    Default Jsac2284 - 2005 Mazda3 GT - 2012 Mazda3 GS Skyactiv

    The '05









    And the Skyactiv with first mod starting with LED strips acting like fog lights.







    Mod plans for the summer(Going more subtle with this car), Obviously tint glass, HIDs I want to do asap), in-dash Head Unit, LED DRL, Map, Dome, Plate lights, side skirts, and not sure what kind of rims to get.

    Might as well add in the winter beater to the set.

    LED strip looks interesting.

    Cool use of the front LEDs, where did you get them?

    It's the nerdy side of me, I'm a transformers geek. I don't know about Toronto and area, but here in Calgary if you guys ever visit and look around in the summer, there has been a significant increase of drivers(tuner and casual family vehicles alike) that started adding transformers badges to their cars since the first movie came out.

    Once upon a time there was a rare handful of us during those earlier years.

    I hope I'm posting these pictures right this time... Finally got tinted. 20% back, 35% front. Keeping tradition with myself, kept an autobot logo on. Pending on the decision to plasti-dip all emblems, or paint to body color. And got 8000k HIDs on which I feel looks pretty with the LED strips for fogs IMO. Might consider painting the front bumper/grill body color, ionno. Lookin' around for some summer rims now. Will smoke the tail and headlights down the road as well.

    Cool placement of the leds. Also interesting to see those tails and headlights actually installed on a 1st gen.

    The car's looking unique, I like it! How'd you manage to install the front led strips on your lower bumper? How difficult was it?
