mazda3 iGT HB
I ordered my 2014 Mazda3 GT HB snowflake white April 3rd 2014, and received it June 11th. While waiting for my car to arrive the dealership let me drive any car I wanted. For the first 2 weeks I had a little Mazda3, and then (once they sold that), a Mazda CX5 (LOVED that car!). It was quite an adjustment for me to get back into a little Mazda3 after the CX5. I am sure in a couple of days I am used to driving a small car again and will absolutely LOVE it (I bought it mostly for the fuel economy as I drive 35,000+ miles a year).

I bought the car for $22,200 and added weathertech floormats and mudflaps to it. After taxes and all fees it was about $23,600 OTD. The weathertech floor mats are awesome. Absolutely love, love them. They are an incredible fit, and I love how in the rear they protect the bump too. Well worth the money.

The next step for me is to add some window tinting, and I would love some suggestions as to what kind to get and how dark. Pictures would be awesome!

I have white too and I see your'e in Utah, which the front can't be darker than 43% it says. You can have as dark as you want for the back tho.

Here's 45% all around.

It was too light so I had another layer put on, 50% so it's around 25% or something like that.

For CA, we can't do less than 70% (VLT) at the front. For the rear, there is no limited.
So, I have no extra tinting at the front (OE) + 30% for the rear 3 windows.
 
That looks great, lowincash. The dealership keeps telling me to do 50 in the front (which I agree with), and 5 in the back. To me that is WAY too dark.

Ceric, do you have a picture of your car?
