Very nice looking car. Seriously maybe my favorite mz3 I have seen in a while. Pic #2 almost looks like a 4 door rx-8. More pics please! How about some under the hood shots

 

[jhowey]

Welcome, nice looking 3

That's exactly what I was thinking. Nice looking ride! Do the SuperWhite LEDs make a big difference?

 

[Revenant]

I've got more pics at home, so I'll post those up later.

I love the superwhites inside. They're not as harsh on the eyes as a standard halogen bulb, and they give out a brighter, more even light.

In the reverse lights, they don't make much of a difference. I can't see any better with the LED than I could the halogens, but, I can't see any worse either. So I came out even. But its just fun for people to freak out and tell me about my "reverse HIDs". Haha

The reverse lights are not nearly as blue as they look in the picture. They're the same pure white as the interiors.

 

[Sorax]

Thanks for the info and pics. That might be my next mod.

Here are some under hood shots of her car.

 

[Revenant]

Thanks Bill. I wondered who had those shots.

I still need to finish clear coating my engine covers. Well, fix the scratches, then clear coat it.

Brad's pictures are awesome! Im really thinking about ponying up the money and doing a full photoshoot with him.

i miss my car!!!!! waaaaahhhh! i haven't seen it since sept 21! its being shipped from dallas, tx to here! i found out that its here and now i just have to wait on the govt to get my paperwork back to me so i can start the registration

It might be that she was working for Mazda at the time and got an offer too good to turn down.

 

[flipstylex]

nice ! wondering , is i me or the chrome lip on your rims make's the rim looks smaller ???

 

[Revenant]

Redneck hit the nail on the head. I was working at a dealership at the time. I bought the 3s Sport for $15k. I had to have my payments at a certain amount, because I had too many other bills to afford a higher payment, so I couldn't get a speed. Plus, we didnt have any in that I liked/wanted.

 

[brokenman]

I hate it. In two years we'll have to do another Flats run and get better pics of our cars together.

I need to start swapping some bulbs out too.

 

[Revenant]

Yea yea yea. And yes we do. I just hope you don't trade the 3 in for something new by then. You have a tendancy to do that, ya know?

And yes you do.
