Those tails were from a company called DEPO, I bought them as a set with the black housing headlights. The tails were LED's. Kinda Ricey looking during the day but at night they looked really good and were stupid bright. I have better pics of them jsut lemme know if you want me to post them.

And keeping the paint like that on the old car was basically a second job. LOL

The interior of my MS3 is the same as the 07's. The new interior is not out until build dates from the second half of 08'.

Congrats on the new car, you're gonna love it.

I have a Cosmic Blue since the white wasn't an option when I purchased. If I was you, I would put 20% tint on the windows, black out the badges, tint the rear bumper reflectors and get black wheels without the chrome rings and leave it alone.

Then, for me at least, I would have the perfect MS3.

Any engine mod plans?

The only Mods power wise this car will be getting as it is my daily driver are, Cobb SRI, Cobb AP and some form of catback. For looks It will get tint and maybe some powder coated stock rims (gunmetal). I'll get some lighter weight rims and lower it some where down the road but its not a priority right now. I've done a few things looks wise to my other cars but I'm just not into that sort of thing any more, the stock MS3 looks amazing as is. I am really enjoying the sleeper look that it has, when I had my SRT-4 I would get challenged or reved at almost every other stop light LOL and I have yet to have that with this car and I am ejoying it. I like the idea of tinting the reflectors but I think that blacking out the badges will a bit over kill on a white car. We'll see what happens though. Thanks for the suggestions.(burnout)

Since you are going to possibly tint the reflectors, have you thought about how you were going to do so? I went to Walmart yesterday and bought some tint for this exact thing.

I used paper for a mold of the reflectors and then very carefully cut out the shapes with the tint. I just put them on yesterday afternoon so I am still trying to get used to it.

I may post a new thread about it depending on if I keep it. So far, I have received a couple of compliments on them and I think they look pretty good too. I know that some other people have actually spray painted theirs but I am REALLY worried about screwing that up and getting paint on the car so this is my first attempt.

Note: if you do the tint film like I did, make sure you flip over the mold so that you have a left and right side piece. I made that mistake on one of them (shrug)

Thats a pretty good idea. In the past I have used nightshades spray tint with great results and from what I have read RC car window tint works very well and is a removable solution. When we get a nice day around here I may try out the RC window tint method. The reflectors should be pretty easy to remove if you wanted to do the spray tint method. I used the spray tint on the amber side markers on the front bumper of my SRT-4 in the pics on page 1 if you wanted an example of how it turned out. That was the first mod I did on that car, I drove from the lot to my house and tinted the markes as the amber stuck out like a sore thumb on black.

 

[chacon101]

From what I understand, you can just pop out the side reflectors but as for the rear ones, you have to remove the bumper.

That was the deal breaking for me since I have nothing to jack the car up with.

welcome to the show...

 

[Silver Ecstasy]

Glad I finally got to see the crystal white MS3. I'm waiting till my dealer gets them in March to see them in person. It's either white or red for me!

 

[raspykart]

hum, I'd really like the white MS3 so as to match the wifey's white Mazda 5.... but why can't you order a white one on Mazdas website?? Only black, red, silver, blueish

 

[kneedragger241]

Nice!
I wanted a white one, but the red '07 I picked up was a steal and no waiting.
Still, I'm mildly jealous!

 

[nazgul350r]

I love the white, and hear you on the black.

Pearl white is a 2008.5 model option. I think they got released in Canada early.

What are you talking about.....ricey? Those are hot no matter what. At least they aren't your cheap $50 altezza crap on ebay. You really know how to pick your cars and keep them clean and far from rice. Very nice SRT man.

 

[Silver Ecstasy]

Those 2008.5 model year interiors look real nice!! Although, I thought the seats were supposed to be leather+alcantera, not just cloth? Maybe those pictures arn't the grand touring then.

Also..........is that MAZDASPEED emblem on the passenger side, a damn sticker??
