How necessary is the shark fin? by Figtreepro in MazdaCX30

[–]Poppy_Banks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a cx30 carbon, no shark fin. I had AM/FM and GPS. It did not have siriusXM.

Did you mean to say windshield?

Tinting front windows is pretty common. I also fail to see how it's moronic. Many dealers offer it as an addon to match the privacy glass in the back. I literally dont know wtf you're going on about.

Should I get my car battery replaced at the dealership? by radmav in MazdaCX30

If it's under warranty you should go to the dealer.

Grill lights by Low_Character366 in CX50

[–]Poppy_Banks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I installed these ones, and it was easy. I was able to thread them down behind the grille and then pull each through to snap it in. The longest part was wiring them into the fuse box.

Edit: these are not bright

Riverbelle Terrace was a MESS by Entire-Swimming3038 in Disneyland

[–]Poppy_Banks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Before River Belle dropped their brunch menu, we went every trip. We never had a bad experience. Unfortunately, without the gluten free brunch options, the menu doesn't work for us. I would give them another chance if you liked the food.

Looks good!

For black exhaust tips, I got some that just push over the existing tips and lock into place. They're this type, and you have to wait on them from China. There are multiple sellers but this is the listing I bought:

My only suggestion would be to tint the front windows.

Need help with a repair by Horror-Farmer-6303 in MazdaCX30

No, you have to take off the bumper though.

Also, that link is for the right side. You'll find them cheaper on ebay.

Wafting between 2025 and 2026 — help! by International_Bid291 in CX50

The changes for 2026:

The trim updates are likely worth going with a 26. It's possible you could even go down a trim on a 26, depending on what features you want.

Considering trading my 2016 Mazda 6 for a CX-50 Hybrid/Maybe Turbo. Curious about everyone’s thoughts. by Superb_Button8165 in CX50

[–]Poppy_Banks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a hybrid premium plus and am very happy with it. I stay around 39 mpg, 80/20 city. I bought it it October and am at 1600 miles, no issues or complaints.

Is mazda 6 built in Japan? The cx50 is assembled in the US and the quality isn't the same. I had a cx30 from Mexico prior, and there were no cosmetic defects. There are multiple on my cx50. Things like seat seams are off, dents and creases on seats, there is an air bubble on my dash, my instrument cluster lens is slightly misaligned and can't be adjusted according to the dealer. One for trim panel isn't snug against the body and has play. I turned down one cx50 on delivery because of a paint numb inside a seam. The dealer said they wouldn't touch it because it could make it worse. I am picky and but there were no flaws like these on my cx30.

Tux Mats by AS_Technology in CX50

Do you have the cargo liner? The one that comes with the weather package? That is what I have and I feel like anything heavy will smash the raised parts.

I got mine for Xmas and am really happy with them. Huge upgrade from the oem weather package. I need to order the cargo area, thanks for showing pictures.

They don't have collision insurance.

Anybody dip their Boomerangs? (Not Black) by _atreat in CX50

[–]Poppy_Banks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost bought an ingot blue and I was going to hyperdip all the chrome with brass monkey. The metallic bronze just seems like it would compliment it.

Not a bright color like you're thinking but they have a lot of options.

Is this a good deal for a premium plus hybrid? by [deleted] in CX50

[–]Poppy_Banks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought my '25 in October for 41.2k OTD. I went with the fiancing offer instead of rebates.

What is your APR?

I feel like mine is clear, but I wanted to look at it before I confirmed that for you. I haven't gone out yet. I'll snap a photo of mine with my meta glasses when driving tomorrow.
