FWIW Spend the money on the lug nuts, it makes a HUGE difference.I got my rims powered coated in gloss black, plastic-dipped the logo on the centre caps, and added the McGard black chrome nuts. So worth it! Here's the link to my Stormtrooper conversion, but I've attached a pic of the wheels...

Is it possible to change the factory setting of the rear defrost from "15 minutes" to "Continuous" without going to a Dealer? For reasons unknown this is a personalisation setting that exists, but can only be performed at a dealer. Is there a button press combination that will get me into the...

Yep…briefly as I’m at work, I put a piece of masking tape, the width and length I wanted, on a big sheet of wrap. Then I slit the tape in the middle for access, then used a single hole punch to cut nice clean and smoothly round (inside) corners. Then an exacto knife to join the corners if you...

I took my shifter console off (very easy), I un-clipped all the individual pieces, and wrapped them in matte-black. Turned out great. See my more recent post for pictures.

Mine is a Canadian 2017 GT version. I will try and take a photo of the "lip" in question, but it is very small. However, when you run your fingernail across, starting on the outside bezel and going towards the centre of then screen, you can definitely feel it right at the edge. The lip (ridge)...

That’s what I’m thinking. There is definitely a slight lip all around the perimeter. I’m trying to take a good photo but it’s awkward with the lighting and angles. I can’t see how ANY original screen/glass/display would crack/flake/shatter at the edge like this. It’s behaving like all my phone...

Thanks, it was really easy to do as well. I think a big part of what makes it look so good is the rounded corners around the gear selection indicator window. The wrap should last WAY longer than Plastidip or other coating, and looks far more sleek than the stick on metal covers, and those...

Clarification on infotainment screen anti-glare coating “issue” So I have the same infotainment screen issue on my CX-5 (purchased used) that afflicts so many others. I have read the discussions here and the general consensus is replace the screen OR clean off the remainder of the anti-glare...

Got the Apple CarPlay update dealer installed yesterday. Once I got it back home I pulled the console apart to “permanently” install a nice Anker braided cable from inside the armrest, under the shifter console, and out through the corner of the front storage tray. I added a couple of rubber...

Or as I like to say "Your '22 Turbo looks like my 2017 CX-5"....LOL. Just kidding of course, but yeah that looks pretty sweet, and except for the chrome hockey stick window trim, it's almost perfect. Not really sure why they insist on keeping that splash of chrome, when everything else is...

I’ve only had them on for TWO days, LOL, but so far I love them. On day ONE we had a late winter storm here, with lots of rain and mixed wet snow. Tires behaved very well on my 55km drive home, more than I was expecting as I basically bought them for summer use only. But they seem comfortable...

Actually, my kid just told me he's ordered a big roll of gloss black wrap to do the roof of his 2015 Subaru BRZ Aozora Edition....so maybe I'll just steal a few of his off-cuts and give it a go. (y)

I'm going back on forth on doing the door handles. I'm old enough to remember when the crappiest BASE model trim levels had matte black plastic door handles, along with black bumpers and mirrors, so I have a strong negative association! But having said that, the mirrors look SO GOOD in gloss, I...

And if anyone is "on the fence" about doing the chrome hockey stick trim under the windows. Here's a side by side comparison...it's pretty obvious (to me at least) which one looks WAY better!
