Hey friends! I've had my stick-shift 2013 Mazda5 for 2 years now and I'm itching to make it unique - mostly cosmetic stuff. Any recommendations? I'm thinking different rear lights and head lights. It has to be relatively inexpensive and tasteful. I'm not planning on spending a fortune on wheels and tires (though I would have loved to if I had the money). And yeah, the sound system is quite bad - any recommendations there?
Itching to customize my 2013 Mazda5

I was in the SAME boat as you. The beauty, A fair bit of the speed3 and regular 3 stuff fits. Chunky sway bar for the rear, and HR makes Mazda5 SPECIFIC lowering springs (if that's your thing). I've been toying wiht doing the sound system on mine as well. I grabbed a 5zigen catback off fleabay for a 3, or maybe a speed3 I can't recall, and took it to the local exhaust shop and had them massage it. I've looked for different headlights, but have found jack...nada...nil. Tailights...meh I kinda like the stock ones. The rear motor mount can be found from different suppliers. OOOH and there are LED DRL fog light inserts on ebay too. Brings the car to like 2017 at least hahaha.
It's dangerous to go alone in the dark.
Here, take this: What have you done to your Mazda5 today?
(also works for 2nd gen)

Sorry to dissapoint zoomies100, but there isn't any different lights for Mazda 5. 
USDM lights are basically same as EUDM and JDM, only difference is that you have that amber reflector in your headlights.
And you dont have rear foglight, so both of your trunklid lights are clear.
EUDM and JDM have rearfog, so we have one light red in trunklid.
I have seen eyebrowns for Mazda 5, they might be tasteful.
Then this ezlip or samurai lip in front is pretty nice.
And for the rear bumper you can find from aliexpress these little corner lip thingys.
Other easy/cheap is debadging trunklid, or painting emblems black, or body color.
Mirrorcovers can be wrapped/painted to gloss black.
Or if you like chrome, there are chrome covers for mirrors and door handles.
The Blooms have done nice write up here for hifi upgrade, you should check that out for more information in that area.
