    2018 CX-9 GT wrapped in Avery Dennison Carmine Red Vinyl - Progress Journal

    We dont own the vehicle anymore, so I can't quite remember, but i do remember you have to pull off the interior panel on the tailgate, and I believe the tail lights come out first, then the chrome strip. i do remember you basically have to pull off EVERYTHING on the tailgate for the trim to...

    Factory Bose Amplifier location in 2018 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring?

    i'm not sure, you'd just have to check the wiring harness. i'd guess if its the same, then it should work the same. I just used a cheap LOC off of amazon, something like 12 bucks? And how it's connected is literally in this thread, each wire, further up. the factory bose amp&speakers work just...

    Factory Bose Amplifier location in 2018 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring?

    yes, you'll need a line output converter obviously, but the LOC negative signal wire is to the white wire in the harness, positive signal wire is to the red wire in the harness, and remote power on for the amp is to the green wire in the harness. you'll have to run pos to the battery obviously...

    2018 CX-9 GT wrapped in Avery Dennison Carmine Red Vinyl - Progress Journal

    My plan is to dip them -- they're a bit to intricate to wrap them in my opinion. i've dipped many sets of wheels and when you do them correctly, they look great and hold up for as long as you want them to. I should have photos towards the beginning of next week!

    2018 CX-9 GT wrapped in Avery Dennison Carmine Red Vinyl - Progress Journal

    Thanks! Shouldn't have any problems with the DMV -- the vehicle is still white technically. Everything i've red, it's no issues at all. I was quoted $4,000 by a local shop to do this job, so I saved about $3500 minus my time doing it myself. Yes, still planning on doing the wheels gloss...

    Thanks! I worked from about 5:00pm to 12:30am every work day from last Friday, to this past Monday, working from about 730am to 730pm on the weekends, so I estimated about 70-80 hours or so.

    2018 CX-9 GT wrapped in Avery Dennison Carmine Red Vinyl - Progress Journal

    I literally just taught myself using YouTube. I first started wrapping interior parts in a couple of my cars, then blacking out chrome on my cars, then did the stripes on my Hellcat, and now the full CX-9. A channel called CK Wraps has some awesome tutorials on youtube. he's pretty much my go to...

    2018 CX-9 GT wrapped in Avery Dennison Carmine Red Vinyl - Progress Journal

    So a little background -- My wife owns a 2018 CX-9 GT. This car is incredible, WAY better than I honestly expected a Mazda SUV to be. The car is genuinely a blast to drive, and I own a Hellcat Charger with 707hp, so that means alot coming from me! Anyways, my wife has always been OBSESSED...

    2016+ CX-9 Bumper Removal

    This is accurate, also, there is one screw on each side that's underneath the fog light housing, so you have to remove the fog light housing with 3 screws, to access the final screw on each side of the chrome plastic trim.

    2016+ CX-9 Bumper Removal

    So i did this this weekend, it's actually scarily easy to get off -- I'll take pics upon reassembly, but here is the jist of it: 1. Pull the plastic trim off around the front wheels (they're just clipped into place, so just pry them outwards and they'll pop off) 2. There's one bolt on the...
