[jonja]

ya i really like these too. especially from the back

[vipist]

man there is a black one at work and i thought the same thing those would look sooooo sweet lowered body kit and rolling on some dishes. I almost traded in my BSP xb for one.

[mdenoga]

i saw a sweet metallic blue mazda 5 at the last nhra sport compact finals at pomona. had 18s or 19s.

[Chapelle]

they're called Premacy in japan. I used to have a few pics of vip styled ones but as you can see here they have potential.

[bbdaisukidesu]

man, i like.
i dont like the stock tailights though. i hate that "euro" stuff.

[gohkal]

I was also tempted to trade in my vehicle for the Mazda 5 when it came out. Its definitely a good buy if you need a tall wagon.

That one is Ed Bergenholtz's ride. check out http://www.nittochampion.com. He is sporting the damd kit.

[mdenoga]

Wow too bad they managed to make it look like a Honda...

[4sinduct]

I have the samething black with the DAMD kit not sure what kind of rims to get im not planning on lowering the car since it's my DD any suggestions? don't want something too bumppy

[aireck]

i was also thinking of getting one of these....
small and still has 3 rows....!!!!!

[EVADE]

thats nice!! wouldnt mind getting one.

[Orataro]

As stated in another forum, the wife and I are trading in our box for a Mazda 5.

Currently waiting for the 08 models to come out next month as they will have added features we wanted.

Have already ordered a Kenstyle body kit for it and currently looking at some wheels.

Just a picture of the Kenstyle kit.

[gohkal]

I saw a Mazda 5 getting a DAMD kit put on at the bodyshop next to my house. The guy said the US spec back bumper was longer by about 2 inches so they needed to cut and fabricate that peice to fit properly. Does the 08 conform to the Japanese measurements?

[firelizard]

US bumpers are longer because of the impact rebar.
You could either remove the rebar, or lengthen the bumper.

It's the first Mazda minivan I'd buy...it looks sleeker than their cars!

[BIGGZ]

When I used to work at a Mazda dealership,I always liked how the Mazda5 looked.I too said it would look sick slammed on some rims.and a motor swap from a Mazdaspeed3 would make it even better.

[the_saint]

Kenstyle & Damd kits...

Not necessarily 'VIP' but not bad looking IMO.

[garagefresh]

OMG Kenstyle is at it again. They amaze me with the sexiness of their kits.

[SkidMark]

Here's my new family mover... just picked up a 2007 Mazda5 Touring last week. So far just tint (and tinted tail lights... I can't stand the euro-ish tails) and dropped on Tein S-Tech springs from a Mazda3. I'm going to keep it simple and clean since it's my lady's daily driver. I gotta research a bit for wheel fitments but these things seem to like high offset wheels. :signdammit:

[Pagong]

Im looking at those vans too, but it kinda reminds me of a Toyota Matrix.

[MauiAlti]

nice pics SkidMark!!!

[dancar420]

gawd I love these things. but those tailight gots to go...

[vip tint+glass]

i HATE tinting those, too many windows, 11

[dancar420]

^^hey do you work for falken tires...

[bippU!]

my wife and i are looking at the MPV, and the 5 as we speak . . . . .

[vip tint+glass]

^^hey do you work for falken tires...

nah but i have the car thats in the falken ads.

[SkidMark]

nice pics SkidMark!!!

Thanks! Those pictures were taken the day I dropped it... now that its settled it's lower by another 1/2" or so all the way around.

I'm waiting for the day it rides like this --> :turborant2:

[JDMJim]

gawd I love these things. but those tailight gots to go...

Whem I saw these in Japan, I saw them with both chrome and all red tails. And yeah, the red looked much better.

[bigdreams]

i wanted a Mazda 5 when i was looking at trading cars. i was stepping out of my 2000 Chevy Malibu. the 5 was too expensive for my income. i was only making $8.50/hr and am now making $9/hr. still can't afford one. so i got an 06 toyota tacoma. i love my truck, but i still want a 5. i was thinking of taking out the middle row, fabbing up a new floor to make the middle row completely disappear (no seat rails, no cuts in the carpet, no nothing. just smooth) and having the third row seats padded a little better and have them heated and cooled. it'd basically be a compact limo. i'd also put a huge tv behind the front seats to act as a divider. the entire interior would be really plush and comfortable. i'd also add a mini bar and woodgrain tables. of course slam it on some deep dish 18s and tint the windows. i'd definitely go w/ the new 08 model b/c of the new tail light design. i really dig the LED lights

[LOVEhateVIP]

they look really nice ive seen one at the sd airport with big brakes and kitted .. defitaley would look good if some one made it vip..

[SkidMark]

Here's my lady's daily driver...

with Mazdaspeed3 wheels

http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j105/buhboi/Rides/CIMG4628Large.jpg

and now with RX-8 wheels.

http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j105/buhboi/Rides/CIMG4809Large.jpg

[AME_VIP]

Looks great with the RX8 wheels! They look really nice in white.

[J Stuff]

skidmark - now thats pretty clean

[replica]

been a fan of these for awhile, and my bro almost bought one, but the 4-spd auto was a dealbreaker. needs a 5A and a little more grunt. look great, tho

This thing is soo sick! I have always loved these! I would do red tails but whateves :shrug: I love it anyway!

[SkidMark]

Thanks guys! =)

Yo replica... I believe the 2008s have LED tails, a more aggressive front end and a 5spd auto.

[aireck]

LOOKS SIK..I LIKE...I MIGHT GET ONE SOON..BUT WIFE WANTS AN oDDY!!

[replica]

cool, glad to see they stepped up to the 5-spd for '08 :biggthumpup:

[crxgames]

i HATE tinting those, too many windows, 11
Be glad no one brought you a 25 window vw bus :P

I keep seeing these all over locally wishing someone had one slammed.

[SkidMark]

Sorry to bump an old thread but...

Do you consider Mazda5's to be a wagon or a van?

[urmyhero4now]

Sorry to bump an old thread but...

Do you consider Mazda5's to be a wagon or a van?

my lady and i were debating this last night about your car...i said it was a van


But she says its a wagon because it has 4 regular opening doors..ie:not a sliding back door like a van would.

[SkidMark]

Then it's a van cause the back doors slide... :shrug:

[urmyhero4now]

oh really...BAM i knew it was a van....its too large to be a wagon.

[NYC03Alti]

According to the EPA, it's a wagon.

We just picked up a red '08 Grand Touring last month, and I'm itching to mod it lol. Too bad nobody makes a kit for the 08+ yet.

[slideshow240]

they only made 23 window bus'. and i would love one of these myself...but on air and 19's.

[JDMJim]

still a wagon in Japan cuz it's small

[drftard]

damn i thought it was a wagon... shiett!

[chandlerGTi]

Anyone else done one? I just picked one up 2012 in red with a *gasp* 6spd! I got rid of my BMW for this, love the space and the ability to fit my whole family if necessary. OZ Mitos and tint going on this week and drop it shortly. Don't see any kits or anything else for them though.

[EstimaStyleWgnClub]

I have seen two fixed up Mazda 5 in LA. They look pretty nice!

[trdkamuri51o]

[REV-01]

[chandlerGTi]

That silver one looks horrible.

[JDMJim]

[chandlerGTi]

Mine is red and seems to carry the shape better

[F50Q45]

[chandlerGTi]

Wheel offset sucks, I got some OZs that I'm going to really have to work to get lips on this van.

[JDMJim]

isn't it a 55 offset or something? nice monoblocks would do the trick

[chandlerGTi]

Stock 16x7 is et52.3. My Mitos are 17x9 et41 and the poke, 1.5" lips

[JDMJim]

okay

The six speed in the 2012 is very slick, I've got 18k miles on mine since November. I'm working on getting it really low but this stupid suspension is a pain in my neck.
