Just installed a hood strut kit today, works and looks great.
A high quality kit, from Russia.

Also installed a new hood deflector and a set of old Bosch fog lights I had on an old Ford Escort GT in the mid 90's,( Wow! has it been that long.) yes, the lenses are made of glass, (how's that for retro lighting?) and far out perform the factory lights, much more visibility in the fog.

Hmmm, interesting! That's a bit different from the ones I have (and all the others I've seen). Yours has 2 brackets each side, whereas mine/the others just use a 'bolt' into the fender at the bottom. But it looks like you have to cut the rubber at the sides for yours to fit. Not sure I like that idea

That one little notch in that rubber piece definitely won't hurt anything.

I really didn't like to cut into the rubber, but after I installed the hood struts I was like "ah...no big deal". Very happy with the results.Hmmm, interesting!

Exactly. I probably would even just cut it so as to not leave the little flap hanging there.
Did you have to remove the entire bumper to remove the grill chrome?
The dealership did the wrap for me, it was part of the agreement when I purchased it so I'm not sure about the bumper but I don't think so. It's a wrap on top of the chrome and a guy specializing in it did the work (I expect he has a tool that lets him apply pressure in hard to reach areas). Someone who has done their own wrap or seen it done would know more.

I've added few things to my car, too, a timid tentative. I would rather call it cosmetising. The car is relatively new and I don't want to drill any hole in it. Yet. Steering wheel cover, red start button, a cellphone holder, a small flag, a red frame for the licence plate, illuminated floating hub caps, new tires, rear splash guards and puddle lights. The puddle lights are more like a temporary compromise until I find a proper kit that would require minimum drilling or perhaps Mazda will offer something for CX-5 in the near future.

I saw something just like this for sale in the US and really wanted it! Since the 2021 model is new, the stored doesn't verify it'll fit. I figure those black strips beside the fog lights are unchanged from the 2020 so I'll probably get
Thanks

Added a phone mount mentioned in another thread.

Snaps right on, fits tight and the magnet is strong and holds well.

I noticed you had Michelin Tires, do they ride any smoother than the Toyos?
