Ok, that looks amazing. Really does give it that tinted effect. I've got to attempt this.

Are you planning on doing anything with the tail lights?

very nice man !!nice work,will wait to see how they look on the car

are you gonna do the rear ones also???

The rears are plastic welded together, you cant open them with heat. You would need to dremel them apart and im ALL SET with that. It would be a disaster. LoL

(yawn)

I read that. (unamused) I was asking if he was going to do 'anything' with the tails. Not necessarily the same thing he did with the headlights.

I am debating on the LED's if they come out soon. If not, I will smoke them slightly, not dark... just enough to shake off that "altezza" look they have now (shrug)

 

[coolmazda5]

looks more aggressive, definitely cool stuff

 

[Newf]

cool, now lets see a nice pic of the car from a distance, get a idea of what the entire thing looks like now with the changes. Perhaps a before/after shot.

DarkSpeed3 - Looks AWESOME man

Vater - Dude, if you do that let me know so I can see your car in person =)

 

[Vater]

Definitely. I just need to find a weekend with decent weather (no garage). And of course clear it with the wife, since I'd be occupied the entire time.

Yeah, I'm really not crazy about how much the tails stand out, especially against the black. I loved the darker tails on the previous gen:

I hope Mazda or a reputable third party comes out with a similar replacement for the 2010s. Preferrably with LEDs.

 

[xDJ DUBx]

The '10 MS3s don't have led tails stock??

 

[nadim]

no they dont,i donnu why they didnt add the led tails to the ms3 it would have been much nicer with them

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Don't the previous MS3s have leds? That doesn't make sense

 

[coolmazda5]

For some weird reason it seems that Mazda just made the Sport trim this year in the US, so no goodies like the HIDs nor the LED tails, which come in the 09 MS3 Grand Touring (yupnope). I'm sure that will change next year.

BTW the 2010 Mazda3 s HB (Grand Touring) in the US and the 2010 MS3 in Canada already have both goodies so it should not be a big thing to put them in production (dunno)

 

[nadim]

thats the problem cause they have the option on th hb mazda3 so why not put those option on the ms3 too, as for on those things of light are the same...
