Let's see some Mazda3 5-doors

[sunrun176]

Some new pics...yes I know they look odd. I took them in raw mode on the DSLR and messed with the exposure\vibrance\blacks..maybe some might like it.

Nice pics, esp. the second one! Count me in with the "some"..

Nice!!
Beautiful color too.
What wheels? ADR's?

yea bro it was the only one on the lot...it stands out a lot...but the wheels are IGN Racing wheels...i got them off a s2k for 300 for all 4

 

[tigermack]

whoa.. mack.. very nice! I think I like those better than your rpf1's!

(iagree)

Thanks, guys. I am on the same boat... but I still love my RPF1's. Especially when I put the 18" on.

Thanks sunrun...when I finally get her washed and actually have time to take a lunch break at work...Ill hit up the park and some other cool places for better non driveway photos.

I'm in the market for a 2nd hand 3 GT Sport right now but red wasn't on my short list of paint colors. These pics changed my mind though, your ride looks awesome! What size rims/tires are you running? They look so wide, are you having any issues with rubbing?

thanks bro!
17x8 +32 17x9 +28 yeah some rubbing but not too bad now that i'm rolled.
going moar low in a couple weeks, KW V2

I haven't seen too many (any??) copper red cars with bronze wheels so I thought I'd give it a try.

Fresh duplicolor bronze on my ms3 wheels. I also got some new Hankook Ventus V12's in 225/40/18 installed not too long ago.

s*** is nice bro...all you need is the drop...once i dropped mine this past weekend every1's been breakin' necks...lol...but its good to see another copper red 3...not too many out there...what mods have you done to the car?

 

[Chefsp0t]

Thanks man. I do love the color. I think I am getting a pro kit soon. I thought about going lower (roadmagnet 1.75") but I live on a dirt road and it is my DD. My other car is getting slammed so one out of two isn't bad. I also want to use stock struts for as long as possible.

So far I have mostly cosmetic mods since it is still under factory warranty. I have eyelids, 4500k hid, lamin-x on the fog lights, lamin-x on the third brake light and rear reflectors, led conversion for all the bulbs except the gauges, jdm window visors, rallyarmor mudflaps, painted ms3 wheels, a mazdaspeed accessory short throw shifter, and a trz dogbone rear motor mount.

Next up is twm shifter bushings, lowering springs, an autoexe replica spoiler from ebay, an 09 oem front lip

looks good chefsp0t! definitely moar low when you can and it will really set it off.

 

[boosthead]

Thanks man. I like yours too. I want to lower it badly. I'm probably going to go with a pro kit since it is not too low for a dd and will also give me a better stance. My second option was roadmegnet 1.75" springs and I am still not 100 percent sure which ones I want.

Man I've got serious 3 envy! You guys' 3s are looking sweet. I've wanted one since I firs saw the concept version back in 2003. My wife didn't like it so we ended up with an Audi A4 1.8T. Can't wait til my dealer finds me a good 2nd hand one.

Hope you guys don't mind but here are some old pics from when the 3 first was announced. I saved these pics way back then, waiting for the day I'd get one. 6-7 yrs later and it looks like it'll finally happen! LOL. I'd give credit to the owners of the pics but I can't remember who they are!
