Just picked up a 2012 Mazda CX-9 GT - First Impressions: LOVE IT.

[Mazda Jon]

Just wanted to say hello. Newbie here... Loving our CX-9 GT so far. Really surprised by the handling/acceleration/braking for such a large vehicle. We had (and loved) a 2009 Nissan Murano LE (that unfortunately was toatalled by a less than smart individual) and our family is growing so here we are!

Future Mods:
Matching fogs and parking lamps to HID's... it's really bothering me.

Thanks,
Jon

Welcome Mazda Jon!
Sorry to hear about your accident. I hope you and your family are all OK.
You made a good choice. Nice looking GT!

Welcome aboard, looks great! We just picked up a '12 GT as well, similar mileage. What are your plans for matching the fogs to the headlights?

Thanks for the welcome!

I'm not sure If I'm going to go HID and get more light or just LED/CreeLED to match the colors. I might get the DDM HID kit for the fogs and just LED's for the 194 parking bulbs. I changed my fogs on my 09 Sierra to a DDM kit as well and it was surprisingly easy. I want to change out the interior eventually too.

Congrats and welcome! I look forward to seeing what you do with the fogs as they drive me nuts as well. I loved the added light output from the fogs on my old Expedition but I just can't stand the mismatch on my CX-9 so I leave them off.
