Hi hilton nice mode. Can u please provide the link for led blue lights in the driver n passenger foot well? And installation video. Are you going to install leds interiors lights/number plates leds, replace oem intake with cold air intake, add exterior sequential indicators lights beside the fog lights, replace oem indicators front& rear lights with t20 leds and add racing beat exhaust?
@@kingshonen Thanks for watching. The link to the LED install is at the end of this video. Here's the link to the LED's - I just cut the 12v plug off so that I could hardwire them into the car - www.aliexpress.com/item/POSSBAY-12-LED-Strip-Lights-Universal-Car-Interior-Floor-Decorative-Lights-With-Cigarette-Charge-Footwell-Atmosphere/32838510227.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4d5wNfRl
Is there anywhere I can get the faux wood trim for the dashboard/console stripe? I haven't been able to find it anywhere online, as I have a Touring trim and the dashboard stripe is just a solid light gray stripe. i think the black wood look would look a lot better
We have owned eight different Mazda’s. We have a silver 2017 CX 5 sport we bought new. Still have it and still excited about it. Thank you for doing this excellent video. Your car looks fantastic! You have great taste in what you did to your CX 5, and love all the little details you have added along with the links. Going to add a few mods to our car to make it a little more enjoyable! Thank you!
After watching your hood quick strut video, I ordered and installed them on my CX-5. Your instructions were spot on, and the struts do a great job. Thanks!
I love the pedal, I suggest Mazda should always put aluminum pedal in every car on display in any Motor Show like other company is doing, it adds appeal to it.
My CX5 2017 GS - interior has stainless style on the door panels/window switch all four and the Gear shift Panel and all foot pedals in Stainless steel look, it matches much more prime feel. I recommend more
Hi. Im expecting the 2.0 IND next week. Cant wait to get down to some of these mods. Thank you for the detailed videos. As a Durbanite your experience helps me immensely😀
Nice mods Hilton. Looking really well. I wish we could get lighter colour interiors more easily here too, but it's rarely available unless it's something like a Jaguar or Alfa Romeo.
Great cosmetic mod Hilton. Next you should mod oem intake with cold air intake the n/a engine will sound amazing when u accelerate hard even better in sport mode. Add leds interior, exterior led indicators front& rear & add sequential indicators lights (big job but well worth it) looks like luxury suv at night time, lastly add racing beat exhaust n do a video on that. Cheers! My cx5 mod are cold air intake, all leds lights in/out/front/rear indicators & sequential indicators next to fog lights. Will do your cosmetics mod soon. Cheers! P.S you should also mod your infotainment system to mazda aio which u can install to watch movies, youtube, new speed odometer shows fuel trips etc, Android auto ver10.1 shows directions and distance on HUD! Reserve/parking sensor display red/yellow/green distance.
If you have time, could you post pics or links to some of the things you mention? A lot of what you mention is what I want to do as well. Any help would be appreciated.
Very classy accents on your CX- 5. My 2019 CX-5 GT Reserve's mods are: ->enameled "2.5 T" emblem I put on the lower right of my rear hatch. It tells those "uppity" Audi 2.0 T SUVs why they just got spanked. ->CORK SPORT Oil Catch Can to catch PCV system blow-by vapor and keep it from baking on the back of the intake valves. (After 5,000 miles I drained 1/3 cup of evil-looking brown liquid condensed crankcase vapors from it! -> two gas hood struts, just like yours and matches the GT Reserve's upscale appearance ->three "CX 5" pedals W/ rubber inserts (like yours but for left hand drive) Very high quality covers/replacements ->K&N drop-in air filter (K&N cone filter makes too much induction noise for any extra HP over the drop-in filter) ->door handle metal surrounds (like yours) ->driver seat control metal covers ->glove box handle metal cover ->four brushed aluminum surrounds for the lower door speakers ->tail pipe extensions (Fringe benefit - keeps the tail pipes looking clean.) ->MAZDA roof racks ->MAZDA rear bumper metal protector trim ->MAZDA "trunk tonneau" security cover ->Dimple brand magnetized oil drain plug (strong rare earth magnet) ->MAZDA "CX-5 lighted front door sill covers and unlighted rear door sill covers. ->Cork Sport turbo downpipe (definitely better throttle response) ->1/3 tank of 100 octane gas ($8.00 per gallon!!) for much better acceleration.) COMING SOON: -> Michelin Cross Climate 245/50/19 all season tires when Michelin releases that size. (BEST all season tires available anywhere!) All these mods you have shown are Chinese from Ali Express and to my mind are very good quality, in keeping with the quality of the SUV. My CX-5 GT Reserve 2.5 L. turbo, AWD is "Soul Crystal Red" and is gorgeous. I call it "Candy Apple Red" after the same color American hot rodders use for custom paint jobs.
LoL, thanks for watching Eric. I sadly traded my CX-5 for a new Jaguar XF last year, but it was an awesome SUV. I loved the space and the drive. It was very engaging to drive and quite imposing on the road. I'm a fan of the Kodo design. I once had a Cadillac CTS in Crystal Red, and I also called it candy apple red ;)
Wow! Thank you for this. I stumbled upon your cargo cover video (not for installation, but because I was interested in purchasing one). Can't wait to try out these wood trims and cover up the piano black!
Thanks for watching. The wood trims are actually aluminium and very robust. They have a high quality feel and look to the point that gas attendees constantly praise me for how luxurious my car looks inside and that they would never have guessed looking at it from outside. I'd love to hear what you think when you've fitted yours.
Like you said to each his own. Thanks for this video. Many of these things *DO* look nice, however I'm not attaching things to my expensive new car with two way tape. I want things to snap or bolt on just like the factory would do it. The idea of purchasing accessories off aliexpress doesn't knock my socks off either as I view that as all cheap junk from China. I'd feel like I was driving some kind of a, I don't know what car, with all the taped on accessories. Like I degraded it some how in quality. I would know how these parts were put on and I'd feel weird about it.
To be honest, many of the parts on this car were made in China - tested by Mazda of course, but still made in China. I was actually surprised by the quality of the chrome strips as they were made of metal and really good quality chrome. I thought they were plastic when I ordered them. And they held up very well to mud, rain and dirt and cleaned up perfectly with every wash. As for those interior covers I installed, they were rubbish. As you said, cheap junk. I wouldn't recommend them as they don't stand up to wear and tear very well. In hindsight, I would rather have wrapped all those items with a good 3M wrap. But hindsight is 20/20 ;)
just bought a 2021 mazda cx5 gt, this videos great for accessory ideas. im questioning if the exterior chrome will hold up to a boston winter, so gonna hold off for now. otherwise bought the interior parts you showed except for some chrome pieces, great taste!
Congratulations on your purchase. Trust me, that particular chrome I fitted will hold up. It's metal and genuine chrome. Top quality product. I thought when I bought it that it was just plastic and was pleasantly surprised. It held up to water, mud, dirt, tar so I'm sure it will hold up with snow 😉
Went the other way lol 2019 white / brown interior I had all the chrome deleted. The emblem and CX5 / Skyactiv badges were blacked out using another method and then I added a skunk works decal/ MACH 3+ decal and HABU SR71 decal to the back window because, well......thats a long story.
Hello Hilton, Hope you are well. This is nothing to do with the Mazda but I thought I would tell you that I have just bought a 2011 XF and I am finding all your Videos on the car invaluable,please don't delete them. Am very pleased with it so far but if I have any questions......Guess who I shall be asking! Have a nice day. Mick
Hey Mick. Congratulations on your new ride. You will love that car more than anything you've ever loved. I still miss my XF to the point where I'm considering buying a 2014 or 2015 facelift XF. They are such good cars and way more reliable than the E class or A6 or 5 series. You can laugh at people driving those cars because they have expensive to repair unreliable heaps that will cost them dearly. If you service your XF when it's required, it will just keep going and going. You made a solid choice on the 2011. Well done! 😎
They simply slide over the existing pipes. Easy install. If memory serves, they had a little screw on the under side that tightens them to the original pipes to prevent theft.

Hey Alan - I've bought literally hundreds of stuff on AliExpress and am currently a platinum member. I've had out of almost 1,000 purchases probably 5 that went wrong. But if you file a dispute, AliExpress always rule in your favor and refund you within 24 hours. Shipping can take a while though, so you have to be patient. You can also extend your closing time by requesting the seller to do so which enables you a longer time to file a dispute if the item arrives damaged or doesn't arrive at all. But on the whole, they are better than eBay when it comes to service and sellers will do anything to get a good rating from you. You just have to read each description of the items you are buying to ensure it's really what you think it is and perhaps TH-cam them to see if there are reviews on the items. Some are rubbish, but most are good. I've been a member since 2013 and have bought all my cell phones (Ulefone) on AliExpress and still use only Ulefone today still as an example. They are better than Samsung even. So you can buy with confidence. Hope this helps.
@@carfanfan Thanks for your reply. Good to know! I just made a first purchase for some pedal covers and will see how it goes. I have to say their prices are low and their communication has been good. Shopping their website can be a little confusing because it seems there are many sellers of the same item as far as I can tell. Thanks again.
@@carfanfan Just received my first order from AliExpress, the CX-5 pedal covers. Easy installation and great look! Thanks for the info, will be doing more.
Hi I like your videos .I live in the UK and own a CX5 2.2 d can you get the bonnet stays for a 2015 model please and if so any recommendations.thanks Mark

The Chrome molding links you provided for this video are different from your video tutorial, "Fitting Chrome Moldings to the Mazda CX-5." I really like what you did and want to do the exact same thing. Which is the correct link that you bought the product from?
Hey Don. I must have made a mistake with the link in the other video then. The link in this video is definitely the moldings I fitted in that video. They do look good and are easy to fit too. They also help with people opening doors against one's beautiful CX-5 😉
Does the trim panel that covers your gear shifter hang over a bit at the front? I bought the kit but it's longer than the piano black cover and has a bit of an overhang into the empty console area. Wondering if they didn't cut it correctly
Hey Riki - yeah, you just slide em' on. After being on for a few weeks, they won't come off easily as they heat up and cool down with the OEM exhaust. Most people don't even know they're tips ;)
I just got the stainless steel CX-5 exhaust tips last week, and they make my 2019 CX-5 Signature look so sporty. Ans they fit over the existing exhaust perfectly, and they stay on, which was my initial concern.
Wow,... I bet she goes really fast now. (Some people have too much time/money on their hands,... Eh. Who gives a s#*t about such trivial things? Oh,... I forgot,... Car people. Don't forget to add some curb feelers,...:) ha ha ha Too each his own. :))
Yes I did. We moved to a different city at a higher altitude and it just didn't have enough power to keep up with all the highway traffic, so I traded it in for another Jaguar XF.
@@carfanfan I see, I was really enjoying your videos on it, I recently bought CX5 2019, justing tinkering with it and doing mods like you have been doing. Thanks for writing, keep up the great videos.

Your car looks sharp. Amazing how small improvements make a huge difference.
@@LisaRogerC Thanks Roger. It's great fun making little improvements along the way. 😉
Hi hilton nice mode. Can u please provide the link for led blue lights in the driver n passenger foot well? And installation video. Are you going to install leds interiors lights/number plates leds, replace oem intake with cold air intake, add exterior sequential indicators lights beside the fog lights, replace oem indicators front& rear lights with t20 leds and add racing beat exhaust?
@@kingshonen Thanks for watching. The link to the LED install is at the end of this video. Here's the link to the LED's - I just cut the 12v plug off so that I could hardwire them into the car - www.aliexpress.com/item/POSSBAY-12-LED-Strip-Lights-Universal-Car-Interior-Floor-Decorative-Lights-With-Cigarette-Charge-Footwell-Atmosphere/32838510227.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4d5wNfRl
Is there anywhere I can get the faux wood trim for the dashboard/console stripe? I haven't been able to find it anywhere online, as I have a Touring trim and the dashboard stripe is just a solid light gray stripe. i think the black wood look would look a lot better
We have owned eight different Mazda’s. We have a silver 2017 CX 5 sport we bought new. Still have it and still excited about it. Thank you for doing this excellent video. Your car looks fantastic! You have great taste in what you did to your CX 5, and love all the little details you have added along with the links. Going to add a few mods to our car to make it a little more enjoyable! Thank you!
After watching your hood quick strut video, I ordered and installed them on my CX-5. Your instructions were spot on, and the struts do a great job.
Thanks!
I love the pedal, I suggest Mazda should always put aluminum pedal in every car on display in any Motor Show like other company is doing, it adds appeal to it.
Excellent video Jag, I like your style. Picking up my 2020 CX 5 in white in 3weeks time!
My CX5 2017 GS - interior has stainless style on the door panels/window switch all four and the Gear shift Panel and all foot pedals in Stainless steel look, it matches much more prime feel. I recommend more
Hi. Im expecting the 2.0 IND next week. Cant wait to get down to some of these mods. Thank you for the detailed videos. As a Durbanite your experience helps me immensely😀
Nice mods Hilton. Looking really well. I wish we could get lighter colour interiors more easily here too, but it's rarely available unless it's something like a Jaguar or Alfa Romeo.
Thanks Andy. We have the same here with interiors. I would have gone for the white leather option if available here 😉😁
Great cosmetic mod Hilton. Next you should mod oem intake with cold air intake the n/a engine will sound amazing when u accelerate hard even better in sport mode. Add leds interior, exterior led indicators front& rear & add sequential indicators lights (big job but well worth it) looks like luxury suv at night time, lastly add racing beat exhaust n do a video on that. Cheers! My cx5 mod are cold air intake, all leds lights in/out/front/rear indicators & sequential indicators next to fog lights. Will do your cosmetics mod soon. Cheers! P.S you should also mod your infotainment system to mazda aio which u can install to watch movies, youtube, new speed odometer shows fuel trips etc, Android auto ver10.1 shows directions and distance on HUD! Reserve/parking sensor display red/yellow/green distance.
If you have time, could you post pics or links to some of the things you mention? A lot of what you mention is what I want to do as well. Any help would be appreciated.
Nice. The centre console plastic looks great.
Very classy accents on your CX- 5. My 2019 CX-5 GT Reserve's mods are:
->enameled "2.5 T" emblem I put on the lower right of my rear hatch. It tells those "uppity" Audi 2.0 T SUVs why they just got spanked.
->CORK SPORT Oil Catch Can to catch PCV system blow-by vapor and keep it from baking on the back of the intake valves. (After 5,000 miles I drained 1/3 cup of evil-looking brown liquid condensed crankcase vapors from it!
-> two gas hood struts, just like yours and matches the GT Reserve's upscale appearance
->three "CX 5" pedals W/ rubber inserts (like yours but for left hand drive) Very high quality covers/replacements
->K&N drop-in air filter (K&N cone filter makes too much induction noise for any extra HP over the drop-in filter)
->door handle metal surrounds (like yours)
->driver seat control metal covers
->glove box handle metal cover
->four brushed aluminum surrounds for the lower door speakers
->tail pipe extensions (Fringe benefit - keeps the tail pipes looking clean.)
->MAZDA roof racks
->MAZDA rear bumper metal protector trim
->MAZDA "trunk tonneau" security cover
->Dimple brand magnetized oil drain plug (strong rare earth magnet)
->MAZDA "CX-5 lighted front door sill covers and unlighted rear door sill covers.
->Cork Sport turbo downpipe (definitely better throttle response)
->1/3 tank of 100 octane gas ($8.00 per gallon!!) for much better acceleration.)
COMING SOON:
-> Michelin Cross Climate 245/50/19 all season tires when Michelin releases that size. (BEST all season tires available anywhere!)
All these mods you have shown are Chinese from Ali Express and to my mind are very good quality, in keeping with the quality of the SUV. My CX-5 GT Reserve 2.5 L. turbo, AWD is "Soul Crystal Red" and is gorgeous. I call it "Candy Apple Red" after the same color American hot rodders use for custom paint jobs.
LoL, thanks for watching Eric. I sadly traded my CX-5 for a new Jaguar XF last year, but it was an awesome SUV. I loved the space and the drive. It was very engaging to drive and quite imposing on the road. I'm a fan of the Kodo design. I once had a Cadillac CTS in Crystal Red, and I also called it candy apple red ;)
My condolences on your XF purchase. Jags are like some women, beautiful to behold and "fun to drive" but very high maintenance. Jus' sayin'...
@@ericb.4358 LoL, I know. But as fellow Jag owners will tell ya, we do it for the love 😂
Wow! Thank you for this. I stumbled upon your cargo cover video (not for installation, but because I was interested in purchasing one). Can't wait to try out these wood trims and cover up the piano black!
Thanks for watching. The wood trims are actually aluminium and very robust. They have a high quality feel and look to the point that gas attendees constantly praise me for how luxurious my car looks inside and that they would never have guessed looking at it from outside. I'd love to hear what you think when you've fitted yours.
Great additions to your CX5 very nice indeed, well done ! 👍😃
Great Mods! Really enhance the look of the car.
Absolutely beautiful man. Great job! I just bought a 2021 Carbon Turbo. So happy!!!!
Nice. The turbo is awesome. That's what I needed 😂
Like you said to each his own. Thanks for this video. Many of these things *DO* look nice, however I'm not attaching things to my expensive new car with two way tape. I want things to snap or bolt on just like the factory would do it. The idea of purchasing accessories off aliexpress doesn't knock my socks off either as I view that as all cheap junk from China. I'd feel like I was driving some kind of a, I don't know what car, with all the taped on accessories. Like I degraded it some how in quality. I would know how these parts were put on and I'd feel weird about it.
To be honest, many of the parts on this car were made in China - tested by Mazda of course, but still made in China. I was actually surprised by the quality of the chrome strips as they were made of metal and really good quality chrome. I thought they were plastic when I ordered them. And they held up very well to mud, rain and dirt and cleaned up perfectly with every wash. As for those interior covers I installed, they were rubbish. As you said, cheap junk. I wouldn't recommend them as they don't stand up to wear and tear very well. In hindsight, I would rather have wrapped all those items with a good 3M wrap. But hindsight is 20/20 ;)
just bought a 2021 mazda cx5 gt, this videos great for accessory ideas. im questioning if the exterior chrome will hold up to a boston winter, so gonna hold off for now.
otherwise bought the interior parts you showed except for some chrome pieces, great taste!
Congratulations on your purchase. Trust me, that particular chrome I fitted will hold up. It's metal and genuine chrome. Top quality product. I thought when I bought it that it was just plastic and was pleasantly surprised. It held up to water, mud, dirt, tar so I'm sure it will hold up with snow 😉
It really does look sharp
Went the other way lol 2019 white / brown interior
I had all the chrome deleted. The emblem and CX5 / Skyactiv badges were blacked out using another method and then I added a skunk works decal/ MACH 3+ decal and HABU SR71 decal to the back window because, well......thats a long story.
Hello Hilton, Hope you are well. This is nothing to do with the Mazda but I thought I would tell you that I
have just bought a 2011 XF and I am finding all your Videos on the car invaluable,please don't delete
them. Am very pleased with it so far but if I have any questions......Guess who I shall be asking!
Have a nice day. Mick
Hey Mick. Congratulations on your new ride. You will love that car more than anything you've ever loved. I still miss my XF to the point where I'm considering buying a 2014 or 2015 facelift XF. They are such good cars and way more reliable than the E class or A6 or 5 series. You can laugh at people driving those cars because they have expensive to repair unreliable heaps that will cost them dearly. If you service your XF when it's required, it will just keep going and going. You made a solid choice on the 2011. Well done! 😎
@@carfanfan Hi, Thanks as I said I am really pleased with it so far but have only had it 6 days.
Good stuff, looks great! 👍
Hey Nolan, thanks for watching. Love your channel and reviews. Keep em coming 😉
great done. Only a little. decent and very nice :)
Hey Jag! Just ordered the exhaust tips but question! Do the slide over the existing tips or do you have to remove them before putting these on?
They simply slide over the existing pipes. Easy install. If memory serves, they had a little screw on the under side that tightens them to the original pipes to prevent theft.
Thank you! Cant wait to install them👍🏽
nice video , question where did you buy the brushed aluminum wheel trim ?
You can get them here www.aliexpress.com/item/4000114983820.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.48a0c396i3DecI&algo_pvid=526aa9c9-ea83-4fd5-958c-354bfca838fb&algo_expid=526aa9c9-ea83-4fd5-958c-354bfca838fb-1&btsid=0b0a556d16055934864146263eadfd&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_
They put foam grips on for the hood stand…stop grabbing the bare metal.
You would have been better served showing the car in the sunlight.
Nice looking mods. I'm looking to do a few of them. Do you ever have problems purchasing parts through Aliexpress?
Hey Alan - I've bought literally hundreds of stuff on AliExpress and am currently a platinum member. I've had out of almost 1,000 purchases probably 5 that went wrong. But if you file a dispute, AliExpress always rule in your favor and refund you within 24 hours. Shipping can take a while though, so you have to be patient. You can also extend your closing time by requesting the seller to do so which enables you a longer time to file a dispute if the item arrives damaged or doesn't arrive at all. But on the whole, they are better than eBay when it comes to service and sellers will do anything to get a good rating from you. You just have to read each description of the items you are buying to ensure it's really what you think it is and perhaps TH-cam them to see if there are reviews on the items. Some are rubbish, but most are good. I've been a member since 2013 and have bought all my cell phones (Ulefone) on AliExpress and still use only Ulefone today still as an example. They are better than Samsung even. So you can buy with confidence. Hope this helps.
@@carfanfan Thanks for your reply. Good to know! I just made a first purchase for some pedal covers and will see how it goes. I have to say their prices are low and their communication has been good. Shopping their website can be a little confusing because it seems there are many sellers of the same item as far as I can tell. Thanks again.
@@alanmudge1781 Many sellers helps keep prices down. Sort your searches by lowest to highest including shipping to get the best deal.

The Chrome molding links you provided for this video are different from your video tutorial, "Fitting Chrome Moldings to the Mazda CX-5." I really like what you did and want to do the exact same thing. Which is the correct link that you bought the product from?
Hey Don. I must have made a mistake with the link in the other video then. The link in this video is definitely the moldings I fitted in that video. They do look good and are easy to fit too. They also help with people opening doors against one's beautiful CX-5 😉
didn't know the engine came with two cup holders
LoL, yeah I have no idea what those two holes are for - I think one to top up engine oil, but the other? I don't know. Must take a look ;-)

Still miss the Jaguar videos..
Does the trim panel that covers your gear shifter hang over a bit at the front? I bought the kit but it's longer than the piano black cover and has a bit of an overhang into the empty console area. Wondering if they didn't cut it correctly
Hey James. I sold my CX-5 so I can't check, but if memory serves, it fitted like a glove. I can't recall it hanging over a bit.
@@carfanfan Thanks Hilton, where did you get your kit from if you can remember?
Hi how do you install the exhaust tips? Do they just slide on with no screws or bolts?
Hey Riki - yeah, you just slide em' on. After being on for a few weeks, they won't come off easily as they heat up and cool down with the OEM exhaust. Most people don't even know they're tips ;)
Do these accessories fit the 2019?
They sure do
I just got the stainless steel CX-5 exhaust tips last week, and they make my 2019 CX-5 Signature look so sporty. Ans they fit over the existing exhaust perfectly, and they stay on, which was my initial concern.
Wow,...
I bet she goes really fast now.

Did you sell ur Mazda CX 5?
Yes I did. We moved to a different city at a higher altitude and it just didn't have enough power to keep up with all the highway traffic, so I traded it in for another Jaguar XF.
