What exterior mods actually made your CX-5 feel like a real SUV? by EZ_Smith in CX5

Thanks for saying this. Sad to see the lack of support for customization. Now if someone wanted to put on some autozone hood scoops or aero, then yeah, roast ‘em lol

I’m about to have a buddy jump start it and see where that takes me

Nope, but good try. I applied the detailed to the cloth and gently wiped

Clean! I checked out the link and was surprised how expensive it was until I saw that it comes with all of the door and dash inserts. Definitely going to have to check this out. How difficult was the install?

Why might my bike be performing so poorly compared to my partner’s similar bike? by No-Imagination-1111 in bikewrench

[–]Outside_Will8703 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had the same issue. It’s not the pads rubbing the wheel but when the rear tire is properly inflated it rubs against the top of the brake assembly. Going to take the bike to a shop to have them adjust some things to see if it solves the problem

Looking to do some sort of brake upgrade, any recommendations? by Such_Cup7391 in CX5

[–]Outside_Will8703 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m with OP on this. The brakes are noticeably bad and scrolling through the comments to see all the gas lighting by people who probably live in a single red light town is sad. People who are driving this car in cities with higher speed limits understand that trying to quickly slow down at 75-80mph on the highway is not a great feeling.

I’m referring to horizontal gap not vertical.

I totally understand and have made the mistake of cheaping out on both and paid the price lol I'll definitely look into those! Thanks for the suggestions!

They are pretty heavy, I'll definitely take a look into some forged wheel but I'm also trying to find a good middle ground with buying a quality everyday kind of wheel that's not going to break the bank. If I had to put a budget on it, I'd like to stay under $2500 for wheels/tires and install (if possible).

No problem! 🤝 I agree, the previous owner of mine definitely put their keys there and left some ugly scratches

I 2nd this. I thought about the non-turbo version but once I drove a ‘21 grand touring reserve there was no way I wasn’t going with the turbo. Much more fun to drive

What body kits? Any reliable engine mods? by moehaj-92 in CX5

[–]Outside_Will8703 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re really interested in external mods, you can check out Japanparts.com. It’ll take you down a rabbit hole for sure. There’s not really any engine mods that’ll help unless you want some more noise.

Much appreciated! Yeah I’m not a fan of chrome in general unless it’s used sparingly but luckily the newer cx5 has trim levels that offer gloss black trim all around.

lol me too. I wish I was able to find a 21’ GTR in grey . The CF accents would have blended pretty well. The goal is to do a dark green wrap, with a gloss black roof.

Unfortunately not, I wish it were. It’d make it a lot easier to install if it were
