....no that was not fixed yet either but will be soon. I'm actually surprised the Camera didn't catch mr. curb's wrath.

Nice ride

nugga? Is that a term for noob? :) I am going to ask again this week with the auto collison shop I went to to REALLY make sure its the price I got. Estimates don't usually mean THAT is the price correct (aka hidden fees)? If its cash price and I find out theres something wrong in the later run, I can't go back and tell them as there will be no receipt.

Hey Ogata what's the % of your tints?

Forgot...I think it was 38% front.......28% back...its the reflective kind which really accents my car's colour since the tints are slightly greenish..will take night pics once my Colour fogs are in.

Edit: How come I can't edit my original post thread? Is there another post limit stepping stone I have to face? It was a journey to obtain the edit button.

nice car dude + love the chrome handles.
where did you get the handles from??

Thats what I thought too but when I compared it to my buddie's MS3, his car is lower but I get the feeling everytime I drive on the road why my car looks lower than say a standard 3 sedan or hatch on 16's and i find that they are higher...

I love the placement of your TM3 sticker.

Thanks! I just added a MS3 Valence along with slowly doing a LED interior and scrapped the idea of powdercoating my stock snowflakes which are currently on my winters until spring though I am planning on getting some new 17's or 18's and Enkei RSV's in hyperblack on my rig and perhaps blue calipers. Any other suggestions? Can someone photochop this on my current pics?

I'm also debating whether I should to 3000k HID fogs or go with a film and halogen..budget is not a concern for me.

Here are some teasers before I wash and re-detail this baby. New rims and wheels!!

Its a OEM part which you can get from a dealer though its not as good as Osman's LED side indicators. However, I find it matches well with the LED side markers :winner

Just got them powdercoated and mounted. Can't wait till Spring!

http://www.torontomazda3.ca/forum/sh...ewpost&t=39732 for the review

I got more things in store this winter as well.

Looking great! I'm gonna have to get you to learn me in the ways of detailing...I just know how to soap and wash...never waxed a car in my life. XD

Ok... I've come out of hiding with some new pics. Will take some close up pics tomorrow. New Lugs! Love the look!

Looking good man......can't wait to see the pics tomorrow!

Just some advice. Try not to take a pic of your car with a garbage truck as the background! LOL
