The only thing I like about it is the idea of a widebody. I can't say I like any body part on the car.

looks kinda cool, but I'm not a fan of the overzealous use of scoops, extractors, and non-functional vortex generators....on a supercar that needs downforce, sure, but on a MZ3 its a bit much. And why you'd choose to dump all that $$$ into a 2.0 model is a mystery to me...It may look like an exotic, but probably loses to civics and elantras

anyone know where that rear emblem is from / what it's supposed to signify??

Jeff, the dashmat pic is from a different car. I posted it to compare with the dash of the one in question:

If the dash was the only thing done to the interior, that lame.

Overall the car is trying to look like a subie w/a wide kit:

All mods on this M3-GTR were custom made by the owner as he's one of the Taiwan body kit suppliers.

The op and that gtr 3 are horrible. Took it way too far. in the op, maybe the front bumper is okay. and If someone has that kind of money to put into their 3 to make it look like a GTR, and I'm assuming that was expensive as hell, just save for an actual gtr

It's always a pleasure to share. Those modded Mazda3s are actually from Taiwan.

The Mazda3 S badge is actually stock part and Axela is aftermarket part from Taiwan.
