Oooooh those are those funky LED tails, i saw them on someone's black sedan before. Looks good on Silver as well.

[ParsM3GT]

Thank you. I love the tail lights.

[mazda3boss]

damn i always wondered how those tails would look on silver, looks like i need to get some :)

[-TEXAS2LO-]

sick RX8 wheels man !!

Were did you get those hahahaha

[ParsM3GT]

sick RX8 wheels man !!

I cant remember. I think it was someone from this site. j/k
Yep i think i will lower the car now. The car is a little higher now.
Big difference with these wheels and tires. Alot smoother and softer ride.
Thanks again 2LO.

[WhiteSpeed3]

looks good i want rx8 rims

[Caz]

Rims look awesome on this colour.

[3GFX]

... funky LED tails, i saw them on someone's black sedan before. ...

I like my tails to ;)


Thank you. I love the tail lights.

I love the aftermarket LED taillights. A suggestion for your silver car would be to get clear reflectors and third brakelight. It would make your cars bum just POP!! (not the smelly way, the looks way :chuckle)


sick RX8 wheels man !!

Were did you get those hahahaha

Such nice wheels, a clean look to the car!

[chinsterr]

Love the wheels .

Not feeling those aftermarket LEDs tho , thats just my opinion.

[Jeff-TheBiz]

Lowering it should take care of that...

Don't say I didnt warn you... but to look this good, it's gotta hurt a little...

[BiG-ED]

very clean
what kind of drop are u feelin?

[ParsM3GT]

Not sure yet. Can`t make up my mind. One minute I want to lower it the next I dont. It still looks good not lowered.

[ParsM3GT]

Thanks man. Nice shots.

[wouc89]

Nice silver 3!!! I have the same LED taillights!! did u have to seal them before install!!! I didnt and this winter I had condensation issues!!!! where did u get the grill?

[ParsM3GT]

I didnt and this winter I had condensation issues!!!! where did u get the grill?

Funny that you mention that. I never had condensation until recently. I noticed a little in my left reverse light a few weeks ago. Not sure why it happened this year, I`ve had the lights for 4 years.
I didn`t seal them before install though.


Nice silver 3!!!

Thanks.

[wouc89]

u better seal it as fast as u can before it gets worse! cause me too it started with almost nothing and it got worse during the winter and with the amount of time I went to the car wash!!!:bang

[wouc89]

but seriously where did u get the grill? I like how it matches the rest of your car

[ParsM3GT]

but seriously where did u get the grill? I like how it matches the rest of your car

sorry forgot about that. I bought it from Nextmod, one of the sponsors here.

[Queue]

Clean. Keep it that way. Just change your headlights and fogs to HIDs or something with a 6000 colour output. Then it'll look crispy clean.

[rzapata]

Very nice HIDs!! :) Good job!!

Question about the fog HIDs, did you need a relay for that as well or is just direct plug and play?

I guess you didn't need to remove the bumpers right? Or did you have to?

[newfieboy15]

I guess you didn't need to remove the bumpers right? Or did you have to?
what the front bumper no u just go from under the car and do it

[rzapata]

But you do need to unscrew the plastic thing that's covering the underneath right? Or am I just babbling.. :)

[newfieboy15]

no you are right its only 3-4 screws i think on both sides and then you pull them down and then there you go your at the fog lights

[rzapata]

That's good to hear.. I'll be putting in my fogs/hid combo in the coming weeks and I've seen DIY instructions where people removed the front bumpers.. It's just that, I'm not that comfortable removing the bumpers..

Thanks for the info!! :thumbsup

I'm now noticing you don't have a front plate. Haven't you been pulled over yet?

[ParsM3GT]

I always take them off at the end of winter to give them a good cleaning.

You can see them laying the grass drying out.

Great shots! If I ever get RX-8's in the future, I will definitely get them powder coated that colour! Are they gunmetal? Where did you get them done if you don't mind me asking?

Yes they are gunmetal. I got them done at Quy`s Coating. One of our sponsors.

[ParsM3GT]

Picked up my front lip yesterday from nextmod. Unfortunately though I`m going to have to sell it. :( I scuffed a small part on the bottom of the lip. The bottom of my driveway is to steep.
It`s to bad cause I really like how this lip looks on the car.

[ParsM3GT]

Plasti-dip emblems yestarday. Also did the trunk lock.

http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b42/wolverine29/Mazda%203%20parts/DSC00288.jpg

[ST3ALTH]

I would take the plasti dip in the center of the emblem off. It looks like a big black dot lol.

Other than that it looks great buddy!

[ParsM3GT]

That`s was the original plan but I thought would leave it like this for a few days, see if it grows on me.

[Skip]

Car looks great, I think you should get a sharkfin!

[wouc89]

sharkfin for sure with a rear spoiler! that would look NICE!! I'm picking up my rx8 TONIGHT!!! :bana Do u have any performance tires (225/40/18 im guessing) u recommend? Also, how low did drop ur car for not experiencing any rubbing or problems for so long?

[ParsM3GT]

Always been on the fence about the shark fin. I like my stubby antenna.

Yes I'm running on 225/40/18. Brand of tire is Federal. They are a little noisey but I can live with it.
I have eibach pro kit installed. Can't remember the exact drop.

[hit26k]

No sharkfin! Your car is so clean and simple. Leave it as is. Less is more.

allright cool! The rims that I picked up came with 225/45/18. do u think that would without any drop by the time I find a set of 225/40/18?

[ParsM3GT]

When I bought my wheels they also had 225/45/18 on them. Used them for one summer then bought new ones. I had no rubbing with the 225/45/18 lowered. If your not lowered with 18" wheels on it will look bad. Car will be to high, look like a 4x4.

[wouc89]

YEP its done I installed my rims today. Will be lowed in the next week or so. cuz i have 98k on my car I have to change my suspension. I just havent decided yet between adjustable suspension or coils overs (i was told today its not the same thing). Just doenst wanna feel like im driving a go kart! doesnt look that bad not lowered though but u right it does feel higher

And it's not modding at this point...it's "tweaking". Just adding final touches to compliment the other mods

"Tweaking".... lol. I think I'll just use that term from now on to lessen any guilt I might feel from adding anything more to my car!

I will find one and post it.
