^+1 Yep, probably in the wrong part of the larger forum. We have the turbocharged Mazdaspeed 3 and 6 here, which are a good bit different than the normally aspirated car. Easy mistake to make. Try backing out one screen and looking for the "regular" Mazda 3 section. Welcome to the community. I think you will find lots of ways to enhance the appearance of your car. We probably can't help you much on increasing power because our engines are too different and respond to mods in a completely different way.

Sadly he's pretty much right...If you are looking for a significant increase in performance displacement increase is the way to go (whether it is figurative in the manner of a turbo or literal as a larger engine). You can gain smaller increases which you may or may not feel in your seat, but there's not a ton that can be done unless you spend big bucks on an NA motor. The trade-off in my mind is suspension and brakes. If you can't get to top speed faster than the other guy be able to carry your speed and stop later. And it's fun to take corners 40% faster than before!
