[blkdaniel]

Hi All,

Im about to get a Mazda 3 GS, This is what it looks like
Front: https://gyazo.com/048b0c668c590042d7cf2877ebfd40ad
Rear: https://gyazo.com/fc9fd79bf61939de4b90c51a52892f43

And im looking to do Exterior/Interior Mods slowly, at the moment i want to start off with some exterior mods before i do any performance changes and was wondering on what things i could do and the cost roughly

Welcome!

To be honest the best thing for you to do is head over to the Member Rides section and take a look at any second gen ride thread to get ideas and then that way you know who to directly ask questions such as for price or install info http://www.torontomazda3.ca/forum/fo...6-Member-Rides

You can buy cans of plastidip for roughly $15-25 each

+1 Check out member rides for different ideas.

Popular stuff:

Window Tint
Lowering springs
Rims
Different Grille
LED stuff
Fog Lights
Lip Spoiler
hood/roof/whole car wrap
TM3 Plates
Stickers add HP

I would suggest you look more into suspension mods unless you have a speed3. That's where you will see a noticeable different in the corners.

Shocks/struts
lowering springs
coilovers
rear sway bar
brakes

You can contact forum sponsors for pricing on any of the above items (or google)

after 50 posts (don't spam) you can browse the classified for new/used stuff.

Rims/tires - GTA Wheels (facebook group) if you're located in the GTA

Happy Planning

Tint first forsure... I would personally go with new lowering springs/ coilovers first because any car looks good at lowered height with stock rims. If you plan on doing a more aggressive fitment or you want it to be flush, it will look odd with a stock height... make sure it passes the shoe test

Has anyone put a Aftermarket Spoiler on their car? Any recommendations?

I was looking into that as well, the bayson r spoiler is one that's a speed3 replica and it looks good. Not sure if an actual speed3 one will fit. I think nextmod will be able to get you one

If you're serious about performance - maybe look into getting into a Speed3

There's a few members that ended up either trading in their regular 3 for a speed3 and/or wishing they had just gotten the speed to begin with.

Did you not end up going with the one that goes with the KS kit??

Other than the ones that go with the few kits that are out there, there are at least 2 other options on ebay & aliexpress. I got mine from Aliexpress

Yeah I went with the kit but opted out of the spoiler since I am torn between the Knight Sports Authentic one and the Flatter looking Mazdaspeed Generation 2 version, both look good but just on the fence

HID/LEDS or tints 😂

[bastymn]

I would do the tint. Blocks the sun's rays and enhances the aesthetic look without spending too much money.

Got some headlight modifications ready for you,
And interior leds

tints first and foremost! btw, even if you're a noob, most mods you just buy and get someone to install it for you. unless you wanna learn to do it yourself.
