I didn't bother because it was less then $30 and the shipping was free. I didn't really expect it to be very good given the price tag.

Do you notice any difference with the windshield tint at all? My main concern is night time visibility, but I would like some UV protection.

There is a very slight difference. For example, night driving doesn't bother me at all and i can drive toward the sunset without it bothering me as much as it used to. Also my AC is always on level one since i got the tint. thats in 90 degree southern cali weather.

I have two questions.
1. Does anyone have experience plasti dipping the front and rear emblems? If so, how did you mask off the emblems? I would imagine you can't take the emblems off and put them back on very easily.
2. Has anyone installed LED headlights and running lights on a CX-5 sport? I hate the stock bulbs.
Thanks guys

I can answer 1- I dipped my front emblem and I did remove the whole emblem. I took off my bumper to install a bug guard in front of my radiator, so since I was there the emblem pops off with tabs. however, it is the long way to dip just an emblem. I'll mask off the back half of the hatch when I do my rear. Just use common sense and mask off any place on the car you don't want over spray on. You can go to a Dollar Store and buy clear sheeting and tape cheaply.
I ordered two P13W 11 Watt 360 degrees Cree LED lamps for the DRL in the stock unit, against the Xenon-unit, soon I `ll make some pics.......... (I hate the accessoire with DRL above the foglights......(blarf) )

You can also get cheap pork and beans there for lunch and midnight snack.
I just taped off my emblems for the plastdip, see pics attached. I had debadged the back, but decided to put the AWD emblem back on, just in a different location.
I don't have the LED headlights or fogs, but I did install CREE P13W DRL which did not fit properly so I had to make a minor adjustment to them and use a small hose clamp to keep them in place. I've attached a pic of those too, but it's at night.
Djsiva, there are two screws, you'll have to loosen, then the P13W LEDs fits....after that you'll have to tighten the screws again.....
The Crees are just fine ! Next week I'll become the same LEDs for DRL.......

I always enjoy a Stella. Stay thirsty my friend! (drinks)
Just mask around the emblem, apply 3 or 4 plastidip layers, then peel off the area around the emblem not masked
