I feel like the 2012 3s is missing a section. is there not enough ppl that own the 2012 or is it not able to be modded?

i just bought my 3 and im trying to find posts and pics of the new 2012s to get ideas since almost everything is about the 2010 mazda 3. is there something wrong with the 2012 3 or what.

lets make this happen...some how
 
You're in the right section. The current Mazda3 generation started with MY 2010 so this forum section is for all 2010+ Mazda3s.
 
yea but i havent seen anything about them its mostly about the 2010s. have u seen anything about the 2012s that could help me out
 
What kind of information are you looking for? There haven't been any major changes from 2010 - 2012. In other words most, if not all, the modifications that work on a 2010 will work on a 2012.

What mods are you interested in?

BTW welcome to Mazdas247 (2thumbs)
 
im new to the mods. ive seen hids and taking the inside dash paneling off to paint those silver parts and some other stuff that looks cool. i just need some ideas or someone with experience to say whats worth doing and what isnt
 
Well, are you going for performance? handling? interior/exterior look? audio?
What do you want out of your car?
Take out dash pieces is still the same as with the 2010.
And the addition of HIDs would still be the same process as it is with other cars.
 
im not to sure about the performance yet because i dont know what i can and cant do so that i wont void my warranty. so for right now im just looking for appearance
 
I completely understand you. I just got my '12 mazda 3 as well. I started with just the outside so my warranty doesn't become voided. I got a clear bra. some tint. Im using CorkSport as my main aftermarket supplier. I just got their license plate relocation kit. LED interior kit. They also have the rear bumper LED that can be hooked to your turn signals (i think its really cool). I have DDM HID ordered. seems like everyone recc DDM tuning. They are really cheap, $40 a kit (x2 low beam and fogs) Let me kno if you need the sizing on your bulbs. Overlays for your lights. Footwell lighting, the OEM ones are $130ish online, not sure if you seen them, they match the blue in your car and turns on with your drl or night time lights. I also got 2x 12" kickers, one dealer said they wont void my warranty. Also the same one said they dont mind me tuning as long as i dont mess with the emissions and tranny. I had to look around, lucky i live in Houston Tx so we have several to spare =) Thats bout it that i can think about. Also accordin to CS, no warranty is voided till Mazda can blame on the aftermarket part that caused the failure. Your aftermarket intake wont be the reason your rear window all of a sudden crapped out. Since i found that info out and a dealer whos cool, i started over looking the warranty deal. Also i keep the OEM parts so if i need to change before goin to dealer i can. Sorry for long post. just had a lot to say, hope this helps in any way. let us kno what you do first!
 
2012 here, too. Especially considering the SKYACTIV 3 that just came out for this year, I expected not to see too many posts about it. All I'm really looking to do is basic stuff I know how to do anyway with my past experiences with a Mazda 6 and a Mazdaspeed 3. I know for a fact I hate the OEM tires (I can live with the wheels for a while) so those will be upgraded to a more aggressive set when replacement time comes. Other than that, a decent window tint (I also want to tint the taillights to flow with the graphite mica color more) and a Corksport SRI are all I need to be happy... for now.
 
I have a 2012 if it makes you feel better !! : )

NO major changes, just increased efficiency by 10mpg across the board. NO BIG DEAL, mod's just jelly he ain't got such a sweet engine.

Perhaps there should be a Skyactiv section since we don't want to part the '3 sections.
