    Default New guy and new to modding my Mz3

    Hey Guys!
    I just bought my first own car. Got a 08 Mazda 3 sport GT. I am a complete newbie when it comes to modified cars. Hopefully some of you can help me out with some tips! Would be greatly appreciated. Also, what are the best sites to order Mazda 3 mods from? What should I do first?

    Thank you so much for your help!!

    Corksport makes aftermarket Mazda stuff.

    Depends where you want to start!

    Window tints were my first mod. HIDS are easy and affordable. Interior Led swap.

    Or rims/tires.

    // Window Tints
    // Interior Lighting
    // HID's
    // Focal Racing Strut Bar
    // Blacked-out Badges

    Awesome, I 'll look in to it. Any idea of what muffler I can get for a good sound? I want to change to whole exhaust but for now just a new muffler.

    Thanks!!

    Check out our sponsors on TM3 or visit their shops. There is also an exhaust thread to give you some ideas for exhausts. Welcome!

    Just wait until you're ready to do the whole exhaust system.
