Hey, I've been creeping the site for a couple weeks or so, mainly to learn.
But I'll be getting a Mazda 3 sport...05' or 06' in a month and have numerous amount of mods that I plan on doing to it....only problem is I have no idea how to install anything or where to go to get them installed... =( If anyone’s able to help that would be awesome!

-Where could I go to get a body kit installed and painted?
-How do I go about painting certain parts of the dash without busting it? (I'm very rough with stuff like that)
-Where do I go to get tint done? And how dark can your tint be while still being legal?
-Is there a place I can go to change headlights and taillights?

Oh geeze so much stuff to be done!

Thanks
Jordanna

Welcome! I'm from aurora, just a few minutes away!

And in response to your questions..

If you go down to Peter at nextmod (forum sponsor), he can give you all the information you'll ever need on body kits, including painting and installation.

You can get tint done at audio heaven, also a sponsor, and if I'm not mistaken the darkest legal tint is 35%, but you can easily get away with 20.

For headlights and taillights, I'm not much help, but I'm sure if you search and contact some sponsors, you'll get the info you need.

Welcome to tm3! See you on the roads at some point I'm sure

Just to comment on this point, the Ontario tint laws are essentially left to the interpretation of the officer. If they feel like being a dick they can for any sort of tint, since the criteria is that it "substantially obscures the interior of the motor vehicle when viewed from outside". 35% seems to be widely considered a safe, unofficial legal limit.

Colour coating obscuring interior

(3) No person shall drive on a highway a motor vehicle on which the surface of the windshield or of any window to the direct left or right of the driver’s seat has been coated with any coloured spray or other coloured or reflective material that substantially obscures the interior of the motor vehicle when viewed from outside the motor vehicle. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 73 (3).

Welcome to TM3! I have a 20% tint all around on my 3 and I don't think it even looks that dark.... I can't wait to see some pics of your ride!
