Not sure if I’m the first with the Greddy lip in the US for the CX-5 but here’s mine. Also has a ikon front splitter, I have FTR support rods but it isn’t installed yet. Received from Japan today. Paid a pretty penny to have it shipped to me. also has carbon fiber ducks garden replica eyelids. I will install my fender flares once I get new wheels and probably lower it also not sure which springs i should get, options I see are, Tanabe, H&R, Megan Racing, Cork sport, etc. By the way, thanks to the guy that recommended me to DL Tapatalk.

Hi can you please take a closer photo of the greddy lip? how much did it cost?
 
The exterior diameter it shouldn't change, if you go with different wheels size, maybe a slight difference, but that should not have any effect to the alignment.
 
Titanium, I don't have a problem with your lip, I like that, that it is unique(that is what I like myself as well), but I would have installed that, maybe last time.

Went a size up on the tire wall from 45 to 50. In person makes a huge difference. The car has such an agressive look now with the wheels tucking out and the drop! Love it

So this is how the car looks posted up from the rear. What a difference some wheels, tires, and springs can do to make our cars look so much more aggressive than stock posture !

Just got my cup magnetic phone mount. Cups holders aren’t in the ideal place for this accessory. I had a CD slot version of this before.. and well.. we don’t got those any more :/

Have you tried the vent mounted ones? I find those to be the best. I've used a window mounted one, dash mounted, vent mounted, and CD mounted. Never tried a cup holder one, but I use my cup holders, so I don't think I'd like it. Runner up is the dash mounted one, but they're a little far away if you're trying to adjust anything on the phone from your seat. The vent ones are in the perfect place to reach.
 
This is my 2018 CX5. Id like to mod it, but I love how it looks so much I dont really know what to do. The shark nose front end gets a lot of attention and the long bonnet makes for a great side view.

Ive added OEM light up sills, OEM rear stainless steel bumper sill and thats it. Thinking of changing the wing mirrors to black ones.

Did you Plasti Dip Matt or Gloss?

Thanks! For the window trim I used 3M 1080 Matte Black. Matches the factory black trim pretty close. I had originally wanted to wrap the grill too, but looking at it I thought it would take way too long for me to learn the technique to do it even moderately well, so I went with Plastidip. Did about 5 coats of black and several coats of their Glossifier. I did not do the emblems on the rear as I did not want everything black. I like having a couple of pops on there, with the roof rails matching the exposed metal on the rims. I didn't really like how the roof rails and the rims were aluminum, and the moldings and grill were chrome. Here is another picture where it isn't so sunny out, which shows the black a little better.

Im looking at leaving the windows alone not sure how that will look with Everything else blacked out. Back emblems ready done

Im considering doing the emblem too (dont have radar) not sure if I should go gloss or Matt finish. Any suggestions ?

Hey, sorry for the late response. In my opinion the lip didn't cost that much to me, what costed the a lot was the shipping. I searched everywhere trying to buy this Greddy lip, and finally I found this shipping company in japan that does english. The lip costed around $200 but the shipping costed me $405 bucks and a few cents shipped to my door. What I liked about this Greddy lip, its urethane, not abs plastic which breaks easier. Theres other lips out there but they cost alone more then this Greddy lip, shipping is whats going to kill yah. If you decide on trying to get the Greddy lip or any other lip you can try this site i used, buyee.jp good luck man

yeah I know man, that was a lot for the lip + shipping combined. Wished they sold lips for cheap on eBay for the CX-5, like those Honda civic lips that be selling for 50 bucks but no one here in the US sells anything like lips or body kits for the CX-5 here, thats why I had to venture out and just pay for the damn thing, UGHHH.
 
Some stuff from Aliexpress, I am surprised by the quality, they are from metal except the ones for the seat adjustment buttons, didn't expected that. I my opinion it looks good, I had to add some more double sided tape to be sure they stays put.
