    What is this part and can I get it already painted?

    Ugh. My detail guy was able to buff out the headlights without too much trouble. But it'll come back. Clear coat might do the trick. CO altitude is hard on cars.

    What is this part and can I get it already painted?

    Hmm...so far not able to find one. Will look some more but at this point the risk of this part being no longer available it probably high. Bummer! To try to take this off and paint it would likely break it!

    2026 Mazda CX-5: Who’s actually getting one?

    I was just in the dealership last Friday. Got to chatting with the gal a the Service Desk about the new CX-5. She noted you can control via Alexa or Google. I would think this would get around using the touch panel, but it's a valid question if it work if the panel is having issues. I would...

    What is this part and can I get it already painted?

    Thanks for that. I'll look into this. Chances are at that price it'll cost more for someone to deal with it. Some will want to remove it and "do it right". Sand/repaint/clear coat. I would imagine that would cost more. I'm waiting to hear on pricing options. I guess one option would be to...

    What is this part and can I get it already painted?

    I had a guy, ~40 years detailing business, do a ceramic coast back in Nov/Dec. He went over the whole car first. Oddly this showed up recently. We both thought the ceramic coat would have prevented this. I've known the guy for years and trust him. Seems odd. But maybe it's the high altitude sun...

    What is this part and can I get it already painted?

    Ya, it seemed to almost happen over night. I'm considering getting a new vehicle and may give this one to my niece. Jury's still out on that.

    What is this part and can I get it already painted?

    That piece is plastic. The pic doesn't show the issues at all. Just always been big on taking care of my cars. Deciding what to do here.

    What is this part and can I get it already painted?

    Ya, that pic doesn't show the issues at all. What's odd is I had a 5 year ceramic coat put the car about 5 or so months ago. Thought this would help. Suddenly in the past couple of weeks, I guess as it's on the roof where you typically don't see it, you can see what kind of looks like sunburns...

    What is this part and can I get it already painted?

    After not quite 10 years this one plastic piece that's on the wing in the back is getting fade spots. I'm looking into getting it repainted but I'm concerned of the cost these days. I'm wondering if the part can be replaced with the original color? This is on my 2016.5 GT.

    Mazda Infotainment upgrade questions

    I think I'm at 70 currently using the AIO Mazda hack. Believe it can no longer be used after 70. Curious as to what you are seeing for changes in 74?

    Sluggish frequent pedal/throttle response. Need suggestions

    I've seen some interesting things like this along with some odd shifting on occasion. In regards to throttle I thought there was a way to reset the computer as it has learned driving habits. This car was previously owned. Maybe clear this so it can learn your driving and it will adapt better...

    Touch up paint

    I'll look into both of those. Was surprised the dealership didn't offer an option with a brush.

    Getting close for new tires

    Got another set of the Conti LX25's late August. Was happy with the first set. There were rebates on the Conti LX25's and the Pirelli Scorpion AS plus 3. Based on my research I didn't think I found enough difference to go with the Pirelli Scorpion AS plus 3 and the Conti LX25's had a better...

    Touch up paint

    I took a nice little rock chip on my passenger side. Right behind the driver's door. Good thing it's smaller than the little fingernail on my finger. It's on a 2016.5, the Blue Reflex color. I'm wondering what would work well. At the dealership they have something that you can tap as a pen to...

    Getting close for new tires

    The NW (part of the metro. They've been good. Most of my mileage is driving to work. But I think I'm close to 4/32 and with rebates on the Continental Cross Contact LX25 and the Pirelli Scorpion AS plus 3 through this month I'm looking to get these done soon. I'll have some value from the...

    My Continental Cross Contact LX25 are just about do to swap out. Thinking about get another set (was pretty happy with them and decent a few times or so CO mountain snow) but I've been seeing the Pirelli Scorpion AS plus 3 pop up. Seems the Conti's do a little better in the snow. Currently DT...

    Replacing rear wiper

    I just replaced mine. I'm in a 2016.5 GT so you'd need to verify the fit but a little tired of the prices. This got a lot of good reviews and so far it's been just fine and swaps out just like the OEM: Rear wiper
