Umm why???

 

[FrankenMazda3]

Well It's my car and I believe since I paid for it I have the right to do what I want with my car. If you don't like so what It doesn't effect me and what my plans are for my car.

 

[Alcohol1511]

I think it will look good. Green and black go good together

 

[FrankenMazda3]

I agree plus there are 3 or 4 other 2010 Mazda 3 and I want a unique one. Plus it will look very awesome when it is all done. I have to thank my girlfriend for giving me the idea.

 

[P5_Boricua]

sounds nice bro, keep us updated

 

[Alcohol1511]

There is nothing wrong with going unique

 

[FrankenMazda3]

This is what started the whole project idea that and my girlfriend saying I should do something awesome with my car.

haha, thats awesome bro, like you said man its your car, on this forum Ive learned that although some people give great insight and knowledge ultimately its YOUR car so have fun and make the car into something that YOUR happy with

 

[FrankenMazda3]

Well tomorrow my gf is gonna help me out painting my two Mazda logos and the word mazda and the 3. They will be green and pics will be taken. Also gonna mod the rear mazda logo as well. Wish me luck hope I don't mess anything up.

Maybe down the line you would be interested in some Takata'ish green wheels?

Let me know

 

[FrankenMazda3]

AW very nice but idk if I will do that. I wanna do 17x7.5 black wheel cuz the Calipers will be green once I get the caliper paint.

 

[P5_Boricua]

u could allways do black calipers haha, those rimms look pretty good man

 

[FrankenMazda3]

Well black calipers just look like dirty calipers to me. I'm not bashing on anyone who has done that it just doesn't fit me. Once April comes I'm gonna to 20% tint on my car cuz it gets hot during the summer and having a black car never helps.

Word, well they are 17x7 Racing Hart MSP wheels with Brand New Sumitomo tires. They have sat in my air conditioned living room since the 500 miles I put on em. but I do think that it would look ridiculous with green wheels and green calipers. But I will have them for a while so if you decide to go a different route let me know. Okay, no more thread jacking. Sorry bro. Good luck with your project. (rockon)

 

[FrankenMazda3]

Dude it's cool I don't mind sharing. But Yeah all I need to do now is get the logos off and get double sided tape, and green paint. I already have everything else. So I'm excited any words of advice for the best way of taking off the two Mazda logos? I already know how to take off the front grill to get to the front. The back I believe in clip and tape, The 3 and the Mazda is tape. So just use either a heat gun on a low setting or a hair dryer to heat it up and use fishing line to get the taped logos off. Anything else I am missing?

But how do you like your Speed 3?? I am very envious because I have grown to love the speed 3

 

[skatethesea]

I like it a lot for a daily. I really miss my Supercharged S2000. Right now the big debate is either throw another $4000 in parts into the Speed or get a toy S2000 and build it up again. But I hate knowing there are SRT4s and mustangs out there that can beat me. I know I can out turn any of them. But I dont get many turns on my way to work But the cargo room is awesome! And with the TWM replacement shifter the only draw back has been resolved. Oh and the Enkei EDR9s I have on my Speed now are only $118 a piece or something on tirerack. Just in case you like those. And they are made in 17x7.5 I am pretty sure.

 

[FrankenMazda3]

Really a mustang has beaten you??? I have beaten mustangs in mine, must be something wrong there. I tapped my car out at 150mph and it's crazy it feels like my car is flying and not even on the road anymore. But my RPMs are reaching 6 to 7k at that point too which is not good for long periods of time. Back to the point lol thank for the info about the Enkei EDR9s much appreciated.

 

[skatethesea]

No, havent been beaten yet, but if a Cobra lined up with me, I would like to have the 350whp and 380wtq I am looking to make eventually. In my S2000 I was taking out corvettes and most everything on the road. So it just hurts to go to a "slower" car. Though it is faster than stock SRT4s, Cobalt SS, WRX, Mustangs, and many more.
