The CX-5 decals don't look too good...
I agree, no one else's opinion is going to diminish how much I like the look. Thanks for the more detailed feedback. The non-standard font is (obviously) something I really like. I hate the thought of my car looking exactly like everyone else's, or exactly as the maker thinks it should look.Hey TREYP, one thing that I learned very early on in my car customization days: if it looks good to you, that's all that matters.
Personally, I'm not feeling the decals because of the font and placement. I think it would look cleaner without them or with a more standardized font.
But hey, that doesn't mean to stop posting! Keep sharing, it's nice to see what everyone else is doing to their cars. (2thumbs)(2thumbs)(2thumbs)(2thumbs)(2thumbs)(2thumbs)(2thumbs)(2thumbs) (2thumbs)(2thumbs)
It is just the inserts. https://www.ebay.com (commissions earned) It doesn't say it fits CX-5 specifically, but the Mazda emblems only come in several sizes, so I measured mine and it is indeed 102mm at the widest point internally. I wasn't looking for carbon fiber when I found this, but since I have a CF theme going on anyway I was more than happy to get it.I'm interested in that emblem; was it just the carbon fiber insert, or the whole badge they sent you? I'd be interested in customized badge, not so much the carbon fiber though.
I looked and I found this http://www.aliexpress.com/item/carbon-fiber-steering-wheel-decoration-stickers-steering-wheel-badge-for-MAZDA-cx-5-MAZDA3-6-free/697922931.html. I have not been able to find any aftermarket badge other than OEM that looks like it will fit a CX-5.
I had these badge decals custom made awhile back and finally got around to putting them on. The carbon fiber emblem one is the only one I did not design, and it came off eBay.

Props to you for going outside the norm. I like the idea. I agree with others on the placement, makes it look a little more rugged and a bit less classy but I think that is fine, especially for an AWD.
I happen to really like that font for another project. Would you mind sharing the details about the font, such as the name or who made them for you? I am trying to come up with a replacement Seadoo XP logo and a font like that pretty closely resembles the OEM one.
Thanks for any info!
I actually had a Tacoma and I put custom decals in the same spot, low on the side. Guess I'm just different that way.I actually like the CX-5 All-Wheel Drive in the rear because it comes of as a cool "off roadish" decal. The ones on the side of the rear doors don't match though imo. That type of decal (Off roading) shouldn't be set on rear doors and that low. They belong on the side of a pickup cab up high like TRD decals for Toyota as an example. The rear looks fine imo.
