Well I broke down and bought this since I didn't want the girlfriend putting her feet up on the dash on long trips or when she can't sit still.

This is still set up for the RHD cars, but with a little rigging you can get it to work. It took me about an hour to put in the illuminated shifter, and about 3 hours to figure this out and put it in place. I had to replace the bolts it came with sheet metal screws and a few lock washers, but its in.

Its actually pretty comfortable, and I just hope it helps keep the feet off the dash.

Price range: $259 through $309

The RX8 passenger footrest plate from CAR SHOP GLOW is a 3mm aluminium cabin trim piece. It gives the SE3P passenger footwell a deliberate, finished look. Available in Blue, Orange, Pink and Silver, it lets owners coordinate with an existing interior colour direction. Velcro mounting is included, so installation is straightforward and no permanent modification is required.

RX8 Passenger Footrest Plate Key Features

  • 3mm aluminium construction gives the plate a solid, purposeful presence. It reads as quality from the moment a passenger steps in.
  • An anodised sandblasted finish adds a distinct surface texture. It catches light differently from painted or plastic trim, elevating the cabin’s material quality.
  • Four colour choices are available: Blue, Orange, Pink and Silver. The colour theme can align precisely with a chosen interior direction, rather than defaulting to a generic silver addition.
  • Supplied Velcro allows tool-free fitting to the passenger footwell floor. It makes for a clean weekend refresh with no drilling or adhesive residue.
  • Finally, full compatibility across Series 1 and Series 2 builds means this aluminium footrest plate suits the entire 2003-2012 RX8 model range without modification.

For RX8 enthusiasts working through an interior refresh, the passenger footwell is often overlooked. Fitting a quality passenger footrest plate in a chosen colour brings that corner of the cabin up to the same standard as the driver’s side.

The textured anodised face holds its finish over time. It resists the scuffs that bare painted surfaces accumulate. More information on CAR SHOP GLOW’s interior range is available at CAR SHOP GLOW’s official site.

To build a cohesive cabin theme, the AUTOEXE Nappa Leather Gearknob (Round Shape, Red Stitch) brings a premium tactile upgrade to the centre of the cabin. It pairs naturally with an RX8 passenger footrest plate as part of a purposeful interior refresh. The GENUINE MAZDA OEM Floor Mat Set is a natural companion, completing the footwell presentation on both sides of the cabin with factory-correct fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this passenger footrest plate fit both Series 1 and Series 2 RX8 models?

Yes, the CAR SHOP GLOW aluminium passenger footrest plate is designed for the SE3P platform and suits Mazda RX8 Series 1 (2003-2008) and Series 2 (2009-2012) models.

What colours are available for the RX8 passenger footrest plate?

The plate is available in four colours: Blue, Orange, Pink, and Silver. This lets you match or complement existing interior trim, stitching, or accent colours in your cabin.

How is the footrest plate mounted, and is any drilling required?

The plate mounts using the supplied Velcro, so no drilling or permanent modification to the footwell is needed. It is a straightforward fit that can be done as part of a general interior refresh.

What material and finish does the plate use?

The footrest plate is made from 3mm aluminium with an anodised sandblasted finish. The textured surface gives it a purposeful, metal appearance and a distinct look compared to the standard plastic footwell area.

Does fitting this plate change the layout or usable space of the passenger footwell?

No. The plate is a trim piece that sits over the existing footwell surface. It adds a finished appearance without altering the footwell's shape or reducing passenger space.

Is this the same as the genuine Mazda OEM passenger footrest?

No. The CAR SHOP GLOW plate is an aftermarket aluminium accent piece designed to add a colour-coordinated, textured finish to the footwell. The genuine Mazda OEM passenger footrest is a separate product suited to restoring the original factory component.

What other interior parts pair well with this footrest plate?

A genuine Mazda OEM floor mat set is a natural companion, renewing the surrounding footwell area and giving the passenger side a consistently fresh, coordinated appearance alongside the aluminium plate.
