Leather Console Box Covers
Has anybody installed these and if so are they any good? They seem like it would look nice to break up the black.

Hi from the UK
Yes I had a set bought me for Xmas. They are quite easy to fit and do give the car a better quality feel inside. The padding is much nicer to lean your elbow on. In my opinion though Mazda should have made these standard in it,s "Flag Ship" car. They are over priced though cost about £89 Gb pounds over here from my local dealer. Go for it i would say.

Did you guys get them from Japanparts.com or somewhere else? Considering the cost to add the leather partking brake, they are really not that overpriced. Or we can say that all the stuff is over priced. Also, are they same leather to match the seats?

Last I checked they were 130 or 135 each from CZ. My belief is that they are are Mazda Japan parts. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Also I believe they were cheaper on Japanparts.com, but I have not figured it all out with the added cost of shipping.

Is there any way to get these in black leather with tan stiching, to match the tan stiching on the Chaparral seats? Sort of like on the Shinka? I'd prefer that to the tan leather.

Good question. The only ones I have seen are from Mazda Japan and they are solid colors to match the seats.

Anyone have a pict of the underside of these pieces. Are these just covers or do they replace the entire lid? I broke mine and the dealer is giving me a hard time about it.

They are complete replacement lids. The rear lid is sorta a lid on a lid (the leather sits over the plastic lid and the front is a complete replacement. I love the look to match my red/black leather shift **** and brake handle

Covered my own with some black leather, simply took apart streched wet leather over and stappled to the underside. Rear cover clips off the front is screwed on.
Very easy to do.
