i order and ship to a buffalo address and i pick it up. i declare the value and sometimes they let me go, if they don't, its just a few bucks. i got away the last two times crossing so hopefully the streak carries, if not, o well.

That seller won't ship to Canada...
On another note...
I once ordered Blitz car wax that is not available in Canada to be delivered to Montreal. It was $28 with shipping. Once it arrived via UPS they wanted an ADDITIONAL $32 COD!!!! (pissed)I refused it and eventually worked it out with the supplier and I just paid the duties and 'fees' and they credited my credit card. It is really hit-or-miss when ordering on-line from the US especially if shipped via UPS. Whenever possible I'll use USPS. Never got dinged more than $5 + GST & PST. Reasonable.

I got ebay chinese mud guard,
just remove snaps from wheel well and the rear that single bolt on the bottom
I increase the hole size on the flaps so the snaps will fit right in. no new holes to be drilled, cheap and it works, just wait for 4-6 weeks for delivery.
can't tell if it is OEM or not.

Can anyone provide a side shot of their car w/splash guards on it please. I'm having a hard time fiding said picture; I only can find close up shots at various angles, not a full vehicle shot. Thanks n advance

Is there any negative impact on the fuel economy? I mean mud guard may affect the aerodynamics of the undercarriage.
not sure if this helps, as for mileage I didn't notice any difference. there has been lots of debate on this topic, maybe some aerodynamic guru can give us some insight.

thx
I just installed the Chinese ones on the rear. Really easy. I made the holes in the mudflaps slightly larger and used the lower two push-pin-rivets that were already on the car and ignored the top hole. The top hole of the mudflap does line up with a mark in the molding that looks like it is designed for something to be screwed into it. The top hole would require drilling a hole in the molding and possibly the sheet metal behind it, I don't know whats behind the molding in that pre marked spot. I would rather use another push-pin-rivet in that spot then a screw. No need for adjustments on the bottom bolt. I will do the fronts another day.
Here is the install guide for the OEM rear and it shows all the bolts and clips needed. Mazdaparts.org has a good price for the front and rear.

Is that installed, I just bought front and back mudflaps for my 2014 cx5 for $98.00 at the dealer they wanted $105 to install them. I put them on myself only took me 1 hour
Finished up the fronts. I did not use any of the included screws because they were already starting to rust while in the little plastic bag. I used all the pre existing plastic push pin rivets that were already in the molding and had to purchase another one for the top hole in the rear and a slightly longer screw expansion rivet for the front middle hole. Overall I am happy with the install. The longer screw expansion rivet is a little concearning because is not as snug fitting as the original push rivets. I do like that I did not have to modify or snip any of the original molding and could always go oem if the $35 Chinese dont work out.

Any Canadian bought the flaps mentioned by Bopper?

It looks like the shipping is free but I am interested in how much the customs fees would be, if any.

I buy stuff from China all the time and there are no duties/brokerage fees/taxes from China to Canada/US. I only get nailed buying from the US to Canada when the item is $15 and up. I will post how my install goes when I get my CX-5 and when I get these guards. LOL

I have these... https://www.ebay.com (commissions earned)
The back 2 went on fine. I could not get the front 2 to snap in with the push rivets so I bought some at Lowes that were a little longer for $1.04. Also the screws began to rust immediately. Replaced with some other plastic black rivets that I found there too. Way better than $100.

I installed these from ebay, No problems!
I had to -
Drill the ebay covers a bit to make the holes wider
Use the pop screws already on the CX-5 to hold it in - they all fit but were very tight due to the additional space required to push through.
I also had to screw in scews at the top just to keep the fit even. There is an existing hole in the gaurd and it fit perfectly in there.
Took 5 minutes to do
