What have you done to your CX-5 today?

Got my Xenon Depot HID kit and Phillips LED fogs put in! What a difference!

Getting rid of that corny chrome line and re-coating my emblem while I'm at it.

Priming.

A lot of good things happening in here.

Thoughts on this? Not sure if I should call the dealer to have it checked, cut it off or just stuff it behind the dash. Only thinking of calling the dealer as I am not sure if its part of the windshield seal. If its for sound deadening I will simply stuff it back behind the dash.

^ haha I had it in the exact and I mean exact same spot. When I installed my tweeters I just cut it but for some odd reason it seems to have slightly returned....creepy

It's not a seal, it's a self-adhesive foam strip that is applied to the lower rear edge of the dash to stop potential rattles or squeaks against the windscreen. It runs the entire width of the dash so the small length that has torn on you will not cause any issues. I would push it back down rather than cut it though, if something small or thin rolls off the dash towards the windscreen, it could stop it falling behind and allow you to hook it back up.

Very strange. I wonder if they cut it in the same spot on the line? Creepy indeed that it's "growing" back. lol

Thank you for confirming. I'll be stuffing it back down into place tonight.

What brand tweeters you choose? How about the door speakers?

 

[silverevo05]

OE tweeters. It makes a difference...not a huge one but it is noticable

how easy was it to remove the chrome trim from the grill? I really want to paint mine too.

 

[Chris_Top_Her]

If the bumper is off its just 3 screws and some clips. Might be able to get it off by taking the panel above the horns off but not sure

 

[Crashed_Ice]

Decided to do some interior LED light conversions tonight. Much brighter and cost very little for them from Amazon.
I am happy with the results and only took all of 5 min to do.

Small things

 

[wah]

Aries all weather floor mats... I had the weathertech ones in my other cars. These look much nicer. Hope they hold up.

Those Aries floor mats look great. I picked up the Mazda ones already but those look like an awesome fit.
