looks pretty nice. you're the first person i've seen with the side rails lol. mine should be coming in this week. might have to check out these cross bars.
I'm not sure if it's the same for 2016 vs 2017, but I got tints over the factory tint (and slight tint in front windows).
They put 20% over the factory tint.
Not the best comparison shots, but you can still see the difference.
the cr-v has more cargo volume and i believe has many more standard features at this trim level. it all depends on how much you value what is missing. if you want a side by side spec comparison, you can compare the 2 models here https://www.mazdausa.com/shopping-tools/compare-vehicles/cx-5...
yea i noticed some blue on my leather already. wiped off easily with lexol leather cleaner. i think as long as you're taking care of the leather, you'll be fine.
plates came in this week. changed out the dealer license plate frame with plane black ones.
yesterday got a wash and got tints done (darken to 5% in the rears, 35% for front, none on windshield).
also got my real camera back so did some quick shots.
next up is plastidip rear emblems. also...
