
• Mounting hardware included along with a brushed aluminum SBG sticker
  

Here is the OEM RHD RZ/Spirit R footrest for visual comparison

I know you are trying to match the mazda desing, but a dimple dye look might be cool. Looks great already though.

Yeah we talked about that, but decided we wanted to as closely replicate the RZ/Spirit plates as closely as possible. I'd say ours is a 99% perfect match, but in LHD :) Granted the only people that will care is me, and the few other "purists" (ie JDM junkies) out there :lol:

how long is the gb going on for? this would look great in the car..

Just don't close it the same time as your oil cooler gb. I'll end up breaking the bank.
Well If You can wait 2 weeks after that would be GREAT 
That way. It will allow more to enter this gb. See I'm looking out for you too 

I think the close will be more dependent on when the running list starts to quiet down... I know we have a number of things going on at the same time :aroused:
