What's wrong with yours? You do know that many of the parts are replaceable right?

That's cheap compared to a door panel. ~$500 from the dealer.

My friend found a perfect black dash for $75. You can find whatever you need for MUCH cheaper if you just look around the forums.

in the car industry Mazda has long had the reputation of having the highest priced parts. Even Consumer Reports knocks them on it.

Yeah the stereo sirround is like $80.

The only thing I buy from them is thermostats($10-18)
Depending on the mood of the guy at the parts counter.
He usually hooks me up(don't know why/maybe he's trying to hit on me??)
