My brother hopes to build a cabin in the Shenandoah mountains in the near future. Might even be off the grid.
What have you done to your CX-5 today?

Not for me, I love city life and having everything close by. 
But man those pics look like post cards!

On my 16.5 the center gray trim is irritating, its virtually black for 95% of the light conditions and then sometimes I see its not black. Mazda could have done something better there.

You might consider a vinyl wrap. That's what I did.

Chip? Or actual tune?
Enjoying the drive again today. In a bit of a decision reversal from last week or so, looks like we are keeping the CX-5 and will be letting go of the Speed3. The speed3 is fun, but the CX-5 is the better family vehicle, sad panda... Anyways, I've been driving in manual mode today and the easiest way to get around the low RPM low torque issue, is to stay on 1st/2nd gear until well past 3k RPM to avoid dipping below 3k RPM after shifting. There is quite a lot of torque in 1st and 2nd gear as long as you keep RPMs high. This is obviously harder to do in Drive mode because the transmission wants to upshift right away. Usually it would upshift to 2nd gear right away and RPMs drop below 3k.
Chip. I don't want to lose a tune through dealer servicing.
I sense it's much easier to achieve a reasonable result with diesels and chips.

Well done. It looks sensational.
Led licenseplate lights
Yesterday i placed the led lights T10 W5W 100 lumen, which i removed before trading in my 2012 Mazda CX-5.
In my brandnew CX-5 KF 2017.
Next project is to place some leds in the interiour.
But first i will buy a plastic interiour-toolset .

Railings? I would like to hear more about this!It really is; I'm in love
....And Yes the car does look sensational in that picture... I love the way that color morphs depending on surrounding lighting.(band)
^ Beautiful!

Last night, ordered Invisicord 5v USB power cord for the CX-5. It will be very nice not to have to manually turn the dashcam on or off. Mazda should really have an accessory power socket up front, instead of only having the "always on" power socket inside the center console storage.
