New to the forums as this was my last stop before going out to buy one today. Just got home and am tired but got a KILLER deal on a beautiful 2015 CX-5 Touring with moon roof and Bose. After reading issues with the tech package I chose not to persue a GT. Extremely happy, perhaps the best experience buying a New vehicle. My name is Lawrence and I am an all hands on do it yourself-er with alot of automotive experience. I also have a 2006 Nissan Altima SER and a 2014 Audi RS5. We needed/wanted a small reliable CUV and the CX-5 is perfect. Years ago, back in the early 90's I had a Mazda 323 GTX. There isnt a day that goes by that I regret selling it. So deep down to my roots is still very much so a Mazda enthusist. I am very good with troble shooting engine performance, electrical issues...and simply LOVE modding. I believe I have great taste and coldnt rice out a vehicle if I tried...lol. Just wanted to say hello to all and after a lil rest I will get back on here and post some pics. I think I will actually start a build thread. Already looking at new 20 Advan wheels for the CX-5. Window tinting 1st though. Glad to be a part of the community and hope to be a contributor.

 

Hi Lawrence,

Welcome and congrats on your brand new CX-5! I am sure, you won't regret your purchase. Keep us updated with the mods and post some pictures of it. Can't wait to read your build thread!

Glad to have you here.

 

Congrats Lawrence. I just got a CX5 Sport. What was the cost of the tint? Also, I'm looking to get a grill guard or bull bar installed. Australia has some good looking ones, but it's too far of a swim for me!

 

Thanks hillcountry, you also! The window tint was about $120.00. Though the rear half of the CX-5 is already factory tinted, we had them tinit it all around. In the end the front door windows are now 35% and the rear hald including the liftgate is now 18%. I had an old friend do the tiniting for us as he does this for a living and I trust him. He has done all of my vehicles and am really happy. What color did you get?

 

Sounds great,4DZC. I look forward to getting the tint. Dealer said 300. They do a good job. I haven't had luck w others, so I guess I'll pay the price. My CX-5 is that Crystal white pearl. Gonna be parked next to a 50 yr old-1965 Mustang.

 

Great minds think alike! Excellent color choice. lol
