The 19" wheels I got were from a 2014 GT model, before they swapped to the "vampire teeth" with the refreshed model. I still have my original 17" wheels, so I'll swap my winter tires to those and sell my old steel set. I got the 19" set from a retired couple that upgraded to a CX-9, so I...

I'm assuming he's talking about part FT01291? I had an MVI to pass in this case and couldn't wait for the part to arrive with upcoming vacation planned. My fault for not planning further ahead but time gets away from you with kids. Rock Auto has been great in the past, but it usually takes a...

I got a full set of OEM 19" rims for $300 CAD, which I thought was a great deal. I spent a few hours cleaning them all up - did a deep clean before taking a clay bay to them to get rid of the remaining yellow staining. Overall I think they look pretty good and after getting some new tires a...

Thanks for the feedback everyone! We've owned the car for about 40 months now so we're just outside the 3 years. That's good advice about checking with the dealer so I'll give that a try and see what they say about this. If they decline it, then I'll probably check with a body shop to get a...

So while washing my car the other day, I noticed while wiping it down that there were a couple chips/bubbles beginning to form in the paint along the roof. A little annoyed that I didn't notice this earlier but at this point I'm looking for a fix and I'm wondering if anyone has any...

I'll also recommend the rubber inserts, they're super cheap and don't take long to swap out. I also like keep an extra set in the car, which came in handy when the driver side starting coming apart during a road trip.
