I am looking forward to seeing them on your ride, but are those Ford center caps or are my eyes deceiving me?
The guy I bought them from tried to put them on his Buddy's Ford. I'm going to use the stock black Mazda caps.

Agree 100%, hate the amber reflector.
Does the silverstars blink orange, but just look clear? If so, do you have the front and rear model numbers, as I would love to do it.
THanks!
Well, actually, it was last weekend, not today, but what I did with with my Mazda5 was:
Autocrossed it!
Autocrossing the 5 was big-time fun! I expected it to feel like I was going to roll over, but the 5 felt incredibly planted and balanced. I expected I'd spend the whole day fighting understeer, but between the MS3 swaybar and the really old, really worn Azenis on the back, I was actually getting oversteer, much like I do in the P5 with it's Big Honkin' Swaybar and adjustable endlinks!
My goals were to not roll it, and to not finish last. I kept the shiny side up, and I was faster than 6 other cars in the morning session, including an Audi A3, a VW Corrado TDi, 2 NA Miatas and a 2005 Corvette Z51! ...And yes, I know that autocross times depend on a lot of factors, and yes, I'll admit that the Corvette never got to take advantage of his horse power on the very twisty, short course, and no, I don't know if he'd ever done it before, but you know what? I beat a freakin' Corvette in a competitive automotive event that didn't involve transporting quantities of people or lumber, while driving a MINIVAN!! So, I'm calling that a win. Whether that's a win for me or a win for the Mazda5, I'll leave up to you to decide for yourselves.
I laid a lot of rubber down coming out of one particular corner, and when my friend gets around to sharing her pictures with me, I'll get some "Mazda5 turning tires into smoke" pictures up here for your pleasure.
In-car video here, but no sound.
Picked up some MS3 wheels off CL for $300. Now I need TPMS sensors and some plastidip to clean up the curb rash.
How did these turn out
Not done yet lol

Not sure what is going on but I really think my 5 doesn't want to leave me. As some know, I've returned it to stock and put it up for sale. In the 30 days since it has been for sale....
1) Flat tire.
2) Valve cover gasket started leaking oil. (Mazda fixed that)
3) My 5yo nearly ripped the drivers side sliding door handle off the door. (will fix that this week sometime)
4) A/C belt start slipping when I hit a puddle (changed that Friday)
5) Also got a rough idle and slight misfire at low rpm cruise with TCC locked (40-50mph, light load). Ended up changing the plugs and fixed that.
Just waiting on the hail mary that will hit me next.
.... GL on your sale... ...whenever your car stops whining about it.
Dead battery this morning. I mean.... SERIOUSLY? Nothing left on. Just a dead cell.
For sale... 2010 Mazda5 - Christine Edition (movie reference for anyone younger than about 40...)
lol! Nope, the 5 likes you.
That and it will burst into flames as soon as you put a FS sign and it's close to your house to take it with it.
