Just got mine set from Canada Post this past Friday. It took about 12 business days to arrive from China. NO duties/brokerage fees/taxes/etc. as I stated before. They look pretty good to me. Fast shipping in my opinion. I expected to wait a lot longer for these as I don't even have my car yet. LOL I will have them installed when I pickup the CX-5 at the end of the August.
Thank you for the update. Looking forward to seeing the pics!

Pictures from the wheel well side? Do these use the pre-perforated holes in the fender plastics?

Mudflaps come predrilled. This is a poor photo of a rear. I used 2 existing plastic push rivets that our CX 5's already have. A screw at the top (supplied with flaps) and there is an existing screw used in the underside of each rear.
I don't have photos of the fronts, but I used 2 existing plastic push rivets and 1 screw (supplied) at the top of each front flap.
Decided to gave these a try. Aliexpress was having a sale, $21.59 shipped so why not.

I think makes the CX-5 look more muscular and wider, plus its functional....

One word for the Chinese mud flaps I bought................JUNK. The Chinese mudflaps are thick at the installation holes, the holes have to be enlarged, and the OEM push rivets are not long enough to secure the mudflap to the vehicle.............others may have had better luck, but mine are JUNK.

They are JUNK because they are too thick? That's a new one

Too thick and too much junk in the trunkThey are JUNK because they are too thick? That's a new one
It's not junk.. yes you do have to enlarge the holes IF you want to use the push rivets (you don't have to, they aren't designed for it) and yes you do need to push the rivets in pretty hard to make them click in... but they do click in... Working on a car is never easy, you're probably going to get dirty. I'll ask your mumma to get some lemonade ready for you (boom07)
I just open a packet of popcorn-waiting for the reply(burp)
I purchased a set of mud flaps off of ebay that have CX5 embossed in the rear flaps. They are junk. You can't use the factory push pins to secure them. I had to make a couple of trips to an auto parts store trying to find push pins long enough to fit thru the mudflaps and the molding. I found that push pins labeled for GM bumper trim where long enough to go thru both and at least felt secure. I also had to buy a package of number 10 speed nuts and screws. So about another $15 worth of hardware to install them. The rears fit okay but the front have a gap and I tried to adjust them in but there isn't much adjustment. I think I'll leave them on for winter but next summer I'll be getting factory mudflaps. I'll mark this up as a lesson learned.
Overall, a very easy install using the 2 plastic clips from (each mudguard) already on the car. No enlarging the holes necessary on my chinese mudguards. I used one screw for each mudguard that came with the package to secure the top. The two rears have an OEM screw that you take out and put back on when the rears are in place. Great product for the price over OEM. I put some tire shine on the guards and they matched well with the rest of the plastic lowers.
