What's the best temperature to install these in? I would imagine that they wouldn't stick the best if installed in cold climate. Is it better to install when the temperature is "fair" out (60-70's) or when it's really hot (80-90's)?

I'm asking b/c I don't want it peeling off when it's really cold (or hot) out.

This is an easy install. Here is the step guard with the spacers before installation. The spacers are held in place with the blue tape as stated in the instructions.

Very nice!(2thumbs)

Wonder where did you buy this step plate. I will take the delivery of my 5 in a few days and really would like to put this on it too.

Do you just spray paint them flat black or is there a replacement?

Thanks

Just bought it on line from Medcenter Mazda. The color is "as is" and no painting or anything.

$33.80 plus shipping (amount unknown) from here:
http://www.mazdaparts.org/mazda5test.html
(it's under exterior accessories)

Free shipping if your total order is over $100. Do you plan on doing oil changes yourself? If so, they also have a good deal on a five-pack of oil filters.

$32.00 plus $6.50 shipping from here:
http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?siteid=214264
Part number 0000-8T-L02

This second site has free shipping on orders over $125. Prices are slightly lower than the first site but it is harder to navigate (you pretty much have to have the part numbers). Feel free to send an email to the second site if you can't find something, the guy responds to emails quickly.
