    I want to paint the wheels on my Madza CX-5 matte black, and also...

    Hey, the white car you posted is mine! Weird seeing my car show up on instagram and pinterest. Anyways, my wheels plastidipped because I wasn't sure I would like it. It's now been 2.5 years and they still look great. I may end up having them powdercoated.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Finally installed the 3M ni-doc. <a href=http://s194.photobucket.com/albums/z130/j3rmz731/?action=view&current=IMG_20131020_225853.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z130/j3rmz731/IMG_20131020_225853.jpg border=0 alt=></a>

    How do you remove the black plastic trim above the front grill?

    Thanks for the help! I ended up drilling out the rivets. I bought some rivets to replace them but they didn't fit quite right so there's nothing there now. It still feels really solid so I don't know if I'll go get bigger rivets. We'll see. Anyways thanks again! <a...

    How do you remove the black plastic trim above the front grill?

    So I want to vinyl wrap the black plastic exterior trim above the front grill/emblem but can't seem to figure out how to remove it without removing the entire bumper or drilling out the pop rivets. I messaged a few folks who vinyl wrapped it one response was to apply vinyl on while the piece is...

    Baby Seats in CX-5

    Just let her drive, it's much easier. On a serious note, I'm interested too. I ended up with a B-Safe in the center also. So far so good. I have some time before I need to get a convertible, but starting to research already. Anybody stick a Recaro baby seat in there? What's the recommended...

    DIY idea: Carbon Fiber Wrap

    Looks great! Nice and subtle. I'm going to give this a try too. Any idea how difficult it is to remove if I change my mind and don't like it anymore?

    The CX-5 LED Lighting Thread

    They are not as bright as the stock halogen fogs but they don't bother me that much. From what i understand, the only way to get them brighter is to remove the shield in the fog housing and get a bigger led bulb.

    The CX-5 LED Lighting Thread

    I wasn't expecting it to be that blue. The photo on their site is deceiving. <a href=http://s194.photobucket.com/albums/z130/j3rmz731/?action=view&current=Screenshot_2013-09-21-07-17-11.png target=_blank><img...

    The CX-5 LED Lighting Thread

    So I ended up going with the corksport kit for the interior leds (they look great) and ijdm toy to replace my stock drl and fogs. I chose white and even the box says white but they still look bluish. Not sure if I like it. <a...

    CX-5 Ebay Fog Assembly DRLs

    I actually just squeeze the tabs from the back and the cover popped out enough that I didn't have to use a flathead and risk scratching paint. Worked pretty well for both sides.

    On Track to Purchase a CX5....then I saw a 2014 Jeep Cherokee

    Although I really do like the styling of the current gen JGC, this new one is visually unappealing to me. This video of the current gen also scared me lol. http://youtu.be/-MNPJRncf50

    CX-5 Ebay Fog Assembly DRLs

    Alright so I finally found some time to install these. I went the easier route and picked up a fuse tap, no splicing required if you want the led drls on all the time like Nis240sxt, which is what I did. It took maybe 35 min to do the whole thing. I didn't remove the bumper, but installed...

    CX-5 Ebay Fog Assembly DRLs

    The old directions are not confusing to me. I was just trying to do it the new way since I figured they changed it for a reason. I've done minor electrical work with cars before, just not on the cx5 so I was just looking to see if anyone knew where the positive ACC wire was, and the best place...

    CX-5 Ebay Fog Assembly DRLs

    I'd only leave a negative comment if the wrong parts were sent, but that's not the case, so I won't be leaving a negative comment. I apologize for derailing this thread so much, I promise to post pics and my review once I get these installed. Anyways, I received a response from TopSage and...

    CX-5 Ebay Fog Assembly DRLs

    Thanks! I knew something wasn't right! I'm guessing I don't need that black box in my previous picture of the red wire? It has a fuse in it also. Hopefully they'll send me the right piece, otherwise I'll shell out a few bucks to for a fuse tap myself and leave a comment in their eBay review.

    CX-5 Ebay Fog Assembly DRLs

    Here's the instructions that came with mine. Mine is from Top Sage also but my instructions are different. Maybe I'm blind, but I still don't see anything in the instructions about a 10A fuse. http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z130/j3rmz731/20130905_090009.jpg...

    CX-5 Ebay Fog Assembly DRLs

    Where did you get these instructions from? I purchased these using the eBay link that OP posted and my instructions are different from the one you posted. Nowhere in mine does it say to remove 10A red fuse, and connect 10A fuse immediately afterwards (?). What's the point of removing the fuse...

    Galaxy S3 text message readout issue

    So I have my S3 paired to my 2014 cx5 gt with tech package. It used to read my text message out loud to me after I received them and hit the little speaker button, but it stopped working for some reason. I already tried to un-pair, 'forget' the device, and re-paired the device and still the same...
