    After a long time of researching cars I picked up a new gen 3 Mazda 3 Sport GT in white from Jeff last Thursday and immediately got it opticoated by @hamza7

    I have just a few pics from my phone so not the greatest quality.




    Definitely doing some rust protection. And will have to be vigilant about it as it. Looks like the edge of the wheel-well is a prime target for rust.

    Very nice! Id recommend the paint protection film too... not noticeable too much in white but I would definitely recommend getting the bumper and hood done.

    I was so close to getting a white mz3 but I chose to go with grey cause I got a great deal. Really wish I went with white though! Next car or truck will be for sure.

    Thanks guys. Where's a good place for paint protection film? I'll have to see as I worry about the paint fading at different rates and such.
