sweet thread!

btw, is there a how-to on the TRS lens?

Yes, it's on the Mazda3 forums site. PM me and I can send you the direct link.

Went out tonight and took some more pics of the HID output with the TRS Lenses.

But first, here some other pics of the old output:

And the ones from tonight:

I like what you've done with the car! Very nice. But I think you should paint the fuel door cosmic blue.

One of my favorite looking Cosmic Blues for sure.

I still have the stock one so I'll probably just go back to it in the near future. Thanks for the kudos

where did you get those rear reflectors that light up with the headlights? i like the smoked look during the day with the red at night.

Got them from here. The GB code - Mazda3ForimSmBump - still works making it $65 shipped. You have to take off the rear bumper to install them though. Took maybe an hour. I have actually unwired them so they don't light up red at night now. It was a bit overkill IMO. They just reflect white now at night.

thanks alot buddy! been wanting them for a while!

Went out and snapped some pics this evening:

Interesting background hehe... never seen a goodwill like that before.

 

[Hank3]

Yeah, it's a new - actually not opened yet. I had to find some place quick before it got too dark. It's only a few mins. away from the house

 

[dronizm5]

[blh_wakeboard]

I want to know as well, they look hella good as well does the rest of your ride man, good job so far!

 

[Hank3]

The Retrofit Source sells the lenses.

Some recent additions:

Painted the emblems black; powder coated the rims and stock shifter weight; got new tires mounted (Hankook Ventus V12 evo in 235/40/18); Progress RSB installed:

your speed looks amazing - extremely well-done!

How far did you sand them emblems? Did you take all the chrome off and the layer after that? I just painted mine, but may purchase the front because a lot of rock chips have been really chipping some paint off.. =( . I should have sanded mine much more.

 

[Hank3]

There were parts of the emblem where the chrome was sanded off but not much. I sanded them down until they were pretty rough (used 320 grit). Put three coats of primer and then three coats of paint. I tried clearcoat, but the end result was too shiny so I stripped everything off and restarted the process.

Where did you get the armrest and e-brake set up ?
Those are bad ass.
