Recently sold my 2021 CX-5 and no longer need these JDM-spec low-profile rear headrests. Finished in black with red stitching, they offer a clean, sportier look while improving rear visibility compared to the factory units.
I believe they should fit many years (though I know 2016- 2021 for...
I was waiting for this car as I am way overdue for a new car and did not want to by the last year of the current CX-5. In fact, Mazda owes me one at employee pricing. However, I am disappointed by dropping of the turbo option. I understand why, but its a bummer that we have to wait another year...
I recently had to replace mine. I tried the Costco Interstate option to save money (I thought). I choose an AGM so they are bit more than $120. That battery failed after only 2 months. Gave it back to Costco and got a full refund (even gave my core credit back). Went to Mazda shop and bought a...
All white would be cool, but then I would need to paint any other chrome and or black to match factory pearl white and also buy white wheels. I have black Konig wheels so I decided to do a black and white motif.
Maybe the next car I will try monochrome white ;)
Sadly I do not recall what I paid, but it was not much (I think less then $250). I joked with them that they are basically just doing this to be nice. No way they made a profit. It did include the cost of new emblems. For me, free time is something have little of so having them do it was worth...
I had the local body shop do mine. They just ordered a new set, painted and installed. I've done that on my last 3 CX-5s. I tried the 'plasti-dip' and I was not happy with the result.
I hate chrome.
I am considering having the inside text painted white.
Car needs a wash apparently. ;)
I believe these are the Carbon Edition part numbers. Please double check before ordering:
KJM4507K1 MOULDING. (Left, Front)
KJM4507J1 MOULDING. (Right, Front)
The carbon edition pieces were not dark enough for me. I instead found OEM pieces in the Philippines that are piano black. Its...
I had my local guy put ceramic film on all the windows. Have since ceramic was a thing. The factory is just privacy glass and I want heat rejection. He just uses a more transparent film on the privacy glass and then matches the front windows to the rear , but I insist that he keep the fronts...
I have the oil consumption issue. Oil light came on while on a trip and oil was at the bottom of the dipstick. I told the dealer what was up as it was oil change time and they just did the change and sent me on the way. Had zero concern for the low oil level. Luckily I found this thread and went...
Mazda USA support is based in Irvine California. Last time I interacted with them they were still working from home. The issue required me calling over and over until I found a helpful rep.
Their support is totally dependent on the rep that answers the call. Some are great some not. Promises of...
I only hide it so that if I do ever have to visit with an officer roadside, he will not likely realize I have it and let me work my magic on talking him out of citing me.
I have owned a Mazdaspeed 6 (forget the year) , a CX7 (forget the year), a 2014 CX5, a 2016 CX5, a 2019 CX5 Sig and now a 2021 CX5 Sig. All vehicles have had excellent reliability and very good resale value. The Mazda and Lexus brands seem to always land in the top tier for lowest cost of...
