I just brought home a 2017 Deep Crystal Blue GT with Parchment interior. I love the white seats with the dark exterior. I found out that G2 makes custom caliper paint in Mazda Soul Red (at an extra cost) which matches the red in the interior. Done.

Congrats! And excellent choice of car color
Since you have the 2017, could you take a picture of your active driving display? Apparently they've added some color to it I would just like to see how it looks.

I heard the updated the Mazda3 with some color but didn't realize it made its way to the CX3 already. I'd also love to see a picture!
I intend to place red film over the mirror so it matches better than the green.

Yeah I could be wrong and maybe it's not on the CX-3 yet.
There's no change from '16, it's still green.
Brush. I put on three coats although the can comes with enough paint for probably twice that. I just got tired/bored of painting and three is plenty. I wouldn't want to try to mask off everything you'd need to spray it.
The G2 kit I used comes with a spray can of cleaner for the calipers but I literally painted mine the day after I brought the car home so there was no need to use the spray to clean them. If that wasn't the case they definitely recommend cleaning the calipers first.

Poor design = build up of debris behind front tire
Appearance & BodyThought I'd let folks know that I discovered a poor design behind the front fenders. I discovered it today when I went to wash the car. The plastic piece behind the front fenders allows debris to build up and is very hard clean. The one piece was broken at the dealer yesterday while they were...- 4

Confirm part / installation help please? Trim -> Front Right Door -> Insert D10F-50-681
Appearance & BodyHi there, First of all thanks for reading my post. The CX-3 was my dream car for years and I finally got one last fall! Unfortunately I was helping a friend move apartments today and damaged my trim in the process, so it's time to pony up and see if I can get this taken care of myself (I'm in...- 3

Just the tip - anyone with exhaust tips?
Appearance & BodyNot usually one for form over function but since my CX-3 now since 1.5" higher than stock my exhaust looks a little puny. I'd rather not do a full cat-back or axle-back system. Anyone running some exhaust tips just to play dress-up? What size do you run (in and out)? Did you have to drill...- 2

"Aftermarket" roof racks/rails/cross bars
Appearance & BodyAnyone ever order/use the roof racks and rails off of AliExpress or ebay? Seems one could order the whole kit-n-caboodle with rails and crossbars for about half of what OEM would cost. I can't imagine they could screw it up too badly. Any opinions on quality or preferred sellers?- 6
