    Soul red touch up paint

    I haven't yet attempted to do a touchup yet. No excuses, I just keep putting it off. I need to do it before going on a road trip in October. I have all of the stuff that I need to do the job, it just scares me a bit as I have never done something so complicated to the paint job of a new car before.

    Where is the Odometer?

    Just another data point. In my '19 GT-R, the main odometer is right where it should be, between the speedo and the fuel gauge. I just confirmed that none of the display configurations remove it, so it's persistent.

    CX-5 2019 Signature Off-road build

    Considering where I live, I will consider a tire like this is a couple of years when it's time to upgrade. Thanks for the report on fit and noise.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Went back out today to install some of the cut-off foam from the deck cover around the subwoofer and under the too-long bolt until I get the bolt cut shorter. I snapped a pic of the installed tire this time. It would be nice to be able to get the 185/70R17 regular driving tire that's available...

    Can't find proper steel wheel for Kuhmo T165/90R17 T121 tire

    Went back out today to install some of the cut-off foam around the subwoofer and under the too-long bolt until I get the bolt cut shorter. I snapped a pic this time. It would be nice to be able to get the 185/70R17 regular driving tire that yrwei52 refers to above. There is definitely room for it.

    Using mats from Gen 1 in Gen 2

    I can highly recommend the Canadian OEM mats available from Scarboro Mazda in Toronto here. Since your old rear mat fits, you would only need the fronts. These fit absolutely perfectly in my '19 including full coverage on the dead pedal and are super easy to clean. As to the rear cargo tray, I...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    When I was in my 30s and 40s, I usually ordered my cars and specified no dealer logos on the cars. This was off the dealer lot, I turn 69 this month and I really don't care anymore.

    Installed a bumper guard and replaced the sad, sad, stock spare with a 165/90R17.

    Can't find proper steel wheel for Kuhmo T165/90R17 T121 tire

    I received the wheel and tire this week and had Discount Tire mount it for me yesterday. The check-in guy looked up the tire and wheel and questioned the match based on what his computer told him. It went up to the manager who looked at another chart confirmed that it was OK. I did the...

    Bumper guard obstructing power lift gate

    I just installed the guard I got thru Amazon. We're headed out camping in a week and I wanted to make sure that we didn't damage the bumper paint. I think it looks just fine. Lift gate works, too!
