Finally, NEW INDASH KIT FOR MAZDA 3

[yac2727]

Finally Metra made the kit for the Mazda 3. It's supposed to incorporate the clock. I haven't seen a picture but the guy who ordered it for me says it's real nice looking.

It's not cheap. $75 bucks. Well, we'll just have to wait for pictures!!

The top display part of the radio (in the fake cf strip) would be replaced by a pocket. When you get the kit installed please post pics! I am waiting to see somebody successfully purchase and install it..

dont know if anybody really cares, but theres another site where u can get a dash kit for. its HZEmall.com then click the mazda3. it looks good but hes chargin a little too much to do it ($200) and your factory radio is all chopped up.

True, but just about every aftermarket radio made has a clock...

Here's a radio kit you won't see just anywhere, think $75 is expensive? I was quoted $500 to have this carbon fiber dash panel made, but said to hell with it, did some research and spent $55 in materials and 15 hours of labor (mostly sanding, sanding and more sanding) and made the damn thing myself. I took a flat sheet of ABS plastic, heated it and stretched it to fit the contoured lines of the stock radio, cut it to size, sanded, coated with a layer of two part epoxy, layered a sheet of 2x2 twill carbon fabric and brushed on two coats of polyester acrylic, sanded down to 2000 grit, completely cut apart the stock radio housing to preserve original mounting points (original LCD included in final install, though it is disconnected until I rewire the control board from the stock radio to drive it) and dropped in a Pioneer DEH-P9300 head unit. It's more work than most would attempt, but nothing ventured, nothing gained I always say... Let me know what you guys think.

Has anyone received/installed the Metra kit yet. I think this may be the way to go if I want to add Sirius.

Installer.com (http://www.installer.com)

Has the Mazda 3 kits for $25.50 and something like $5.50 shipping. Decent price. I think they only take paypal for payment though.
