    Exhaust tips?

    Has anyone changed out the exhaust tips on a 2014+ Mazda6? Always seemed a little wimpy for my taste. I want some that are a bit larger in diameter, and angled. Maybe brushed steel look? I don't want to install a cat-back or anything. I rather the car stay quiet. Just the tips (ha! Just the...

    I screwed up... Front bumper needs repaint

    I screwed up by not adding a protective film to the front bumper a year ago when I purchased my 6. Now, a year and 27k miles later, the front end paint is full of chips. WTF. How much can this cost to repaint? (And add the protective film) Oh, I'm in California (Gardena area)
