How many Aussie Kizashi owners are out there?

Hi ozziekizzy, I am getting it from the dealer where I bought the car. I had a look around the net & there were heaps but no way of knowing if they would fit. I have the Rockford Fosgate stereo in mine & it has a large speaker in the dash that I don't particularly want to cover so at least the dealer will have the correct one, cost $63.65

Hi Laurenson, mine is similar but I usually have my GPS with me anyway & I think you will find that 5kph is acceptable these days. On the bright side, no excuse for getting booked for speeding hey!

Cheers Topcat, thats great! $64 isnt too bad in the end really. Let us know if it makes any difference, especially coming into summer now

No worries, will keep you posted on the dash mat

Got the dash mat, tried to install it & gave up in disgust. It had so many holes in it to accommodate vents, airbags & speakers that it was always going to be impossible to hold its intended shape. Add to that the velcro strips did not want to adhere to the dash even after I applied heaps more to the miserable 3 provided. I immediately rang the dealer spare parts & asked what my options were. They said if I wasn't happy I could return it for a refund so I hotfooted it there before they changed their mind. Interestingly, he didn't sound surprised at all, almost as if he was expecting it. Putting the money towards a towbar. As for the glare problem, don the old sunnies I guess.

Polaroids work really well for glare and reflections

(they really do!)

Hi jj51, I am also in Sydney. Have only seen 2 others & they were both black. Mine is pearl white & I love it. hasn't got the grunt of my prior WRX but it's a lot more refined

If you are like me and couldn't afford the genuine floormats at a rediculous $194 then there is a good fitting set at Autobarn for $34 (4 piece set) Monarch made by Carfit, Command Auto Group. Only small nick required at drivers left foot rest. Look great !
