congratulations. only thing with MZ5, is its a vehicle that's at home at the car dealer's show room. Owners try to keep them in that prestine, clean and waxed state. But reality is it is a daily family transport vehicle. I just waxed mine too.. but then I have to drive and get the kids and forcast says it may rain. And the GT does not have mudflaps.

I've been to three dealers over time, and have yet to see a 5 on the show room.

At first it was because they are at the low end and didn't rate space. Now it is because they don't have them in stock.

Yup, the dealer here said they won't have any Mazda5's until next year if you buy one now! That's how well the Mazda5's are selling here.

took me about 2 mos to find the one we wanted, everytime we went to look and decided to think about it for a few days, it sold.
i've only seen a 5 @ the dealer once, they don't stay long.

Just curious -- what % tint did you go with, and approx. how much did it run you? I still haven't gotten around to tinting our 5, and we REALLY need to do it. Just not sure what % tint to get...

back windows 38
front 2 are 2 shades lighter, forgot the %
i paid 300, it's formula one metallic, the only higher grade
is ceramic which isn't needed since i don't have a gps
installed.

i got it tinted the day after i bought it. it helps a lot with temps
it's been averaging 104 the last few days and it's not hot inside.

Hey stageup, is that taken in a Home Depot parking lot? Like either Rancho Cucamonga, Mira Loma, or one of the Corona's? ...you did mention Norco...so I was taking a guess-background looks way too familiar!
