[QUOTE=KrayzieFox;394194] Little kids love my car too, I always see them pointing to their parents from the back seats or staring out the window waving at me, etc.

the front **** turns the front of the seat up, the rear **** turns the rear of the seat up - i keep both all the way down for better weight distribution

Thanks. For some reason the seller took the seats completely apart, and the front **** needs some adjustment to work.

i "fixed" my cargo net. nothing was actually 'wrong' with it, i just didn't like Mazda's design of for the lower mounting points. if you have one, you know that the lower points mount up through some blind, rubber nut-grommets. well, i removed those, bought some nuts and plastic washers and fixed it more securely. now, when i go to unhook the net from the holder, it doesn't feel like it wants to pull out.

sedan cargo net is strange..

P5 one straps down to the 4 corners of the trunk and just holds stuff down against the floor. On the sedan, doesn't it attach kinda to the rear (closest to the rear of the car) wall at the bottom and top?

yeah, it clips to the rear cargo finisher panel. the top fasteners replace the two top push-clips that hold the panel at the top, and for the bottom net clips you have to drill two holes into the panel. then, mazda has you put two rubber "speed" nuts into those holes and screw the clips into those. i basically got rid of the rubber "speed" nuts and replaced them with real nuts and some big, wide plastic washers.

Those seats look mad hawt! Good work. Also, the gauges looks great with the rings on black faces!

I have my daveb rings on the silver gauges, but they dont pop out that much!

Are you going to replace all the beige stuff, too? It's looking a bit urban camouflage at this point.
