What have you done to your CX-5 today?

I believe the correct terminology is:well, I bought one. So I guess that's something.
I drove my CX-5 home from the dealer today. LOL
Now time to mod.
I finally got LEDs for all the interior lights & license plate lights.
$80 well spent. $40 for the P13W DRLs lights.
So ~$40 if just doing interior & LP lights.
I took out the brake LED bulbs I put in bc I would not make a good connection & bought Silverstars.
Since the bulb is slanted inside the housing, the light doesn't reflect as well.

Plasti Dipped my rims as well. Straight up Matte Black, 6 coats. I then did the handles too
A few days later, I prepped her for the 9 hour drive by putting a car bra on and using a black protective spray (can be washed off easily with water) on the side mirrors.

Can anyone suggest a online retailer that will ship to Canada? I'm looking to purchase the rear storage mat and privacy cover?

Used it to bring a broken 40 gallon water heater to a metal recycling facility. It fit with plenty of room to spare. Front seat only had to move up an inch or two.

Still swapping old stuff from other vehicles (like the rear Civic mat in the photo), so today I put the memphis sub from my nissan rustbody 'er hardbody truck (that i am beginning to restore this fall) in the CX5 and it fits snug under the rear cover bar thingy. Now I have to mount the old 250w RF amp under my seat and run some cables. I hope it thumps as well as it did in my truck.

Not to get off topic, but I've never understood why people edit out the plate number. It is readily visible by hundreds of people on the street everyday, so what is it going to hurt to show it on the internet? Just curious what people think the danger is.
My guess is to preserve a little anonymity online. Granted it isn't easy for everyone to cross-reference a plate to a name but it can be done.
I also wonder how easy it would be to make a convincing looking printout of a plate if someone happens to really anger me online and they also have a white CX5. Then I go park illegally, blow through a few bridge tolls etc.
Saw a thing on TV once where a guy with his favorite sports team on his personalized plate matched the letters on the fake plates the team sold and other fans would put those plates on the front of their cars and he'd get parking tickets from places he'd never been.

Thats what I did. It worked pretty well. It sometimes sticks to the newspaper so cut around the symbols with a thin knife after you are done.

This plasti dip is pretty cool stuff. I am digging what I did today, thanks for sparking the idea Ryan!
I just realized I shouldnt show the back without editing my plate.....It looks awesome, take my word for it, hahaha. I may even do the exhaust.
Looks great on the white!
