mazdathree3's III

Finally going to start a members ride thread! Just wanted to start off by saying thank you to all the members, moderators and sponsors for all the help. I will try to update this thread as often as possible. I have a few things planned for summer 2011 and my goal is to keep the ride as clean as possible.

The car is a 2010 Mazda 3 GT Sedan (CWP) which was purchased in August of 2010.

Here is a list of current mods / (places I purchased the items from).
- 23% Uniform Solar Guard Tint / (Audio Heaven)
- Yellow Lamin-X Fog Light Film / (www.lamin-x.com)
- 2010 Eibach Prokits / (Nextmod)
- Window Visors / (Nextmod)
- 3000k Ollo HID Fog Kit / (Garage16)

- I have rims and a body part that still needs to be installed when it gets warmer!

And lastly, here are a few pictures that I took after I got the Eibach Prokits installed by Chris@Street Performance (great service and work from both Jimmy and Chris!)

Haha, rims and the body part should be on mid April. Just threw back the OEMs to be on the safe side until it stays warm for good. Your ride is looking sweet, I had RX8's that were never put on and then I traded them :(

Nice drop and pics!! Nice mod list for 2011!

good job! now keep going :p

Car looks good man :) keep us posted when you get body part and rims on!

Any plans for side sills? :chuckle

nice ride, looks good! relocate the front licence plate to the side

Beautiful GT buddy! Nice drop. ;)

Looks good, clean for sure, what is the next plan?

saw it at SP yesterday, caught my attention pretty quick. really clean ride.

Thanks guys for all the compliments!!!! :blush

As for "nextmods" rims and a body part still needs to be installed. Also, I will be painting the calipers. Anyone did theirs 1 wheel at a time and managed to put back their wheels safely without curing for 2 hours? And that should be it for this summer, maybe an intake or front and rear lips but that is wishful thinking :P

Car looks great man.
I've done my own calipers before but it's a total pain in the ass. If you're as meticulous as I am, I highly recommend Allen, from Simply Tire. Check the Sponsors section for more information.

its easy man you just clean the calliper off, paint it put your rim back on (then do the same process for all the callipers) then just let your car sit for a couple hours and you should be good. takes a good 2-3 hours to get it done then if you want to be safe you can let the car sit and dry but the paint kits dry really fast.

Finally had some time and good weather over the long weekend to install the body part mod which is OEM side sills from Joe @ MoT (Thanks again for them!) Here are a few pictures for now until I get the left side installed too :(

Love the side skirts....

Looks good! Side skirts are such a huge improvement.

Finally got off my lazy rear end and did some stuff to the car. Calipers painted, car detailed and rims are on! Here's some pictures I quickly snapped on my crappy phone camera :(

Thanks Gabe! Trying to go for the clean and subtle look. I think a red lip would actually be pretty sweet, might have to do some photoshopping :P

Haha, sorry Ryan! I'm terrible with names. I guess it's your handle that causes this :P

Looks good buddy. Too bad I didn't get to see it in person when you were at JR Auto getting the calipers painted.
I've always liked white on white myself. White Enkei's was my first set of aftermarket rims on my Mazda3 (I think?!?)

Haha thanks Chris! It turned out pretty good, the paint would probably have worked out better for the guys if I bought a can of primer or silver to lay down first as the red was a bit on the thin side but they made it work with a few more coats. How's the brakes working out so far? They looked great especially the front rotors since they are larger. And yeah I got lucky picking up these rims as they are 2nd hand but I guess it worked out in the end :P
