    2017 CX-5 Sun Visors aka Side Window Deflectors

    Center Console Cover Plate

    Here is what I purchased from eBay (shipped from China) for $35. Took 2 weeks from order to delivery. The surface is shiny unlike the door panel which is matt finish. The simulated wood grain is finer. The holes and cut-outs fit perfectly. The tape at the back looks like 3M. Overall I am happy.
