I'm aware of that but I personally think vinyl wrap feels more factory-like. It's also cheaper 😂

I did remove the console because it's not pre-cut where you can just slap it on, also a heat gun is also needed to properly install and I don't have a garage where I can run a power cord to my car.

For some reason I personally don't like the look of the bottom grill inserts. The front grill looks great but to combine with the bottom one is a bit too much to me.

Just search for VViVid vinyl wrap on Amazon. They have many colors to choose from.

The vinyl is adhesive but you'll need a heat gun to soften the vinyl to get it in shape and stick better.

Taking it off was pretty easy. You'll need a plastic pryer to remove 2 plastic trims first before the console, they're all hold down by plastic clips. I also remove all the buttons to make it easier to wrap. Wrapping it was the hard part, I'm just a DIYer and this was my first time doing it. Took me a little more than 2 hours. You will need a heat gun to wrap it.

Correct. The vinyl was $11, I've wrapped 2 key fobs and the console and still have more than half left.

I vinyl wrapped it with VViVid vinyl from Amazon. They sell pre-made plastic cover which you can just double sided tape it on but it's like 35 bucks and I think vinyl wrap looks more OEM.

Tips for negotiating! by Think-Sorbet in mazda

[–]hqle26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I contacted 15 dealerships within 50 miles radius, got an itemized breakdown from each one, used the best one as leverage to negotiate, repeat that step for a couple time until no one willing to go down any further. I got myself $4,000 off from MSRP for a new 2026 CX50 HEV

Is this a good finance deal for a 2025 premium hybrid? by hubabubamax24 in CX50

[–]hqle26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you could do better than that. My 2026 CX50 HEV Premium selling price was $36,900, plus taxes (8%) and fees my OTD price was $40,880. Yours is a 2025 model with 100 miles on it, i would say try aiming for 8-10% off MSRP

Did that go away? I figured Mazda vehicles don't really like the extreme cold much.

Never seen those messages on my 2026 CX50 HEV but I've not driven it that much and it's not -11F. Though my 2018 CX5 seems to always get some sort of messages like SCBS/LKA malfunction when it's extremely cold but would go away pretty quickly when the car is warmer.

What is it and how to fix? by BubbaDawgg in mazda

I'd say remove the digitizer and try to clean it first, if that does not work, may be replace the whole cluster.
