Inner Door Handle Bezel in Piano Black
I picked these up from MazdaParts.com (Thanks Matt!). I had thought they were JDM replacements but they are actually an accessory that covers the OEM bezel. They install in a few minutes and are attached with 2-sided tape after treating the OEM bezel with a bonding agent. I had seen the CF ones but wanted these to match the rest of the black in the car. Rumor has it they add 12 HP

I've had mine on for awhile now and haven't had any issues with scratching. It's a great addition to the interior and they fit so well you would never know they were stuck on. Should have come on the car in the first place, IMO.
Next I plan on adding the piano black steering wheel pieces from the Shinka and those are actually replacement parts. New wiring harness and all.

Tamas,
There are stick-on pieces from Mazdaparts.com which I believe sell for approx. $75 but they just don't look right, IMO. I pm'd Rosenthal and they said the piano black pieces that come standard on the Shinka are full replacement parts for approx. $151. New wires, buttons etc. Definitely the way to go for me.

I always thought it would be nice if the piano black extended up towards the dash, around the NAV screen...
How bad do you think the glare would be on that? Do you think it would look good?

If you do a search, someone has fabricated a dash kit for aftermarket radio/screen and they did the piano black all the way up to the top. Honestly, I think that is a little overkill--I plan on addind the piano black to the doors sills too.

![Question](https://www.rx8club.com/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hello you Shinka driving people out there,
unfortunately we here in Germany didnt got the chance to buy one of these Shinka with that great black cherry colour. But what I really want to have are these accents along the center console in piano black for my velocity red 8 with the black&red leather interior.
Now my question is, if anyone of you guys could be so kind to ask your dealer for the partnumber/ordernumber of these accents I could give this number to my dealer and he would try to order it for me.
Thank you very much in advance.

Thanks Tamas,
yes I mean these parts that run along both sides of the center tunnel. I didnt found a better thread where I could ask you guys for help.
