How do you keep your car that clean?

wash it every week! i think black looks so good when its clean but it never stays clean longer than a day or two!

i know ********** still has ultras in stock cause i just bought mine a couple weeks ago. i don't know that they're discontinued...

i like the hr's, i had eibach prokit on my last car and both are awesome springs. i like the lower stance of the hrs on the ms3 though. the ride is slightly more harsh than stock and a little bit bouncy over bumps but nothing more than you would get with a comparable drop on stock struts/shocks. the body roll is substantially reduced and like i said in another thread the car is overly eager to turn into corners at speeds you normally wouldn't feel comfortable taking at speeds.

I have them on my car too, I concur with the assesments you have made. It perfectly sums it all up!

i plan on it. how are you guys doing the side markers?

 

[ByrdMan23]

I used night shades...
the side ones are a pretty easy pop off and paint
My hands were to big for the back ones so i just taped it off..

If i was you man i would just get some dark tint and make cutouts..
you won;t go wrong either way though

How short is that short shifter bro, like how much shorter then stock? Any problems with hitting the gears?

great looking stance with wheels that match perfect

the side markers just pop out? no bolts or anything?

the shifter itself is reduced height of 1.75 inches and reduced throw of 30%, the knob is a little shorter than the stocker as well. i don't have any issues hitting the gears, in fact the 4-5 shift is 20 times easier with the sts installed. its definitely a good investment if you have some money to throw around, the aluminum shifter bushings make a night and day difference as well. twmperformance.com

Yea the side ones do.. if you search google like "mazda 3 reflector removal" something should pop up.. theres like a little thing you push on and then you pry from the outside too (hard to explain) but its not hard to do...
If I could do it all over again I would just tint them.. I still probably will because mien aren't as dark as id like

i think you're talking about the reflectors on the rear fender... i'm wondering about the actual white side turn signals just forward of the front doors... i read somewhere that you just push them towards the rear of the car and they will pop out. tint on them as well?
