I see these listed on the mazda accessories site for the 2017 CX-5. Does anyone have these installed? I've always wanted the blue tinted side mirrors ever since I drove my buddy's 07' acura TL-S and noticed there's less glare from behind. Think it's worth the $300 price mazda's charging?

most things are not worth what the dealer charges, but if you are okay with the performance of the product for the price being asked, then sure, yes it's worth it.
Do these mirrors do anything else other than reduce glare and shed water? Do they offer a wide angel feature on the outer third of the mirror, usually denoted by a faint line that runs from the top to the bottom of the mirror?

They don't really have a picture of it so I'm not even sure what it looks like. I ordered the parts yesterday and dealer got them in today, I'll stop by later to get a pic if I can. Scheduled to get it installed on Saturday.

Here is a pic from the Japan site with their description.

I ended up getting it installed today, they didn't charge me for labor. I was originally quoted $63 labor for each side.
It'll be a while before I can try it in the rain, don't think it'll rain here for a while lol I'll see how it repels water during car wash. I've seen these blue mirrors for the 3 on jdmparts and I wanted to get them, but wasn't willing to spend $500+ for it :/

Yeah I got mine installed at the dealer, the guys that did it was warning me they're very fragile and break easily if not careful. I was pretty nervous while they were installing it but it went well and only took about 10-15 minutes, they didn't even charge me for labor.
I don't recall, I didn't really read the documentations that it came with, I already threw them away :/ Don't think there's any problem with it tho, it's just like the OEM mirrors. These are heated mirrors too so maybe you can use that to melt the ice? I've never have to deal with ice before
