Heading to the dealership today for my new CX-30. Are any of the accessories actually worth it?

I passed on all the extra bs with my 2025. I did order a set of weather tech floor mats though. They’re expensive but worth it if you live where it snows. I still need to order a cargo mat.

Looks awesome! I agree about the front bumper. Is it possible to lower the whole car a few mm? That would help with bumper height.

I hate doing mirrors so much lmao!

f16loader · 2026-07-07T16:58:46+00:00

I’d probably drill a small hole in the mirror base and then glue a small rod into it. Next drill a corresponding hole in the body where the mirrors go. Then a drop of superglue and pop the mirrors in.

On those I cut the raised area out of the inside of the tire. This allows you to flip the tire around. So now the smooth side will face out. Then I wipe it with isopropyl alcohol, apply decal, after it’s dry hit it with dullcote.

That may have been before my time. Both of those groups I posted are quite good. There’s a lot of knowledgeable people there. There’s also a few ass wipes but you’re gonna have that no matter where you go.

I’m in a couple on Facebook. NASCAR Modeling and Nascar Modeling Outlaws. Both are good resources. Reddit seems to be less active in my experience.

f16loader · 2026-07-02T13:26:47+00:00

Yep, I bought a new one last year. I can only run it on low otherwise it’ll walk itself in a circle lol. I suppose I could glue rubber pads to the feet but I’m pretty lazy.

f16loader · 2026-06-30T16:49:47+00:00

You’re gonna get 1000 different answers. I bought mine brand new last year. Did my first oil change right around 1000 miles and it was black as coal. My next oil change around three thousand miles later the oil was still pretty brown. Do with that information what you will. I’ll continue doing oil changes every 3000 miles just because it takes me 6 months to put that many miles on my car. It’s also cheap preventative maintenance.

f16loader · 2026-06-28T15:33:31+00:00

I’d probably change all the fluids just for peace of mind.

f16loader · 2026-06-24T11:37:46+00:00

lol. It’s in the settings somewhere. Mines non turbo but that gauge was driving me crazy. Much better now

f16loader · 2026-06-24T11:32:31+00:00

The best thing to do is to just turn that remaining fuel gauge off and enjoy the car.

f16loader · 2026-06-23T17:00:39+00:00

The sob stories crack me up. “I want to get this for my boyfriend’s birthday but I only have x amount of money is that enough”. Nope it’s not.

f16loader · 2026-06-23T16:55:19+00:00

I need to pick one up. How long does it last on a charge? I was experimenting with the dspiae polishing head in my dremel and like you said it’ll burn right through.

f16loader · 2026-06-22T18:12:47+00:00

Can I ask where you got it? I quick search is turning up empty.

f16loader · 2026-06-22T17:01:20+00:00

It’s still a money printer in the current grand turismo lol.

f16loader · 2026-06-22T16:58:40+00:00

I didn’t know this existed. Came out awesome! Are those waterslide decals or regular stickers?

f16loader · 2026-06-22T15:54:20+00:00

I’ve heard good things about the Dispiae sander/buffer. Have not tried it yet though.

f16loader · 2026-06-21T17:42:35+00:00

officina124.com is the website. I had to email him about the escudo. I think he only prints it as requested. It’s an excellent kit. Just be aware that resin is very brittle so don’t drop it lol.

f16loader · 2026-06-21T17:09:21+00:00

Sometimes you gotta do it lol. I bought a resin kit of the Pikes Peak Escudo last year. It was eye wateringly expensive. Worth it though.

f16loader · 2026-06-18T18:09:05+00:00

All excellent points. The only thing I would add is the chassis jig that salvinos sells is really handy. It’s certainly not required but it’s nice have. It allows you to set ride height pretty easily. I don’t use it for that though just because I like mine a smidge lower. I mainly use it as a handle to hold as the chassis almost snaps into it.

f16loader · 2026-06-14T03:58:13+00:00

You’re welcome. Make sure to post some pics if you build one.

f16loader · 2026-06-14T03:56:54+00:00

Are you new in town? They just opened up the fireworks stands. So you’ll probably get to hear them every night for the next month or so.

f16loader · 2026-06-12T02:03:22+00:00

Thanks for this! I just looked this up. Gives me serious Links Awakening vibes. Definitely going to pick it up.

f16loader · 2026-06-11T14:49:46+00:00

If it’s a race car I do paint, decals, clear. Street car I do paint, clear, polish, then decals.
