Looks nice. I added 18% to the passenger around to the rear lift gate windows. I was told the 18% on top of the stock privacy takes it down to 5%.

Bob2525 is correct. The covers will fit back on, and should be put back on to protect your bulb. Though, putting the cover back on is more a pain in the butt than taking it off.

Congrats and welcome!

I almost bought one with the DVD player, but decided against it. But I never thought to check to see if it blocks the rear view when I test drove it. From a quick google search, I found this post on this site where the owner says it does block the rear view. It's a 2008 model, but nothing major...

Hmm, I thought I understood that correctly. I could be wrong though. The post with the PDF I linked you to has those instructions on how to program any and all additional keys (up to 8 keys) (at least that's how I read those instructions to be for). I did assume that you used that same key...

Do the instructions in this thread not work for you? PDF file link in the 2nd post. www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123699361-Can-I-program-a-Smart-Key-myself&highlight=program+key

The pic didn't really work out. You just see blobs of light. Just from my observation, my fogs lights were just as intense as my headlights, so the two together could possibly distract oncoming traffic. But then, I was only standing at the end of a driveway (40-50 ft away), so still can't give...

Well, here's the response I got from Geico (copied from their email): The premium for Mechanical Breakdown Insurance does increase over time, as the cost to repair vehicles due to mechanical failure also increases. We do not have an exact amount that the coverage will increase or a time table...

Initially, CPOs cost more because of the process it goes through and the extra warranty. There are many articles online that explain it. But I agree, there are definitely many of those circumstances that will come into play. And best of all, you can still negotiate the price of the CPO. Costco...

I've never noticed any creaking coming from the shifter.

What year is your car?

Hmm, I don't have an answer for that, but when I pointed the lights at my garage door, the light from the fogs didn't seem to scatter above the the headlights. But the next time I have a chance, I'll try to see if I can view my fog lights from the front , from a distance. And maybe see if I can...

I don't really rest my left arm there that often, but I personally don't have a complaint about it. Just wonder what body types most car makers use to test interior designs with. I'm a height challenged guy, by the way :-).

Yikes, that definitely sucks.

I'll just say I'm where we experience no snow at all. Maybe some freak hail every now and then, but even that's pretty rare.
