What have you done to your CX-5 today?

Dropped off the wheels, at the painter and later on, I have installed the lateral links, that I have made.
I need to order new center caps, because one tab, got somehow broken off. I also don't need the Audi logo on them, I need to find some smooth ones without logos.
Tomorrow, if the shop can take me in, I will have the results from the alignment.

That much I have cut out from the original lateral link(2-1/4"):

I have driven it on the freeway and I'm still here.

After you get some more miles on them an are able to assess how well they stay set etc, I may be interested in buying a pair. I still have my unmodified mazda 6 camber arm and I'm hoping to install my coil over in the next two weeks. Now that you are lowered, change out that poopy rear sway.. you'll be surprised, even on the less aggressive setting, especially once you get your wider tires on.
 
Gave her a hand wash and a mini-detail, including polishing the exhaust tips. Looks much better.

pics or it didn't happen. also I am selling a jbr dry flow panel filter, < 100mi. I used it for data logging to compare flow to an SRI/stock with a tune and calibrated maf. I no longer need it as I use my SRI. $40 shipped USA. Pm for details.

Drove the car, up to 85 for a short distance, I had pretty harsh pits, on the freeway and I'm still here(home and not in the hospital).
The alignment shop, could not take me in Saturday and unfortunately, next week I won't have time to do an alignment. I'm moving on Friday.

I got jealous of the '16 folks and their LED DRLs, so I added some on my old ride. They're much brighter than OEM [emoji28]

Nice upgrade! We're did you source them?

Thank you sir. I got them on Amazon <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EDP3DRA/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1430244547&sr=8-1&keywords=genssi+p13w&pi=AC_SX200_QL40&dpPl=1&dpID=41dNU23LqzL&ref=plSrch"> here</a>
 
I got the rear cargo cover and put it in and had the dealer do the pre-delivery check on the vehicle, which they never did when I bought it Saturday. Going to go in today and test my bike trays on a factory rack that they have on the lot. I received conflicting reports as to what the actual distance is from the front cross bars to the rear hatch. Some say 45.5" others say 47.5" and those 2" make all the difference in the world. I'll have them look at my rocking front seat as well.
 
I made a simple addition to my front console storage area on my '16 cx-5 for LED lights. i'm only using one of the two USB ports in the front and i decided to use one of those USB reading lights like this:

it's simple enough and i didn't have to go through the trouble of installing an LED strip and wiring it in. here's the before and after (sorry for the orientation lol) :

I also completely ran a light I usually floor it to, and turns green just before I go under it
