As part of my ongoing project to quieten my 2014 CX-5, I fitted a second rubber door seal to each door, the boot(trunk) lid and the bonnet(hood), like the 2017+ CX-5. Along with the sound insulation fitted throughout, I'd say my CX-5 is twice as quiet as when it was stock, and on par with my company pool Mercedes C-Class!

None at all, as the panel gaps on my CX-5 are unreal! I just made sure that the seal is fitted as far 'inwards' in the doors as possible, so that they don't show when the doors are closed.

Im in the UK and got the rubber seal strips from Amazon - this one looks identical

Best bang for buck is a tough one - in terms of money and time/effort, the rubber door seals were effective in cutting down on wind noise, and making the doors feel and sound more premium.
Ive cut down road noise a lot with a combination of soundproofing materials on the floor and doors, but this was fairly expansive and very labor-intensive.
Ive also soundproofed the wings/fenders (underneath the liners) but this didnt make a huge difference.
Next up is some anti-vibration material on the roof but Im not looking forward to dropping the headliner...

Installed some kayak mounts I got form ebay for $40 (set of 4). They came 100% disassembled but by fa the lowest price for new J mounts on ebay. Paint quality is thin and I will probably end up spraying rattle on them down the line.

I*m sure some here with not like it because it*s chrome. But I like it. I added some to my lower side of the front bumper.I think it looks great. It makes the car look taller in the front.
It's a very rare Mazdarati!! lol
Personally not a fan, it does make the front look taller but the vertical lines clash with horizontal flow of everything else on the car (trim beside and under the fogs, accents inside the headlights, OEM chrome grille frame integrated into the headlights).

I Considered My CX-5 a Blank Canvas
I enjoy mods and especially enjoy working on the CX-5 because of its relative plainness.
Some of my additions are utilitarian, such as the Running Boards,, Roof Rack/Rails, Dash Cam and all LEDs in the interior and license plate. The rest, so far, have been nothing but bling.
I am from the old school where vehicles were judged by the amount of chrome they had on them. Yah, yah, I know. "Chrome" will not get you "Home". However, it will make a stranded vehicle look mighty pretty.
Actually, I only have 2 more mods planned, so far. They will definitely be utilitarian. Did I say, so far? Thought so.(naughty)
