I picked mine up on Amazon.com; the manufacturer was Beautost. The pieces are attached with tape and they fit pretty snug to the body. After having one of them come loose on the very end of the tip, I removed them both and replaced the tape with 3M tape. No problems since. They've been on for about 7 months.
What have you done to your CX-5 today?

Absolutely no problem after replacing the tape. The strip fits very tightly to the body.
Water and dirt do not cause any problems either.
Sorry that I can't recommend any particular seller. It's been too long since I got this and don't remember. However, I did get it off of ebay from a Chinese seller. Aren't they all.
BTW, the added chrome surround on the top of the side windows is real stainless steel.

Yes, everything is from China.
I notice a lot of folks replace their interior trim as well.
It seems I've stepped into a parallel universe when I bought this car.

I did a few interior changes too. Nothing very drastic.

Congrats! That's a great color.
Bought a red one to park next to my silver one.
Must be nice having deep pockets. Cool Windshield tints too LOL.

I washed it and threw some turtle-wax Shine and Seal on it.

1 of the 3 oil pump bolt fell into oil pump chain and broke it. Musta have forgot to torque it after the rod bearing change a few weeks ago

The joys of wrenching! Just to balance out the satisfaction of it.

Just purchased a white (black interior) 2017 CX5 Touring with Preferred Package + Apple CarPlay. So far, LOVE IT! This thread has been SUPER helpful. So far,I recently purchased a few things for the car (see below), and I'll post a picture once I get everything on it.
- AutofitPro rear bumper protector
- Front, rear, and cargo OEM all-season floor mats
- Shine Armor Fortify Quick Coat wax
Otherwise, any other tips/tricks or recommendations are welcomed!

Wetted with light spray from hose, then sprayed with Adam's APC, used lugnut brush to agitate dirt, then rinsed. Used air gun to dry. On cold engine with alternator covered with plastic bag. Low pressure water only. Then dressed interior vinyl and rubber.

That's a good idea to keep the engine clean. I understand it helps the engine run cooler.

I don't know about running cooler, but it makes me feel better knowing it's clean.

It's amazing how much cleaner modern engines stay compared to the old gas belching, oil puking, grease oozing monsters.

Also makes it much more pleasant to work on.

It's also amazing that we used to pop open the champagne should we be fortunate enough to hit 100,000 miles whereas today that's pretty much a minimum expectation.

Well washed the car and observed some horrendous new paint chipping on my hood.
I wonder how expensive it would be to just get a new hood and then do what I should have done in the beginning which is to protect it.
