What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

[BPboiler3]

Installed the rear bumper step plate (rear bumper mustache) this morning

That's why my dealer only puts license plate holders with their name. I hate dealer stick on name plates on new cars. I remember when I bought a brand new Olds Alero in 2001 it had a big sign from the dealer. I hate that. Who cares where you bought the car from. How did you remove yours?

Yesterday, technically. I went through the hell of changing the cabin air filter and totally understood why the dealer charges over $100US for the job. What an ordeal!

Sounds like what it took to replace the cabin filter on my 2000 Honda Accord. Here is a video on youtube showing what it took. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMRvqYsI2k4

haha nice shot

got the beast tinted today...20% all around the 11 winders

 

[hurschel]

Got mine tinted today too, 35 on driver and passenger door, 20 on the others, although I really don't like the way it looks, I had a strip across the top of the windshield to about an inch below the mirror, doesn't show up as bad as I thought it would.

what dont you like about the way it looks?

 

[asewell]

Just had my AC compressor replaced at 75k Now, bulb out behind instrument panel. Can someone post directions on how to replace it?

 

[hurschel]

what dont you like about the way it looks?

I just thought it would look better if the tint faded to clear along the bottom, would look more like a factory windshield tint. The 35% is not as dark as I thought it would be and with the windows tinted, from the outside, the band across the windshield is not as noticeable as I thought it would be so I'm satisfied with it overall.

Finally found how to post pics, here's a couple after the tint.

hurschel, the sides look great! I can only kind of see the windshield strip in those pics, but it looks good to me.

 

[1WICKED6]

I think the tint job looks great...the strip looks like it belongs there

 

[BPboiler3]

front looks darker than 35 too

 

[hurschel]

Looking at the pictures, there doesn't seem to be much difference in the front. I'll get some more pictures with the sun out and at different angles.

 

[hurschel]

Don't seem to be much difference looking from the side, but the one from the rear looks like the front is a little lighter

They peeled right off with heat from the sun!

 

[hurschel]

Got the vent shades on before it turned cold again, ordered the rear bumper guard and hitch W/wiring kit on Friday. I'll post pics when it warms up again and I get it together.

Tried installing 68 SMD LEDs for the Hi beam, FAIL not as bright as the halogens, I would like my hi beams to be white but dont like HID as I cant use HID to flash (when passing) HID tend to start dim and slowlly brightens in about 3 sec. Well maybe will just have to try those NOKYA 55w super whites.

Tried to change to my summer tires yesterday, I lost my OEM wheel lock key. I cant believe the dealership *(most) charges $106+ just to break the old locks and instal new ones. I'll try Ajax mazda on monday
