I sent my payment in yesterday for: http://www.japanparts.com/db/partsli...ey=117-002-005

I've never been in love with the stock parking brake handle. Anyone else have one of these installed?

Autoexe has really close relations with Mazda, they can get Mazda's final design graph before anyone else, thats why they can often come up with mods that sooner than everyone else.

and their slang is something like, Drive should be fun, thats why 75% of their stuff focus on handling and Aero items.

and of course their stuff are made from high quality stuff. fitting is 100%.

Its gonna look great

Didn't really care for the look of that one when I was shopping around, so I just ended up installing this one.

Just wanted the basic but in a nice leather and I did the center console cover at the same time.

good to hear, can't wait to install it. I'm guessing 6 to 8 weeks for delivery?


I looked around alot before settling on this one. The all aluminum one is way too square and aluminum for my taste. The one surfer is using looks ok, but reminds me too much of a klingon forehead
The simple leather wrap that mazda does was too plain for me as well.

The Klingons are not amused!
