Don't go with the dealer...they rip you off and charge you a lot of money for the installs. Here are some examples:

1. REMOTE START- They quoted me for $800 (parts and labor) to have them installed. I bought my OEM part from eBay for $240 shipped and only paid $160 to a pro car audio installer so that saved me $400.

2. SPLASH GUARDS- You can get both the front and rear for $80 on eBay and install them yourself...it's not that hard. The dealer quoted me for $100 to have it installed. You can save $120 by not going to the dealer.

It looks like he found the mud guards on Ebay for his CX-7, not the 9. I just picked mine up from the dealer for $100 and installed myself. Simple install and going MSRP is $120 on the mud guards. I just worked out a deal with my dealer to work with me on the accessories. I have the electrochromatic/homelink mirror getting installed next week. The parts arrived today.
