yeah, it looks like there was an indent for the original start button before it was scrapped, however it doesn't look like it will fit in that left side of the dash anymore. i wonder what all it entails as far as wiring is concerned. I'm assuming they will "disable" the "start engine" portion of the key.

just click "traslate words in Japanese Text" and it works really well. I figured out that picture with the wires was indeed an electrostatic discharge kit such as someone had previously suggested. anyhow, if you copy and past from the mazda.co.jp site into that webpage, it helps put english descriptions to some of the pictures out there...

for any of you dealer forum members, or anyone with more experience buying aftermarket for cars, how difficult, if at all possible, will it be to order add-ons available in japan if they aren't offered in the US.
I am planning on asking Brown Mazda in Fairfax when I go down there if they have any experience with this. They seem to do a lot of mods to vehicles above and beyond mazda accessories, so I figure they might be able to get the parts from japan, and hopefully without too much of a markup.
I really want the strakes, LED shifter, startbutton, keyless handless entry, colored (red) middle compartment covers, red rearview mirror, rear foglamp, boot spoiler and maybe a few other things I can't think of now. I just don't want to have to pay $10,000 for the options I want.

If you can get the part number, your dealer should be able to order it.
If not, you can use corksport.com.

It is not true that if you simply have a Mazda part number that your local Dealer can order it. Some parts managers are great, understand the rotary enthusiast, and are willing to help, I happen to know one who isn't even in my state! Most others act like they are former government employees or civil servants and are unwilling to lift a finger if they have to actually do some work (my local dealership, as an example). Case in point, I own a very rare (by U.S. standards) Mazda. I have all of the manuals and when I need basic parts, despite the fact that I have valid, Mazda part numbers, I get stares of bewilderment. Mazda NA is not Mazda Japan. They have to go through a "middleman." It can be done, but for a dealer to help you, they have to feel there is something in it for them - this is a relationship building process. You really are better off going through a place like CorkSport if you don't have any good contacts. Sorry for the rant...
