It came off my 2008 CX-9 so it should fit the CX-9s of that generation. This is a complete floorliner set for the front and rear. It's in excellent condition with normal signs of use. No rips or tears. Asking only $90. Local pick-up Chicagoland. I can ship it too at buyer's expense. I will...

Both front struts on my 2008 CX-9 GT AWD are starting to leak. Can anyone give me the parts nos. for the pair? And where is the best and cheapest place to buy these online? Thanks.

Yeah, looks like i'll just leave it as is and use my iPod. My only concern is that I have some good/rare original CDs in there. I would love to get them out, but it seems you have to take the whole darn thing apart to free them.

Well of course it didn't physically disappear (lol2), but in a sense that's what happened. I have 2008 GT with Bose premium sound (no navi). I was listening to a CD yesterday when suddenly the music skipped for a few seconds (like playing a scratched disc) and then silence. I cycled through...

I have to 2 kids who still require car seats. I found that the best way to retain a reasonably comfortable entry/exit for an adult to the 3rd row is to install the 2 car seats at the 60% portion of the middle bench (i.e. one latched at the driver side and the other one using the middle seat...

I just used those $2 velcros from Home Depot. It does the job.

Yeah, that's the exact trim I was trying to pull off. I'm pulling it out exactly at that latch area where there's a hole and I can hook my fingers from underneath. I applied a good amount of force but the sides wouldn't budge. It was almost bending at the center part where I'm pulling, so I...

"3: Lift up (in the front) and remove trim which console lid sits down on." I tried doing this, but that trim seems to be stuck. Do you really just pull it up from the front portion and it's not held by any screws? No need to remove the lid first too?

Thanks Caustic! I'm now confident enough give the center console trims a shot. I'm still undecided between brushed titanium and gloss white aluminum. My wife prefers the latter though. As for the rear door trims, I thought they just pull out the same as the fronts? I'll give it a shot and...

Nice work! The close up shot of the door trim looks particularly awesome! So the only prep you did was clean the pieces right? No sanding and using 3M primer? Also, can you elaborate on these? 1: Lift up the shifter plate and remove. (Will need to unscrew shift knob and pop out light bulb)...

My local CarMax offered me 1.5K less than what a dealership was offering for my 06 Rav4. The people there were nice and polite, but their appraisal calculation just s*cks.

I think MetroRestyling accepts returns, but you have to pay to ship it back though. I do hope this time these other vendors have it right. If ever you do decide to go with brushed titanium, are you going to wrap all the silver pieces including the door release and those thin ones that run up...

Wait, so it's the exact opposite of this? Can you post a pic of the roll you got? Yeah, the brushed aluminum is really somewhat disappointing. What do you think about the gloss white aluminum though? It's just a tad too glossy but it's the closest thing to the trim color and no grain...

Used to live there. Did you too? :)

Mine's as follows: 1. 198x Mitsubishi Lancer L Type - My parents didn't actually buy a car until I was 9 yrs old or so, and this was our first family car (bought used from a relative - not actual car) 2. 1993 Toyota Corolla XE - This was the first brand new car purchased by my parents. It...
