R3 stock shift ****... Red stitching?

Hey guys, was just looking at my r3, and realized everything has red stitching except my shift ****...

The thing is that when I got the car, it didn't have the rotary shaped ****... I had to get them to swap one out on the spot... I wonder if I was supposed to get one with red stitching...

Any input?

Yep, red stitching everywhere. except the shifter boot. Go figure why they left it out there.

All red stitching but I didn't really like mine. A voodoo **** took care of my complaints v. the OE ****.

Red stitching on my shift **** as well, except for the shifter boot (had to go out to my garage and check it out for sure, because of my short-term memory, lol )

Of course, you should contact the same dealer you bought your R3 from. If they can't help, you always have Mazda North America to count on. MNA has been of great help to me thus far.

All the best.

many dealers pull the shift ***** on their showroom cars to prevent theft. they probably didn't know the difference and just put whatever shift **** on it
