Had a nice dent on my 2 month old CX-5's front pass fender removed via PDR, looks as good as new. :)

Hi right2002, that's one nice shield. What is the brand and where did you get it?

Thanks

Added Wet Okole front seat covers (15 minutes +/- install per seat). I do a lot of outdoor activities getting wet, sweaty, greasy at times and the seats needed some protection. I think the back seats I will go with the cheaper Coverking ballistic since I keep those folded down most of the time, don't have kids and rarely passengers.

Returning my 2010 Civic lease and so today I just cut the bottom 3" of my sunshade to fit the CX-5, though the CX is a couple inches wider is no big deal. Also stuffed the trunk protector in back, just need a decal to cover the Civic if it matters. Not perfect but saving $200 for both in the process. Next will exchange my 9005 Nokya yellow DRL bulbs and get an adapter to make my HID fit. Love the color of these HIDs, think they are 6000k from memory.

My car was beeping, and the hazard lights were flashing, so i did what any responsible owner would do, and took it out for a drive in the mountains. It really enjoyed the trip!:)
 
Just installed a Curt class III hitch and wiring harness. Probably took me about a hour total. I'm looking at possibly running the wires for the trailer through the floor somehow so I don't have to dangle them out the back door when I need to use them. I have a bracket from Uhaul that I will be using if I can figure out a safe way to run the wires.
 
Washed
Layered on 2 coats of Zaino Z2 (including the wheels)
2 coats of Scotchgard on the interior
Installed LED DRL's
Installed Mazda side window visors
 
Picked up a Cargo Net, Cargo Mat, hooked up a DVR camera, and picked up a new sunshade :)









(Sunshade doesn't fit entire window... but it'll do for now)

Up next are oem mud guards, Osram night breaker lights, yellow foggies, and led interior and license plate lights.....
 
Stuffed 4 pairs of waders, a seine net, a bucket with a thread fish, baby horseshoe crab, and a bunch of chemical testing equipment (and waste) in the back. Everything was coated in sand, marsh muck, and salt water. Finally got rid of that new car smell!!

I might take it to the carwash tomorrow.

do you mind me asking how much they charged?
 
Finally got around to PlastiDipping my wheels.

This was my first time using this stuff and I'm not sure if I used enough. I bought the Anthracite Gray wheel kit with 2 cans of glossifier but I only went through 1 and about 1/4 cans of Anthracite. I did do 5 coats and 2 coats of glossifier and this is what I came up with. In the shade the wheels look really dark, but in the light they really "pop."





 
My trunk cargo cover came today. $150 total from eBay.
I decided to buy it after playing with one at the dealer while waiting for an oil change. I like it.
