Was getting sick of the black color, took out the spray paint and tried to paint her white

^^ Your and mine needs a car wash badly to wash away all the salt. Maybe another week of this polar vortex weather.

 

[Steel Magnolia]

Gave her a nice wash and vaccuum! Also put a white "UH" decal on back window. (University of Houston not Uhhhh!")

Got the all weather cargo tray. Picking up retractable cargo cover this week.
I was hoping to have a set of the Maxpider Kagu all weather mats by now but Etrailer tells me they're still out.
Considering front and rear window deflectors from Weathertech.

I am too! Was waiting for payday to order them...ooh, it's today!!

Today two things came in that I ordered...a lil Navi screen protector from NuShield and an expensive "windshield reflector" from Heatshield. Heard good things about it though, so I got it.

i started to change the oil but wasn't comfortable with trying to manipulate the filter/plug with the clearance of my floorjack/jackstands. gonna go to the auto hobby shop on base tomorrow and use a lift to do it.

Order the window deflectors directly from Weathertech. $99 + shipping includes front & rear.
Other sites wanted close to $80 just for the fronts. Still trying to decide between light or dark.
Dark made in Germany. Light is US DOT approved. Different materials?

Thanks! Yes, I was happy with the Weathertech price. I think I'm going for the dark.

Nicely done (manual version)!

I'd like to see something like that for our auto tranny versions, mine is pretty boring as-is...

Has anyone yet determined if the newer (2014 Mazda 3) style shifter is retrofittable to earlier CX-5s?

 

[CX-SV]

^ Good question, because I do like the shape of the 2014 3 shifter. But I'd like a bit more bling (or in the case of CX-5, a little more of the matching brushed aluminum trim on it).

I was sitting at a stoplight just yesterday musing about why in the world (other than cost!) Mazda chose such cheap components for the shifter on their much-vaunted SkyActiv autobox?!

Yes, the cheapo shifter knob contrasts to the nice leather steering wheel in my GT that's actually nicer than most Mercedes steering wheels.

The car has arrived !! !!! I saw him yesterday-evening, the dealer has put 7 x 17 Borbets LV5 on it with wintertyres 225/65/17 !! So I have 4 original wheels ten-spokes Mazda 7 x 17 with 225/65/17 to trade for the 20 inch Oxxo`s.
Car looks amazing in the light , the flakes of the crystal white pearl tone is beautiful !! Saturday the 1 of februari we can get the car, so the photo`s will show up later in the week.......
