Wife's new baby

[Reitrof]

Reviving an oldie but a goodie to update with the latest 'mod'. Installed a V-LED light kit in the trunk. It was very easy and the difference in light output is amazing. Other than that, we've been driving her and just passed 9K, a week after our 1yr Anniversary.

Nice Jeff, any issues with the 3?

Thanks Bruce and none to speak of. So far she's been solid and does what is asked. I am overdo for the 7500K checkup at the dealer but according to the OM, all they do is change the oil but I do that so.....

Yea... oil and tire rotation.

 

[CTt3P5]

Exactly why I didn't take it in. I'll be changing the oil soon (was doing every 3k but I'm going to switch to every 5k as per the OM) and the winter shoes will be coming off soon so no need to get them rotated.

We're at 6700 on the ODO

i remember getting a card in the mail from the dealer "time for your 35k check up" i called the dealer and asked the service manager if this was necessary...his reply" you having any issues with the car" me "nope" him "save your money, skip it".....if you maintain the car properly and do some of the work yourself you can save a bundle on these "check up" visits

Reviving this one, told ya it was a boring one. lol Updated the first post with some pics of the newly installed CS LED rear bumper lights. Their LED 3rd brake light and LED light kit should be arriving Monday.

hey neighbor.... i'm in the valley too.. need a hand wrenching let me know. Could use a bit of info on the oem vent visors. Want a set for my 3.

Hello, hello. Wonder if I've passed you on the road....whereabouts in the Valley are you? I'm in the Easton area. Thanks and the same to you should you ever need an extra set of hands.

Bought the OEM visors from Mazda of Toronto (416)642-1333. Dealt with Joe in parts and he was great to work with. They are a bit pricey (I paid ~$150 shipped but probably more than that now with the exchange rate) but IMO well worth it.

5mins from LVIA. Northampton. Moved here from palmer a few years back. Thanks for the info on the visors

Ah, Halloween town, lol, we almost bought house in Lehigh Township several years ago but it needed too much work. Always glad to help and hope I am wrong about the price.

First post updated with pics....installed the CS LED 3rd brake light and LED light kit today.

Ah, Halloween town, lol,

Hit the nail on the head. They are suv'ed in!! First year here we handed out over 500pieces of candy in two hrs.
Anyway yea I'll stop mucking up your build thread.

 

[CTt3P5]

Thanks Santos!

No worries on the mucking up...it's a rather bland build thread. haha After I showed the wife last night, she commented that she liked it but had to throw in the 'now leave my car alone' comment. Damn, that's a lot of candy. I have to laugh everytime I drive thru and see the orange/black street signs. To be honest, I'm surprised Easton hasn't done red/black street signs.
