What did you just buy?

[tmz_99]

just ordered a body kit from Admiration in Japan.... front/rear/side skirts (with LED running lights/extra brake light), wheel arches and grille.. didn't get the eyelids (as I'm hoping 2016 headlights will fit) or the rear spoiler (overkill). The wife's car is black so should look fairly similar...

delivery will be 3-4 weeks then time to fit..

Kind of hard to see how those flares stick out. I would be interested in some, but the examples I've seen aren't oem match, or they are made for a body kit.

only a 10mm increase per wheel arch.. so super-small effect....but having looked at the kit with and without the flares I think that the subtle change really does make a reasonable difference....
The Arnage ( http://autostyle-usa.com/?pkey=item_info&i_code=TOL42421630001&car_url=cx-5 ) ones add 30mm per side, so a lot more dramatic.....

I would want a small flare myself, but often times the photos posted are at horrible angles.

Bought a new grill from Walmart because the table top Weber I had often didn't burn hot enough when closed (oxygen port not enough). It cooks well and it was only $40. I put some hot dogs on the warmer (meant to be used when open) closed it, and when I opened (quickly) it I forgot they were on there and they fell on the floor lol.

I went to close out a credit card today and they said I had like 38,000 reward points I hadn't used. I combined that with some points I had on another card then linked my account to Amazon and went shopping. So, for free, I got OEM Cargo Cover, Rear Bumper Guard, Door Sill Trim Plates and Valve Stem Caps!

That's a nice surprise!!

Dang, that's a lot of points. You could have bought your lowering springs with that.

Chris! Not as adventurous with my rig but I do like to follow your mods.

I don't think I'm going to lower it. I'm sure it handles better lower to the ground but it's just not my thing. I'd like to keep the Utility part of CUV. Even though it's a FWD I'm sure I'll find myself on some rough dirt road at some point and be happy for the ground clearance.

Lights, lateral locks and camber gauge came in today. I will install the lights tomorrow.

 

[Bob-Loblaw]

Gonna look tight. Dig those lights.

Chris, how long did the shipment take? Can't wait to see them installed.

 

[jomar23CX5]

Chris those light will look real good with your white CX5

 

[Chris_Top_Her]

About 2 weeks and thanks. Everything is plug and play except for wiring the 3rd brake light. I think I can tell what to do from the picture, but ofc it's all in Japanese.

Damn, I wish I would have seen this before I bought mine. http://www.gearbest.com/action-cameras/pp_77094.html I only paid $35 for the one I have, quality is good but battery life is very poor. I really only use it for flight but it would be nice to have less wires in the cockpit.
