Installed aftermarket fogs with a 55w led kit on my 16.5 sport. Waiting for it to get dark to snap a pic.
Here you are, not mine but on a friends CX5 the exactly same setup
I think I will wait till it's really necessary to change, I have only 50000 on them and my friend changed at around 75000. I have a VMAXX Sport brake at the front

Bought new tires that were taller than my old ones. I was trying to wait but tread started showing so i ended up getting 255/45/20 instead of the 255/40/20. Technically a 12mm increase. I also got a less aggressive alignment. I had to raise rhe front a bit to prevent rubbing so now I have a little negative rake (evo style). Also had to switch to a longer front adjustable sway bar link that I conveniently already had for like 2 years and never used. Probably will raise my rear when i feel like dealing with (more involved + 1 of my rear sway bar link is a b**** to undo) it so I can pull some camber from my rears.
You got any pics of the tailights? Looks pretty cool! I have the same car just looking for ideas and mods. Thanks
I have this on mine and it fits around the edge of the plate and is what makes contact with the car. No rattle or scratches: https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned)

He has all that stuff in his build thread or parts thread which are linked in his signature I think (unless he removed those).

If you guys don't want to drill into your front bumper just buy something like this. It attaches via the tie down rod hole.

Got these pedals put on tonight, I had the same ones on my 2014 mazda 3 but I like these better as it doesn't have any letterings on them. The one I had on my mazda 3 says "mazdaspeed" on it, these are blank.
Excellent work. Should be good for .87 HP increase in HP!
More like 2 hp. I moved my seat forward a bit and I probably gained 10+ hp from that too

I'm one of those weirdos that like to sit closer to the wheel LOL.

Received my Amazon package containing a new engine air filter, as well as a Thailand Mazda oil filter.
Also received my oil analysis kit, which is good as I am now 300 miles away from my 5k interval of changing oil.

Yeah, probably won't do the oil change until next weekend-ish.
5k is pretty early. Just about all 0w20 oil analysis' posted online say they're good through no less than 7k miles. I used to do 6k changes and have since bumped up to 7k.

That's true. I've just been following schedule 2 for the entire lifetime I've had this vehicle so far (5 years).

Installed a Draw-Tite (76138) hitch on my 2017 today. Thinking it would be easy to do but my Canadian CX-5 had a extra plastic flap attached to the rear bumper. Wish it was mention somewhere. Tips for other Canadian trying to attempt it.

What's the purpose of the flap?
