If anyone is still looking for the molded dash kits, the above link will take you to one. This site offers both flat and molded for the 3rd gen.

As far as the prices go I am not sure if they are on the high end or not. What is considered reasonable for this type of accesory???

Those prices seem reasonable, especially for the molded kits. Only problem I see is that the door latches will wind up with stainless rings (if that's the one you choose) and the "champagne" handles - that contrast would be kinda fugly, IMO. Maybe painting the handles black would look better.

That kit is synthetic carbon fiber and there are only 3 pieces that are molded the rest are flat. Thanks for trying

I have been looking for a nice dash kit since July when I bought my car. In all the sites I looked at and all the different kits for different cars that I have viewed (Toyota, Ford, Honda, etc...) I have come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as a true molded dash kit! Of the hundred + kits for various cars that I have pulled up on different sites none of the kits had every single part molded. In fact the good majority of them were the main dash part and the door switch plates like the one of the protege in the link.

I undrestand that this particular one is synthetic but I do remeber seeing it on another site that was real CF. Unfortunatly I did not save the site. I will keep looking and when and if I can find it again I will post the link.

Billie the last post before yours was in 2002...I'm pretty sure most of the guys in that thread don't even have their Protege anymore.

I was going to say the same thing. Of course, there are additional pieces available that will really set it off: CF passenger side airbag cover, cluster surround, etc.

Considering that the OEM stock Mazda brushed silver kit is a couple of hundred bucks from a dealership, I would say the CF stuff is well priced (if you pick and choose which pieces you want).
