Hi everyone! I'mnew to this forum but I've been around some others for awhile. I've had my 2004 Mazda3 HB for a year now. What a fun car! Anyway, I thought I would just introduce myself quick. Here's a pic or two for everyone.

Nice, like the front bumper skirts... Been thinking of getting me a set of those RX8 wheels.

Thanks, those are the stocker wheels, lol. I use them for daily driving and I have a set of Konig's for when I auto-x or track the car.

I don't remember, or maybe I do. I had an 04 5 door as well. Until I traded it in for my beast...hehe

Lucky dog!

Would you like to hear sounds clips of my beast?

Just go to youtube.com, and query jubanqt as the user. Thats is me. I have a cp-e 3" turbo back exhaust, bov, and cold air intake.

Nice, did you put that stuff on yourself, or was it modded when you bought it?

nice looking i really do like that front lip more and more when i see it... i need to either by a beater for a winter car and then go mod crazy or just realize it will never happen... lol welcome to the forum!

Welcome!!

Nice!! And I agree. The lip makes the front end.

It looks like a little polishing is in order on the headlight lenses though. The clear coating appears to be coming off. Mine started doing that too. Try a little toothpaste, or get a plastic polishing kit... around $20 I believe.

krstofer, my 3 was bone stock when I bought it. I have done all the work myself. It has been especially rewarding considering how successful at auto-x I have been with this car!
tsunami and bbrich, I have gotten non-stop compliments on the lip and I never get tired of hearing them, lol. The lip didn't fit well when I first got it so I molded it into the bumper. I've had people ask me if its OEM, which was quite a compliment! Thanks! And yeah, the headlights look like crap. I need to polish them, I just didn't know that was possible until recently. Hopefully I can get her lookin' good by the end of summer (I cracked the lip and am repairing it now plus all the other little stuff).
