Yeah, I'd like to see the pictures of the matts. The steering wheel is cool with the gray on it, but I think I would just keep the stock wheel in the P5, as far as the interior goes, I like the black and gray leather, I was looking more along the lines of gray cloth, and just keeping the dash the same. I like the shift **** on the protege, the style is nice, I would like to pick one of those up if I couldn't find an all black one. I would pick up a set of those pedals too, those are sweet. my car was manufactured in 04/02, has the white gauges, with the black number, and illuminates in red. i hope i can make my car look half way as nice as I think it could look.

You dont want to go with tan ,it is extremly difficult to keep clean ,it doesn't wear well . I have LX with the tan interior ,I hate it ,I would rather have charcol or black

Try and post another picture of your car, I would like to see it

Perfect. What about the shift *****, does Mazda make an all black 5 speed shift **** to fit my car, or are they all black & silver

JoshP5

Black and silver, but there are tons of black shift ***** available for your car. TWM, Momo, etc...

vw2p5

do those shift ***** have the gear patterns on them?

can you not remember it?

He's probably used to reverse being down, left, and forward--veedub style.

Those wacky Germans.

it's not that I can't remember it, it's just that I like the look of it. Original looking

vw2p5

LOL I was, and still am use to reverse being up by fist gear That's the way to be... I am going to check out sparco's website right now, and see what I can find. Thanks again!

My stock mazda ergonomic black leather one had the shift pattern imprinted into it.

So if mazda does not make a protege5 with gray interior, does anyone out there with a protege want to swap their gray interior for my black? Someone out there has to be interested in swapping?


I don't have the cash to go out and buy all new interior.

vw2p5

do you still have that shift ****?

JoshP5

I feel like swapping the P5 interior with one from a lesser Protege is a downgrade. Your car will end up looking neutered.

There are other cheap mods you can do to personalize your P5, like blacking out headlights, repainting the emblems, and peeling off the side molding.

A shorter shift lever from an MSP or a short shifter, plus some polyurethane shifter bushings would really improve the driving experience for not much cash.
