My teacher was tellin me about how he needs a dash kit and the only thing he can find for it is about 200-250. I said he should go to the shop and have one fiberglassed. But I dont think he will. Anyone know were to find some dash kits for mazdas. That aren't 250?

It might be like the one for 03 to 06 accord, 200 bucks or so depending on model. The metra kit has the AC controls built in, so the price is pretty high.
I would look at crutchfield.com. They are pretty good about telling you what kit you need.

He needs that specific Mazda 6 kit from metra, and you can't really get em cheap.

fiberglassing would cost him just as much, and the metra kit if it's what I think, replaces the heater controlls as well as adapting that gaping hole for a normal DIN unit.

I knew fiberglass would cost the same thats why I told him to go the route, and it would look hella nice too, custom painted to what ever color he wants instead of just black, or what ever color they have.
You sure it replaces the heater controls? The one he was showing me it was just the cut out circles of were the controls go.
