    Audi Style LED Strips

    My husband has an '08 TT, without the LEDs. He put a row underneath by the fogs. I will get him to take a pic and post it. Here is where he got the bulbs. http://www.oznium.com/

    Window Tinting

    My front sides are 20% and the rest is 5%. It looks really good on the white. I bought a pre cut kit from eBay and did it myself. The only problem was that I couldn't do the back window in one piece, just to much curve! The tint was good quality and fit perfect with only minor trimming. It...

    I have a pearl white as well and did the same thing on Saturday. The pearl just glows in the sun when it is so nice and clean!

    Are you guys Mazda loyalists?

    The 5 is my 3rd Mazda. I had an MX-6 LS (how I still miss that car) back in the '90s and picked up a Euro spec 323F when I was stationed in Italy. Now that the kids are bigger I need more room and the 5 is perfect.

    Rear licence plate lights

    If it ever gets above -10C again I will take some pics. I would like to swap the side markers as well, but they come as complete units and I haven't found any that a) are inexpensive b) shipped from Taiwan.

    7-seater MPV. Rear Crash Test (by 5th Gear)

    5th Gear is a British car show like, but not as good as, Top Gear. The 15th season recently started on January 5th. The last segment focused on rear end collisions of small people movers. They used an Opel Zafira with the test dummies in the third row being hit by a small truck at 40 mph. To say...

    Mobil 1 0W-30

    The "W" stands for winter. The first number is the weight of the oil at start up and the last number is the weight at operating temp. People mistakenly think that it stands for weight, which is wrong.

    Rear licence plate lights

    I put Stealth bulbs for the front and rear turn signals, that orange is just too ugly. Especially with the white pearl paint. I swapped out the front and rear overheads and the cargo light with LED's, as well as the plate lights.

    Floor mat holder

    The towel hooks are a good idea. If I can't find the part number for the retainer I will probably have to do that. I have the same rubber Mazda mats and they do not stay in place very well.

    Floor mat holder

    Does anyone know the part number to the piece of metal that is screwed to the floor and keeps the floor mat from sliding forward? I'm sick of having the passenger mat slide forward and there is a screw in the floor in the same place as the drivers side. You would think that if Mazda put the...

    GM small seven-seat van (Chevy Orlando, merged)

    The S-Max wheelbase is 100mm (4") longer and overall length is 260mm (10") longer. I wouldn't say amazingly long compared to the 5. Maybe you're confused with the Galaxy which is still small compared to a Grand Caravan.
