Mazda parts reviews

I just had the windshield replaced on my CX-50 a two of weeks ago. A local shop handled the install but ordered the glass directly from Mazda. My family’s had bad experiences with aftermarket glass in the past, so that pushed me toward OEM; especially since my car’s less than a year old.

If you’re paying out of pocket, aftermarket could still be the more practical option. I went through my insurance, so it was fully covered, but the total bill came to about $1,700 and the glass took nearly four months to arrive.

All you need is good studded tires like Nokian and you will be fine.

Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires are great in dry & rain.

My favorite tires for the CX5 are kumho crugen, best tires I've had on my CX5

Now post how much they want to change spark plugs. I've usually seen dealers asking for $200-$250 on a 4 banger. Or I can buy some nice NGK plugs for under $60 and get them changed within my lunch hour in the parking lot.

I have Morimoto Super 7 headlights, they are amazingly bright but look way out of place on a Miata. I keep my lights down during the day so I don't scare any other Miata owners out there. I outshine Teslas and Porches in my area at night.

OEM plugs are NGK as well.

Eurocarparts sell Bosch front brake discs for £70 each = £140 and £43 for front brake pads, they probably don't use ECP but many suppliers will be in the same ball park so does sound expensive but it depends on the brand they used.

I’m on my second windshield with a CX-50 as well. I think the factory windshield just may not be that great.

I've owned this vehicle a little over 3 months. This will be the second time I'm replacing it... yeah, I'd say this windshield is weak..
