Thanks, guys. The photos are fixed.
I am disappointed, however, that the new door does not include a trim ring around the opening (like on the Miata SE). Bad, sloppy me chipped the paint on the rim with careless handling of the gas spigot one day.

Odd, I installed this but after using the wrench the two screws that connect the door to the car don't tighten very tightly, I can still keep wrenching it (especially the bottom screw (the one through the grounding wire).
They should tighten all the way right so they can't be turned anymore? Whats going on?

So I geuss I'm the only one who did it backwards and got rid of my chrome thingie and put stock color back on. Note to anyone thinking about it, chrome does NOT go well with the yellow (I bought it that way

Would anyone be able to point me in the direction on where to get one of these? I keep looking all over and it doesn't seem like there are any models for Mazda. Would another model fit (such as a Ford one), perhaps?
