Forum: 2009+ Mazda6 Appearance

What would be the best product to clean our dash with? Not looking to make it shine, just looking to keep it clean and looking good. I have used Armoral in my mx-3 for 14 yrs and it still looks new but I am not looking to put the shine on the new 6. I have also heard that there is silicon in...

Ordered some 6000K bulbs now I need to know how to replace D2S bulbs before they get here

It looks clean without the giant dinnerplate sized emblem on the front. I wonder if these come unpainted... (dunno) http://www.corksport.com/product-30978.html

Would anyone be interested in a real carbon fiber overlay for the engine cover? Additional parts would include the battery, fuse, and ecu covers if enough people were interested. Fits the 2.5l models. Price would be in the $150-200 range for the engine cover and go down from there for other...

I am thinking about having all my car interior map lights, dome lights, step courtesy lights changed to White LEDs. I have checked the Osram Guide but still a little bit confused about the bulb sizes I need. Can someone who has did this help me out, thanks a bunch!

I am thinking about changing my fog lights to either 3000K HID Conversion kit or just some 20 bucks Super Yellow Halogen bulbs. I have seen them side by side before and somehow I think those super yellow halogen bulbs appear much yellower than the 3000K HID Conversion Kit, so is the HID kit really...

I have seen some carbon fiber trunk spoilers on ebay for this car. I really want to get one for mine, but I want to know how hard the installation is and is the trunk spoiler easy to fall off?

Anyone else get fabric seats and did the sticker on the car indicate a multi hundred dollar cloth protection like scotch guard? Thanks

I have successfully paired my HTC Mogul phone (Sprint) with my 6i GT via Bluetooth. However I have never been able to import the phone book using the Import Phonebook command. Anyone else having the same problem? My phone is among those listed on the mazdahandsfree.com website as being...

Hey there, wife and I bought a 6 S Touring '09 to keep my lil cosmic blue mica MS3 '07 company in the garage. Have bought these door sill trim plates. Question is, anybody have experience with these or possibly installed them on their own? I put my own boost gauge in and I've stripped out my...

Does anyone know if there is a part that would replace the plastic steering column assembly that sit's around the ignition on a 2009-2010 6? I have the smartkey and the only real issue I have with the interior is the cheap black cover that conceals the emergency ignition key access. Those who have...

So I washed my 6 by hand for the first time since I purchased it and have to say that it was easier to clean than my smaller MS3. The wheels, front grille area and rear trunk area are sophisticated enough to be interesting to look at but simple enough not to have to worry about getting into every...

So i spent one of my Saturdays installing these LEDS on the front of the mazda. For anybody wondering these are not actully inside the headlight housing, they are inbetween the housing and the bumper! But you cant tell! BTW sorry about the poor quality i took the pic with my cell phone in the...

Question, do all the rear view auto dim/homelink mirrors have a compass in them? If so, how do I turn it on because I don't see any indication of a compass in my mirror. Thanks

Hmm... Well, it's nothing big (I Hope), but I want to change my headlight bulbs to Xenons, fog lights, and those strips (similar to an Audi, if you know what I mean.) My 3 didn't come with fog lights so would that become a problem? Any general tips/advice would be appreciated. This...

I was wondering if anyone has undertaken this yet? Any advice? Where did you mount the ballasts?

I have seen some threads regarding the Nav system in the Mazda3, however, I do find the disabled features in motion somewhat annoying. Any assistance for the not too technical owner of a new Mazda6?

Howdy - need a gen2 idea. Unfortunately, the way I normally do it (inside the driver's wheel well) is out due to how the car is built. Can someone post pics of how they did it? I wanted to do a 0/1, but couldn't even find the room for a 6ga. Thanks. -Ernie

Anyone out there put on the 3M paint protection or the polysheild (and can you tell me what the poly shield is?) I live in NE CT so I've got R.I. and Ma. available for any recommendations. Thanks in ADV. Update 3/27/09: On order for the M3 - Venture shield product for bumper, hood, mirrors....

I just got the new 2009 Mazda6, and would like to add the Illuminated door sills. I have purchased them and would like to know how to install them. If any one has any ideas please pass them along thanks! ~A

On the Mazda website, it says that the i Touring model is avaiable with cloth and leather seating surfaces. Can anybody tell me what that's about? It is similar to the seats found in the Fusion (with sport package)? Also, if anybody has a picture, please post.

Does anyone have pictures of the Oem or other mudflaps on their 6's? If anyone has it with a comet grey it'll be grey

Does anyone know of anything with either hacking the DVD player for GPS to play DVD's on the screen and actually make it a DVD video player? I've heard of people doing this with toyota's and nissan etc. and making the dvd players play DVDs. Thanks!

Has anyone changed their antenna to the Sharkfin one that comes with the touring models? I have a i SV and was considering it.

I have a simple question. I'm just wondering about the models that don't have HID lights included. Do the 2009 Mazda6's have projector style halogen headlights or are they just the 'regular' halogen lights?
