    Door panel separate?

    I ended up claiming with insurance since they will repair/replace the cuts and scratches on my leather seat from this as well. I don't think I can stomach $2k worth of repair since I only started working in March, and with seats included, it might as well be in the $1000 range. The thing that...

    Door panel separate?

    Does anyone know if there'll be ways to acquire just that piece, maybe from another source like eBay? Maybe a junk yard? I saw this on eBay but looks like they're selling the entire door...

    Door panel separate?

    That's terrible news. I hate how they're bundling things like that.

    Door panel separate?

    Long story short, my car was broken into from the rear passenger door window, and I'm now left with this mess to clean up. I have to decide to go with my insurance ($500 deductible) or fix it myself. The window replacement was quoted to me around $200 from a few places. But the problem is the...

    RE-Amemiya CX-5 Front Bumper

    I've been wanting a new front bumper, since I'm not a huge fan of the original bumper. This one looks decent, but the shipping is ridiculous lol. Anyone know any other good bumper/body kits out there? Google didn't return much useful things.

    Key fob battery life?

    What would be the reason to keep it from getting recognized though? Car sense the key, disables it, we reactivate it later once open the door with spare key.

    Key fob battery life?

    Haha tinfoil. Sorry, can't help but think about tinfoil hats. I'm assume aluminum foil works as well? If so that's a great idea to hide the spare on the car instead of having it sit uselessly at home. Wait, is there a need to wrap it? If we leave the spare in the car hidden, it'll get...

    CX-5 Roof Racks

    I check with the tape and 36" wide canoe is going to sit mighty close to the edge of the crossbar, maybe even past the flat part and rest on the bend. Looks like I'm going to have to find some aftermarket ones. Already ordered the OEM rails today. *sigh* $300 for 2 bars seem like such a rip...

    CX-5 Roof Racks

    Bumping this thread for more questions. I'm looking to mount 14-15' canoe and possibly attaching a roof bike rack too. I know I'm probably going to get the factory rails (or maybe alternative aftermarket rails if cost effective). Because I like the looks of the rail, and I also would like the...

    My Carbon Fiber Solution To Ugly Dash Trim

    Yeah, the glossy finish seems like would have the same finger prints problem as the current finish.

    CX-5 Windshield Sun Shade / Visor

    Hmm. Guess I'll have to make a new account for my big purchase.

    Dash cover

    Sun visor? If you have non-black dash, it'll reflect light back to windshield and makes it hard to see.

    Question about oil change

    I usually just pour vege oil in my gas tank every time I fill up. That way, I always have new oil and never have to go in to change.

    CX-5 Windshield Sun Shade / Visor

    Here's my impression after the first day of test. I'm at Houston Texas, and the weather is somewhat sunny, with some clouds. My car is still pretty hot with this on, although I'm aware of its limitation, since car gets heat up from roof and other area exposed to sun. What I did notice tho, was...

    Why can't smart key fobs be smaller?

    It's got a keychain ring, put it with your other keys. Door keys are small, and most people find ways to not lose them that often. And it would be an optional thing instead of standard.

    Why can't smart key fobs be smaller?

    Yeah, a smaller fob just built around the key, with just enough room for the the battery and sensor.

    CX-5 Windshield Sun Shade / Visor

    Yup, looks a lot nicer than wrinkled foil texture. Wish it was a bit more reflective, but the color option was definitely nice. I'm looking to get a big Mazda logo sticker on it, but would have to do it in halves across the middle fold.

    Why can't smart key fobs be smaller?

    You can chain them to your other keys though. It's just so bulky and uncomfortable to keep in pocket.
