What have you done to your CX-5 today?

[CX5_QC]

Nice!

The hood protector barely shows.

Is that an OEM mazda part ?

How much and where dis u get it ?

3M to install ?

Here is what I installed with the help of my brother. We finished up just before the rain started.

Curt class2 hitch

That's a good looking car.

Was finally able to get the new tires mounted. I'll reserve judgment on their sporting pretensions until I (more likely the wife) scrubs the tread surface of the release compound, but first impression is they ride nicely and are quiet.

General AltiMAX RT43 225/55R19 99H tires you installed are my preferred replacement tires when the time comes. I like them having 51 psi maximum pressure like OEM Toyo's. And I have them on our Honda CR-V and I like them a lot. Please report back your experience on these tires whenever you have a chance, preferably under the "General Altimax Rt43?" topic in "CX-5 Wheels, Tires, Brakes & Suspension" section.

Looks like a good tire for some off-road options.

What roof racks do you have with wind shield? I have Thule roof racks with no wind shield and they make a ton of noise. I took them off because of it. Do you have the same issue, or is it because of the spacing between bars l, or does the wind shield help that much?

The Cross bars that I have are Yakima. Yes they do make a decent amount of noise without the wind faring. With the wind faring on, its like the cross bars are not even on the car. The car is again very quiet in the cabin, but that all changes with my CorkSport exhaust which I love.

Cool a fellow CT CX5'er, looks nice, I'm in Fairfield!

Feel free to check out CT Mazda on Facebook. We attend a lot of meets and shows together.

Installed the .FLAC support from the Mazda Infotainment Project. Works pretty sweet but I'm not seeing album art, yet. Gonna google around see if anyone else has the same problem.

Can you take a few good pics of how the faring sits. I'm concerned about buying one and it doesn't reduce the wind noise.

It would look exactly like this.



The two clips on the crossbar at each end where the silver bolt is has a plastic wing nut on the underside that you can loosen and tighten the faring to the crossbar. The other two mounts just clip around the crossbar. Trust me it mounts fine, and reduces the noise of the bars. I don't even have a genuine yakima or thule one and my aftermarket one is perfect.

So what after market brand are you using, I'm not into advertising brands on my car.
