I got one last October. If I could go back I would probably not get it, but get Stonegaurd instead. Dirt still gets under it around the contours of the hood. The bra chips just as easy as the hood so it looks pretty bad after a while. The ends that fold under the hood will crack and eventually fall off. I took mine off this spring and probably won't put it back on except maybe for the winter.

Don't... I had mine on for about 3 monthes. I have had it off for about a year and you can still see where the bra was. Left behind what looks like a film. I just got a bugsheild. Alot happier with that. A little more expensive but not alot of contact with the car.

Mine didn't turn brown. It just a clear film or something like a film. I can't seem to get it off. I have clayed my car and waxed it several times to no avail.

I just got mine and it looks real sharp. But i plan on taking it off during the winter months and going with a hood deflector...

Yes they do...$76.95 Canadian. I believe it's the same part as the P5.

I also have this feeling that it is only a dealer installed option here in Canada. When comparing the USA Mazda site versus the Canadian Mazda site, only the Canadian site offers the hood deflector as an accessory...
