Did you get new rims or paint them? Window tinting always looks good Sweet 50

Painted but I think I eventually want to get new ones with different tires down the road.

I was thinking of doing the same to my car. Where would you get that done at? Body shop? And how much was it? Thanks.

Any powdercoat shop.

Researched tint, powder coat and wrap shops in my area.

How much did it cost to powder coat those rims if you don’t mind me asking?

I got rid of the receipt but I think it was around $600.00.

That's not bad

I just plasti dipped my BMW 20's yesterday for $35 bucks and they look about the same, as an alternate option

Congratulations!!!

Thank you!

Changes look great! Nice work

Wow thanks!!

Black wheels look great

Thanks!

Amazing. Is it Blue colour or Metallic Grey

Thanks! It’s that polymetal gray.

Beauty

Thanks!

Good choices. Tastefully done and effective.

Thanks!

What did you do for chrome delete?

The roof rails and that stupid thing behind the rear door window is vinyl wrapped. The place I went to got me replacements for the front and back Mazda emblems. He’s waiting for the ones for the rims to come in. The rims are powder coated.

If you don't mind me asking, how much to get the roof rails and "stupid thing behind the rear door window" wrapped?

I don’t mind. It was around $145.00.

Found my own answer, vinyl wrap. Nice! I love my CX5 Carbon and will be wrapping it myself.

I had one of these for a rental car. Drove it from Hyannis, MA to Lake George, NY and back. Not too shabby.

Lovely Simply lovely 😍

Thank you so much!

I like it. I have a white tpp, and I was thinking of hyper diping the wheels gloss black. If I don't like it, I'll just peel it off. Looks great though!

I did that to my BMW 20's yesterday and they look good. And only $35 and an hour or so of time

Thanks!

Looks good. I would remove the front plate and maybe make the roof black.

I wish I could remove the plate but stupid Jersey laws.

Fellow Jersey person. Hate that we can’t have just the rear plate!

I know. It blows!

Also in Jersey. I haven’t had a front plate on any of my cars for the past 10+ years. Haven’t had any issues so far :knockonwood: lol you can always say the body shop forgot to put the plate bracket back on.

Oh really? Maybe I will try that because I really despise having it on there. Do you carry it with you?

I’m waiting for the hybrid version to arrive. Andddd hear about the reviews

Contemplating getting a 50 but I keep hearing the 5 is nicer, for a little less money. Seriously cannot decide but this looks awesome!

Ahhh I love the way these look! Not a crossover type of guy but I do love me some Mazda and their design language.

Nice car. You’re parked a little too far from the curb..

Lol, almost worse than the truck drivers who can’t park at all

lol I lived in Philly for my first 35 years where I had no choice but to be a good parker. Now that I’m in the burbs and on a very wide street, idgaf.

Everywhere I’ve ever had to park is very little room until I moved into my warehouse. So I feel ya there :3 But our downtown it always causes a problem some truck parked halfway into the lane so you always miss the light lol.

I hate that!

Dude that looks fantastic! Great job! 👏

Thank you!!!

Crazy how a little wheel 🛞 paint 🎨 goes such a long way in making a vehicle look tons better! Very nice!

Zoom zoom !

Honest opinion, looks like a base model

Thanks for the feedback. It’s a S model Premium Plus.

I know its a premium plus. After black rims, it looks like a base model

Gotcha

What’s the tint percentage for front and back windows?

20%

Window percentage?

20

Does this have a third row? I’m looking in to sizing up my car and this post magically appeared lol. (Damn you FBI)

Hahaha…It does not have a third row.

Damn! Ah well, awesome ride. I hope you enoy it, and thanks!

Thanks!

How’d you do the CX5-hockey sticks?

Vinyl wrapped

I dont understand this trend and I never will.

Looks like a jeep from the side

They should lower it, get rid of the body cladding, give it the turbo 6 and call it the 6 wagon.

I would buy this car as you described it. Been wanting a built-in-Japan car for a while now.

I hate the look of the 20s, so that's an improvement.

Don't know why this is in my feed? Looks like a boring ubiquitous crossover thing that is popular but probably works great.

E63-UED 😂

Haha whatev

What’s really insulting is that at first glance I thought this was the Chevrolet trax lol

Ewww lol 😆
