i did the same. I think they don't stand out too much since the car is black. I think i might move these to the back--they don't have enough width to cover the car well unless it is going straight. Then I'll get some that are a bit wider. I had to trim off the bottom to keep them from rubbing...

Well I should have gotten a Cobalt.....or not Many small cars fail crash test Side-impact results not `acceptable' in 11 out of 13 vehicles By Rick Popely Tribune staff reporter Published March 7, 2005 Eleven of 13 small cars, including six with side air bags, fared poorly in side-impact...

I like it! Instead of standing out, it looks more like....like....rubber or something?(hard to explain) I might have to repaint mine this spring. Now how do we do the back? Does the emblem pop off, or is there a nut or fixture on the inside of the door?

Hidden Hitch #60999 i think. The rack is by BVG Bauer Racks --i didn't care much for the Yakima or Thule models, as they didn't seem to integrate the ski rack with the system as well.

I decided to go with a hitch mount option. After 3 months of use, I think it was the right way to go. It comes with a ski attachment that drops into the bike rack. It takes about a minute to put on and take off, so I can remove it during the week. It doesn't rob me of gas mileage. It doesn't...

Well i went to take a look at the chips and there are no more than on the stinkin' hood....Gotta get that clear bra. I think with the emblem black it makes even more people wonder what kind of car it is. I saw a post of the painted emblem on other color cars, but it stuck out like a sore thumb...

All I was thinking about is what you can't see. I'm not a big fan of ads, bumper stickers, or other stuff on cars. Stealth is health is wealth.

I have been keeping my eyes open for this. A lot of posters want to build for street, but I want to take it in another direction. Anyone have other sources of information about 3 rally cars? Mazda3 rally article

It was really easy...I just popped off the emblem with a screwdriver, sanded it lightly, and used a couple coats of elcheapo automotive spray paint to paint it. In retrospect I would have used a flat black, but the gloss is closer to the grill color and I got used to it in a day or so. I am...

Does all aftermarket tinting make conditions worse for fogging? That would be a concern for me. Also, what about the defroster wires? Do they have a negative effect on the tint? Thanks

The total was about $800 installed with the works. I'm sure I could have gotten them cheaper if i put more effort into it but this place is right by my house, they even drove my summer tires over to my place. It's never perfect though, since i went back after 100 miles to have them check the...

Has this article already been posted? I learned a lot more about the 3's design from it. http://www.autointell.com/asian_companies/mazda/mazda-3-2004/mazda-3-2004.htm

I think that the AC comes on automatically when the defrost is on, as well as only allowing outside air instead of recirc. Lots of people I know leave their ski gear in the trunk all wet and that totally humidifies the interior. These are the folks you see scraping the inside of the windows. I...

It actually is a hidden hitch, i think the model is #60999? If you pull the rack off it is just the 1.25" square that is flush with the bumper. Lava Orange has a similar setup http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/513436/3 and lots of pictures to prove it. The only difference with mine is that...
