    Brighter Headlights?

    If you check, one of the reasons the cx9 was given such a high safety rating was due to the headlights being as bright and even as they are. With the LEDs of course

    Brighter Headlights?

    Does yours not come with leds? Mine piss off everyone on the road. Like I drive home late at night from work and I take a different route so I'm not blinding oncoming traffic on the fun back roads. I also almost never use my high beams because the leds are more than bright enough, even on the...

    2016~2023 CX-9 Brake Life

    I drive like a douche with hills and curvy roads. 26k miles and rear pads were close to shot, fronts still had probably 33% left. Now I'm at 43k miles and everything is better. Gas prices changed the way I drive and magically my pads have plenty of life left!

    2020 CX-5 Soul Red paint issues

    I have a 2020 blue and the clear seems solid as can be on mine. Though I bought it new and laid on a hell of a waxing to keep it safe in the new England areas.

    Changing OEM tire size on 2017 CX-9 Touring

    Winter tires should be OEM width or skinnier if you're going to get a dedicated winter setup. Tread pattern has a huge benefit so the 265 in the ATW3s would help a ton over a oem HT style. But skinner is typically better regardless... Also, saving 9lbs gets thrown out be going 1.5in larger...

    Changing OEM tire size on 2017 CX-9 Touring

    I did this size with pirelli scorpion a/s 2s. Great tire. Love them in the rain but to be honest, they're heavier at the bump in size. I've lost about 2-3 mpg. Check the weight of the tires you're going to buy. Going from the stock yokohamas to the pirellis added a few lbs per tire and I've...

    What have you done to your CX-9 today?

    When Google maps updates and you're happy you washed and waxed the car apparently right before they drove down the street.

    What have you done to your CX-9 today?

    White is very deceiving. It can look clean and shiny until you see it in just the right light, then you see nothing but swirls and scratches lol. And we are always learning too!

    Buying a Child seat

    I had a mat under the seats the whole time. The seats bounced back after a day or two if it was warm out. The mats are mostly there to catch the dirt and food and occasional projectile vomit. Get a mat that covers the whole seat. Yes I learned from experience.

    The Car Care Thread

    I've been using the clay towels lately and I'm loving them. I rinse them off frequently and watch the contaminants come out. I haven't has a single issue with marring or it causing fine scratches. They claim they're reusable but I'm not going that far. Keep it lubed up and I like it.

    Detailed a 2015 tacoma today that hasn't seen wax since it was bought...so never. Gobs of contaminants in the paint that was a PITA to get out. Spent plenty of time on the rims but was limited to 4 hours due to schedules.
