Last weekend I put new shoes on my baby - Contis ProContact RX. It took 3.5 hours to mount, balance and align. However, it was worth the wait. Compared to the Fuzions I had on before, night and day difference.
I bet your 'baby' really loves those new 'shoes'. It's kind of sad you didn't buy the best for your 'child' though.

In order to replace the transmission mount, you have to remove the battery (amongst many other things to get access. The mount is pretty much directly underneath the battery.^ i'm SO confused. why'd you disconnect the battery to do completely non-electrical items? Just then to somehow foul the plugs. I did the rear motor mount/cabin air filter combo couple of months back and def did not disconnect the battery cable.
my bad, selective reading comprehension on my part. I'm about to do the tranny mount myself and should've known better.In order to replace the transmission mount, you have to remove the battery (amongst many other things to get access. The mount is pretty much directly underneath the battery.
even for 12+ ? (edit: just read upfix.com site and ... gosh, I guess they never did insulate/move the TCM during revisions.) I never felt like the TCM relocate to the firewall was a "good" solution, I like what this gent did here, with the brackets:If you have an automatic, there's no better time to relocate the TCM to the firewall.
How I did mine, I placed rubber fuel line over the brake lines as an insulator, then used heavy duty zip ties to attach the TCM to it.
Yeah, as stated the transmission mount is below the battery box. Just 37 simple steps to get it replaced. I joke, but not much.my bad, selective reading comprehension on my part. I'm about to do the tranny mount myself and should've known better.
He must have lengthened the wires a good bit to get it that high.even for 12+ ? (edit: just read upfix.com site and ... gosh, I guess they never did insulate/move the TCM during revisions.)

confirmed with fb OP he did not lengthen the tcm harness at all... there are a couple of variations on the bracket. I also like this rendition:He must have lengthened the wires a good bit to get it that high.
I looked around and couldn’t find any that was made for a 2013 5. Would a set for the same year Mazda 3 work? They look to have almost identical headlights.Go for it! Lots of options to achieve this - you can use traditional spray paint, or a rubberized paint like Plastidip or Superwrap. My only concern would be whether the heat from the headlights would cause any issues.
IMO your best option would be buying actual "eyelids" made out of ABS plastic or fiberglass. They seem to be available on AliExpress and Amazon, just be sure to buy the right ones for your year.

My 2015 Mazda 5 has 75k miles. I am looking into replacing all four spark plugs and tires soon (lots of treads left but have been in service for ~7 years). I was wondering if the three engine mounts and front / rear shocks and springs should be on my list before 100k miles or should I just wait until they fail before I replace them.It happens.
But really, if all we have to complain about is some cheap and easily replaced upper shock mounts and engine mounts which are also pretty easy to change, compared to the (lack of) reliability some other cars exhibit (looking at you, Nissan!), I think we're still way ahead of the game.
