    Mazda6 rims on mazda3??

    Ummmm - what am I missing here - you know how its going to look based upon your photoshop work? Only you can decide if it looks good to you...

    Turtle wax ICE..Love it!

    Let me know how that works out Rio - I just NXT'd my car this weekend and was very happy with the results. Big fan of the Meguiar's products - If the ICE takes it one step further - I'll have to try it. Anyone found anything worth a damn to clean the windows? The one's on my '06 Mazda3 seem...

    Cig-Lighter Replacement Plug & Fuel Cap Holder...

    Why would I do that when it stores nicely in the door as I've shown?

    seat belt beeper

    Not to worry - when you're brain-dead from launching yourself through the freakin' window and smashing your witless melon on the pavement the insanity caused by the beeping will become much less relevant...(shocked)

    Sensitivity adjustment for stock Xenon HID's?

    Probably so... awwwww - stop your crying Alice! :) It just seemed like there must be a physical control somewhere that can be adjusted... thanks though - you're probably right. Hey - what's the tint level on you front doors? I'm thinking of having mine done but don't want them too dark...

    Sensitivity adjustment for stock Xenon HID's?

    Anyone know how to adjust the sensitivity of the stock Xenon's? Car is an '06 3GT Sedan. The lights come on a bit too early in the day in "auto" mode - I'd like them to hold off kicking in until its a little darker outside. The manual says the sensitivity can be adjusted by the dealer - just...

    How much should I pay for Mazda3 sGT auto w/nav out the door??

    Before tax and tag (tax varies so much state-to-state it doesn't make sense to include it in this discussion - in SC on ANY new car it's a flat $300) on a Velocity Red 3s-GT MT w/ NAV and the Bose-Moonroof package I paid $21,418. Sticker was $22,810. They did a dealer-trade to get me the car...

    4-Door Cargo Net Hooks

    Stupid Design... Mine haven't come out yet, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time. It's a really rediculous design. The bottom ones don't actually thread into anything - there are some rubber grommets that expand behind the plastic piece you're pushing them through. As you "tighten" the...

    Cig-Lighter Replacement Plug & Fuel Cap Holder...

    I've seen a couple of comments and questions about getting rid of the cigarette lighter for non-smokers and also about how to clip the fuel cap on the fuel door. I replaced the lighter with Nissan Part #25335-9B910 for around $7 - fits right in with the dash. As for the fuel cap, it will...

    Mazda3 Sways at speed

    I actually don't find the car to be that susceptible to crosswinds - our '03 Camry is much worse.

    mazda 3 moonroof deflector

    I don't have one of these on my 3 but if it's like every other one I've ever had on other cars its just held in place by clips. I would be very surprised if there was any drilling involved when attached.

    No support under carpet - rear passenger area

    Interesting.... there's a guy over on the edmunds.com site that responded to my question over there with a new '06 too and his is the same - it's got a lot of give to it behind the rear seat as well. Carpet doesn't seem to be ripped or pulled loose anywhere - it's some cheap $#!t though and...

    No support under carpet - rear passenger area

    That's exactly right - if you press down on the carpet in the rear of the vehicle - it will depress a good inch before you hit the floor-pan. Thanks ZoomVT - here, have one of these on me... (cheers)

    No support under carpet - rear passenger area

    that's not my interior.... just a picture I found while trying to find out what the floorpan looked like... thanks for checking on your rear carpet to see if it's the same though... (deadhorse
