Back in May 2015 I replaced the stock RSB on my 2013 Mazda 5 sport with a Tru-Torsion 1.25 RSB from James Barone Racing. At the same time, I also purchased and installed the JBR-endorsed and recommended $85 Moog End Links (grease-able), also from JBR. Now, 15 months and 9k miles later, the Moog...

I'm just looking to reduce some of the road noise. My understanding is that these acoustic windshields (for others makes and models) typically cost $25-50 more than a regular windshield. If a Mazda 5 owners needs to replace their windshield due to a crack, would the acoustic benefit justify...

Has anybody found an acoustic windshield that fits the Mazda 5? If so, have you tried it and did it help?

Roughly $180-200 USD.

I've had it done on my 2013 5 Sport, and it turned out pretty well. I went with a two-tone, e.g. puddy in the centers and black on the bolsters. I got the contrasting (puddy) thread stitching, too, which was (in hindsight) a smart move. Yes, the old cloth seat covers are removed and...

2005 Mazda 3 OEM rims 16" set of four (4x) Selling a set of four (4) 16" OEM Mazda rims / wheels. These came off a 2005 Mazda 3, and are in good condition. I was intending to use them for a set of winter snow tires, but now that I live in San Diego, I don't really need these collecting dust...

I'll try to snap a shot for you this afternoon, but as I'm heading to the airport, it might have to wait until I return.

I went with 5% all around the back, and with 45% on the driver's and passenger side windows. It does a nice job of keeping the parents cool up front, as well as the kids cool in back. What's more, the difference in tint (front to back) tricks many people into thinking that the front windows...

Ok, thanks. If I go the route of undercoating or bedliner, where might I get the work done? Would a regular body shop know how to spray those thick coatings? Would a bedliner place be able to pull it off?
