Talking OEM Door Sills FD3S

Most of you guys say sand then polish them back to life, which I did. But once they were on the car they looked horrible against the VR paint. So I decided to match the interior pieces of the car. I used black wrinkle finish paint with engine enamel so seal in the new logos. Total cost of project with the sills was $30. Here are some before and after pictures. If the pics dont show up you can view them at http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/657532/2

I love the Wing too. But I would advise others not to make the mistake I did, which is fill in the side of the wing with bondo to make it smooth. 4 months after I painted it, it has small stress cracks.

rccaz1, I dont know from what Mazda it came from. I bought it on ebay for $150 new. The search I used on ebay was 6 disc Mazda CD changer or use a combination of the words. Great thing about the stereo was it was a perfect fit and a plug & play connection except for the antenea, in which you need a male-to-male adapter. I checked ebay and didnt see any for sale but I'm sure if you check regularly you'll find one. The average price I saw them run for was about $250 new. I do know that most of the sellers are from Canada.
