    License plate mounting

    Couldn't stop the dealer from "prepping" my car by drilling the stupid license plate right through the front bumper! (something about state law lol) Anybody know of a company that sells the mount brackets that screws into the tow hook spot? Found a few companies but so far none list the '14 6 in...

    Question on HID foglight kit before I buy-for 07 CX9 GT

    The foglight bulb is a standard 9006. Therefore you do not need a year specific or even model specific part, any 9006 35w HID conversion kit will work. Most difficult part of these conversions is mounting the ballasts securely, so just take your time and mount it right, or make a mounting plate...

    Parking lights

    Honestly i don't see the difference between having non-hid fog or "driving" lamps on vs the newer LED DRL's that most imports are sporting. (mostly owing to the EU requirement for them) i would rather pay the cost of the aux lamp vs the replacement cost of my dipped-beam lamp. if it makes the OP...

    Post here if you would buy a CX-9 Exhaust

    Honestly, untill we can get after-market support from a named company, i would just look at some of the V-6 Mustang products out there, then go to Burns Stainless www.burnsstainless.com or Borla www.borla.com and order what i wanted. Then buy a case of beer, and make friends with a nice welder...

    exhust sound & HP

    one thing to be aware of when looking for a sound similar to the X6, is that they use a twin-turbo engine which will always sound better then NA. :) back to Mazda... if you are wanting HP, then you are going to have to redo the exhaust from the catalytic converter all the way back. if you are...

    signal mirror upgrade

    you gotta be careful with the "Made in Japan" tag for parts for our CX-9. true, they may have been made there, but if they are saying they are for the JDM then they are fake or knockoffs as there is no CX-9 sold in Japan. (unfortunate fallout of the Tuner market is JDM label plastered on...

    Sore knee!

    There are some adhesive fabric backed neoprene panels out there that you could just cut to fit. Or, if you wanted the same pad that you had on the Miata, you can source it from Mazdaspeed, Good Win Racing, or Miatamania.

    Headlight Halos, anyone?

    well, for starters, Halos are WAY more involved then the HID upgrade. the HIDs don't require the removal of the entire housing just the dust cover from the low beam. now for your halos: drop the front bumper, remove the entire headlight assembly, bake assembly in oven to loosen glue, gently...

    CX-9 with E-code (ECE) headlamps?

    since i have a 2010 Touring, i had to go the DDM Tuning route in order to get HID's. well, the color and brightness are ok, but the beam cut-off and pattern drive me nuts. i am used to my parents BMW and side by side you see the major difference. i love the sharp look of the E-Code lamps and...

    Bug shield

    yes it is necessary although it really isn't that bad. the holes are merely enlargements of the holes that are already there so you can use the mounting hardware from the bug shield. really easy, tape your bit to make sure you don't go too far, then just debur the edges and pop in the new...

    Paint hazing

    try a good polish and wax. if that doesn't get it out then try a professional service that has more experience with mechanical polishing with higher powered cutting compounds. if that fails then i'd take it to the dealer

    New and would like some help

    because of the people this type of car is aimed at, (Familys) there is little to no aftermarket presence. most of the stuff you do find is either basic and cosmetic or one-off. not saying it cant be done, just need to remember this isn't a Civic where you can find anything you desire for your...
