Figured this would help someone.
I wanted the side rails (and getting the cross bars too) as I feel it completes the look. IMO it makes it look both sporty and SUV-ish at the same time I got a great price from an an online Mazda dealer who was local. - You know it's a good price when 2 other dealers parts dept couldn't match it.
These barely lined up with the Mounting screw holes and I had to slightly pull on one of them to get it to line up. So my point is that if these just barely lined up, I'm not sure how the aftermarket Chinese ones, at only $100, will fit. Maybe you've had good luck, but just a heads up for anyone looking to add these.
YMMV
