Looks really good 7red7!

Norwegian law says NO!!! to tinting the front side windows.

Gotta like those roof rails.... the NA version missed the boat here...

Hey! The tint looks better from that angle.

can someone supply us with a contact to get some of them rails. BTW are they screw in to our supplied rack screw mounts or are these rails permanent addition. If they are temperary is there a lock system??

 

[mazdaFIVEmike]

I'd love to get my hands on a set of those!!

Thanks for the close up pic Tranquil.

Hey Zoom - I took a look at where the NA screw mounts are and they are 5" forward of the back part of the front door and 12" forward of the back part of the rear door. If you look at Tranquil's pics - there is no way these would fit in those existing spots.

Thanks Mike

I came to that conclusion also in our showroom.... looks like it is a perminate attachment. If its like the MPV we use blind rivits for that roof rack.

Hopefully we'll get some rof rails by the 07' model year...I'd settle for quality aftermarket as well, but I'd love to have factory rails installed

Dunno if these show off my tint or not, but just got back from a 3000km round trip in my 5 ... and she performed amazingly.

mazda5 28%

here's my baby with formulaone 28% tint all over.

 

[Zoom5Zoom]

Alright Bayan

You got to sport a bug deflector with that tint looks just fine. I keep forgetting your 5 in the states you can have 17" with no fog lights.

s***, you're near by! State or local? What % tint you running? Primary or secondary offense?

If you want ammo to fight it in court, go here --> http://www.dot10.state.pa.us/pdotforms/vehicle_code/chapter45.pdf PA Vehicle Code straight off PennDOT's website. In that .pdf, go about 1/5 of the way down and look for 4524, letter (e), number (1). This defines sun screening [tint] laws for PA. This is law... it states verbatim...

"(e) Sun screening and other materials prohibited.--
(1) No person shall drive any motor vehicle with any sun screening device or other material which does not permit a person to see or view the inside of the vehicle through the windshield, side wing or side window of the vehicle."

As you can see there's NOTHING defining the 70% many people claim for PA. Just that you must be able to see inside the car. This may or may not work in court, but it's at least something to work with... if you plan to pursue it further.

Sorry to hear about that

Yup, on the way to Bass Pro.

No ticket and no warning though. The tint was not why I was pulled over. I have 35% in front and 20% in back. The State Trooper saw me ride the center line and thought I might be drunk. He commented on the tint but saw my ID and sent me on my way.
