Nope it was like the threads were stuck or something. I mean it wouldn't budge. It was stuck enough to come apart when I pulled on it. The last time it happened I could wiggle it and it would pop out but not this time. I'm glad it happened to me and not the wife. She would have been stuck...

So I go to fuel up and the fuel cap won't come off. It'll unscrew but it won't come out of the fuel tank. I screw it back on and try again...nope it won't come off at all. Of course I have to do it multiple times to make sure it's not operator error. I happen to have a set of channel locks with...

Our 08 is included in the recall also. Just waiting for the dealer to get back to us.

We had a pretty good storm come in Monday the 22nd and dumped about 6" of snow at our home. The seattle area was a total charlie foxtrot with cars all over the place. The wife said the 3 with these tires worked like all wheel drive. They were amazing and pulled through the snow with no issues...

I also did lot of research before I purchased. It's taken some time to get used to them after the original tires. They seem real "sticky" and in the rain, I've never had tires that handle as these do. It's like driving a slot car. I am impressed.

Just had a set of Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires mounted on the 3 and just driving home all I can say is wow. What a difference from the stock rags that were on the car. They are well worth the $$

Perfect. That's what I was wanting to know. Thanks for the help and chefspot, we have the same color 3 so now I can show the wife what it'll look like when I'm done.

Yeah, that's what I'm after. That does look pretty trick in blue. Did you have to fab a spot for them or was there a spot you could directly mount them to? I'm just trying figure out what I'll need to do before I get it all apart. My only concern is if the wife pops out and sees the bumper...

I'll take another look at. Hearing that it's not a big deal makes it a little easier to tackle.

I'm wanting to upgrade the horns to the Hella supertones and want to put them in the bottom grill. I've seen pics of it and was wondering how much of a hassle it was to do. Can it be done without pulling the bumper or does it have to come off? I do like the way they look peeking out of the...

That's interesting...I just saw some yesterday on a Chrysler 300. It looked different. I didn't know they were out there.

Not more than twenty minutes. I was amazed how easy it was to do. Here's how it turned out. Sorry for the background, I just took the pics at work...It is a little pricy but well worth the $$ when you see how it's built. I haven't yet plugged the holes that the old plate frame was mounted with...

I broke down and picked up a CPE towplate. Talk about stout. It would make a great push bar. and it's turning some heads when we go by another 3...

Thanks for the info

I'm getting ready to get some tint and the more I look at it the more questions I have. I'm looking at 3M for the film (no metal?) but I'm not sure of a shade (color?), I think 35% is all I can do in Washington but... What looks the best on a hatch? I'd like some input from those who have done...

Wheel size won't have as much effect on ride unless you change the tire size aspect as well. To get a softer ride you'll need to go to a 60 or 70 series tire instead of a 45 or 50 series. More side wall will give a softer ride as there is more to the tire to absorb road shock. A 45 series x 16...

That's what I want to do. How did you do it? Was it a pain to do? How'd you plug the bumper holes? I was going to Mazda to buy a tow hook and fab some angle to. What did you use...?

I'm sure you could put a heat gun to them to soften the adhesive then pull gently. As with anything just don't over do it...

Hey did it come stock with the dual exhaust?

Thanks for the info. That's quite a jump from 1st to 2nd. Guess I don't drive it enough to get used to it. It's the wife's car and I only get to drive it on the weekends.
