Hi all, I've been posting around for a few weeks but thought I would formally say hello. Picked up a used Mazda 3 yesterday in Black Mica. I know black is a pain in the butt to maintain, but I love it.
See you all around!

Sweet congrats!!! Lots of 05 black micas around here these days. Enjoy!!!
PS it's really not that much of a pain to take care of!
congrats on the new ride..What's with all the 05's all of a sudden lol
Everyone's lease is up hahaha
Ok, so here she is pre-wash, post-tint.
is that tint 35/20?
It's 5/35 (I'm hoping that means 35 up front and 5 in the rear)
lol nice! and yes 35 is in the front and 5 is in the back..how hard is it to see out the back window?
It's not hard at all, but I haven't driven at night yet. Though I really don't care if it's hard to see, it looks saweeet.
Phil, I've read around that you'd be my guy for TM3 plates?
Great thanks!
Here are my pics again from a different source, looks like twitpic doesn't like direct links.
Looks great!
Congratulations and welcome aboard.
I hate to be the one to ask...but is there any rust on your car? (problem areas are rear wheel wells, rear quarter panels, 3rd brake light on trunk, trim around doors...)
Mazda 3 GT 2008, Sunlight Silver
Car looks great, 5% in the rear is going to be hard to see out of at night.
You'll be sticking your head out the window if you have to reverse into a spot or something with no light. Not so much fun in winter.

I'm sure it will be an adjustment, but no pain no gain.
Knowing about the rust issues before buying this car, I thoroughly inspected it. It was pristine except for a tiny spec of rust starting to rust in the front driver side wheel wells. I will get this taken care of before it escalates. Rust proofing next week as well.
