What have you done to your CX-5 today?

[Crabster]

TA-DAAAAA!!!!

So the tint is a 3M Llumar Ceramic. I only had the two front windows done. I'm really happy with the way it looks! Looks "complete" now.
I mentioned I bought window deflectors to the SA and would it be okay to put them on or wait and he said to wait 2 weeks. I don't really wanna wait that long since they came in yesterday and I'm dying to put them on but I guess I will listen and follow directions. So y'all will have to wait for THOSE pics!

She's a beauty! Mine is also white minus the roof rack.

I would wait a few days to a week before installing the window deflectors. The tint installers should have informed you how long to wait before you can lower your windows.
At least you can have tints in Texas. It's illegal in California to have tint/film on the front driver and passenger windows.
I have the front a few shades lighter than the back to fool the cops into thinking there's no tint. It doesn't look as nice but better than nothing.

Two thumbs up on us both having white cars!! LOVE the CX-5 in white.
They told me not to roll the windows down for 5 days ( in summer it's only 2) so arghh no drive-thrus! I'll have to go in for a Starbucks drink. Lol. And yeah, I'll wait on the deflectors... just wish I could put them on now.
Oh, I didn't know front tint was illegal in CA. That stinks! I like the sneaky way you think, though.

Anyone have any of these lil silicone remote covers? I kindof like them...lots of colors from which to choose too. The other day I dropped mine while walking across parking lot and thought it'd be all scratched but it wasn't. Maybe not a big deal....I like nifty lil things like this, though. Yay or nay?

In CA actual tint enforcement is minimal for 35% to 50% on front 2 windows. My CX-5 has 35%.

I have one in white and one in baby blue for my remotes. Works great. It's made of silicone so it does attract pocket lint. Happy with mine.

Sounds good to me. Does your CX-5 have the power folding mirrors, headlight washers, low profile rear headrests?

None of the above.
The mirrors have the turn signal, the BSM indicator and defrost. Headlights are Bi-Xenon with AFS. Not sure about the head rests, didn't think there would be an option.

Cool. I think I'm gonna order a couple.

Ditto for me.

The rear headrests on U.S. and Mexico models are different from Europe and Australia models which are low profile.

I have a black & white one. Except the opening us just for 2 buttons.

They're great. They do attract some lint, especially the black one shows up more.

 

[Steel Magnolia]

Thanks for the feedback! Just ordered a black and pink one.

Must be different in Canada too eh?

Yay or nay?

For me, Nay. I prefer the clean naked look and feel.

Ordered a new wheel from the "Font Motorsport" guy on this forum. I had to go off the median and got a paint scrape when I came back on. Having a repaint was like half the price of a new wheel so I'll just keep the old wheel + and old tire as a backup.

Ummm...okay. LOL

I remember when you posted about the scrape? Got any pics of the injury?

Just purchased one of these to enhance radio coverage

Plugged in a 32GB USB stick in the CX-5 to house all my music and audio books, still have room for more. Radio and Satellite (pay for radio, lol) be-gone!
