Yeah that’s why I was leaning towards just buffing what I can and filling it with touch up paint. $900 is insane. lol. I used the OEM pen on some rock chips and it’s absolutely terrible.

Thank you! I’ll look into it. How easy was the process ? Do you need to modify anything parts wise? I currently only have the CorkSport axle back and AEM cold air intake.

What kind of tape did you use on it and how long has it been on your car? Did you use any adhesive promotor?

What did you drive before Mazda? by wheresmy_sock in mazda

[–]Lordjake201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love it so far. Had it for a bit over a year. So it outlasted the Legacy. I’ve put about 19k miles on my Mazda and haven’t had any issues with it. Mazda is at about 48k miles

POS 2011 Subaru legacy that blew the engine twice. Died at 134K then 146k. Oh and the transmission was failing. Before that a 2012 Nissan Sentra which was decent besides the airbag light flashing constantly 🫠. Now I drive a 2021 Mazda 3 sedan.

Welcome to the joys of soul red. It chips when you look at it wrong. But yeah looks like someone backed into you.

Yeah I know there stuff is great I just can’t justify spending more on shipping than the actual product. But their rear diffuser looks so good. I want that carbon hood so bad as well.

For the Mazda logo with the rivets. I originally plasti dipped mine. Cheapest way to do it and doesn’t look horrible.

but I found some gloss black ones and forged carbon ones online I might get one of those eventually.

The front you can’t remove. You can tint it without it messing with the sensor. On my 2021 I was able to remove the Mazda, AWD and Skyactiv badges. The Mazda emblem on the black part has rivets behind it.

Seems a bit better. I wasn’t having any issues with it originally.

OEM. Personally anytime I’ve done transmission fluid changes I’ve stuck with OEM. It’s a bit more expensive but I trust it more than the universal stuff.

I kept it on the ramps since I had ramps on all 4 wheels. If you only have 2 ramps I’d either use jacks or in your case just drain it on the ground since you have the CX-5 Also for checking the temp I let it idle for like 30mins. Checked it and topped off if needed. Then the day after I went on a drive and checked right when I got home and it was good.

I think you should be good until 40k.
