www.stylinconcepts.com

Stylin Concepts, formerly Stylin Compacts is loacated in Independence. They sell a lot of truck/SUV and Honda parts. A few Mazda things.

Summit Racing's retail store is in Tallmage, which is less than an hour away. They've got some good stuff for all makes and models.

How far east are you?

There's a Murray's on Mayfield Road in Mayfield Heights, and they're way better than AutoZone. Even Advance Auto Parts is better than AZ for most things.

There are approximately three Mazda dealers in the Cleveland area: Bedford, Cuyahoga Falls, and Parma.

Bedford is the high-volume dealer, and they're most likely to have the MSP, but I drove past them today and I didn't see one. (Although it would likely be indoors and I couldn't really see in.) They also have loaner cars if you need to drop yours off for service.

The guys in Cuyahoga Falls are real nice, and that's where I bought both my Pro's. Cascade Mazda. They also sell Porsche and Audi, and they recently added Subaru to the line.

The guys in Parma were quite rude to me 10 years ago when I was Pro shopping, so I haven't been back.

I actually bought my car from Bedford back in June. Bedford had an MSP last time I was there (about 2 weeks ago)... I sat in a black one in their showroom. They said they've sold several to employees already, and they've had several others go through. I think there were like 15 people vying for that one in the showroom. I'm guessing they won't let it go until they get the next one so that they'll always have one to show. I don't even think that they're letting anyone testdrive them before they buy them.

I've been to Murray's and Advance. They are ok for batteries, car wax, license plate covers... that kind of thing. I was looking for more of a "tuning", import shop where I could look at some of the things in person I was looking at on eBay. See how they look in my car, that kind of thing. I think I'll check out Stylin Concepts next. Thanks for your reply.

I'm in the Cleveland Heights/ University Circle area, by the way.

Well, man, you're in Cleveland, not California, so don't expect too much.

Stylin Concepts' showroom is only open until 6pm, I believe. I think they are open on Saturday, though.

If you find any other places, let me know.


I used to live in UH.
