[Oscar M.]

Hey guys just introducing myself , name is Oscar I am from sunny Socal. Have an 07 speed3 for about 8 months. Ive looked around at a few of the forums and this one seems to have the most members so I figured I jump on the bandwagon.


I have a few bolt ons Cobb SRI, TRZ rmm , race pipe (CS i think but no one has been able to tell me for sure).

Anyways hope to learn from you guys, I want to start with the cosmetics of the car right now and make it stand out!!!

welcome! got any pics of your new whip yet?

 

[Oscar M.]

I have random shots that we took of the car, I didn't post them because I joined another forum last week and when they saw my car was basically stock they started being douchebags so I looked around for other forums.

Since you asked here she is....

she looks pretty stock, so I want to start out with moldings and then badging, just not sure if I want to go black or blue. Thinking about radically changing the look of her just to see if I can pull it off.

I know, not much to look at right now..... :-(

well, if you want a "hey look at me" car you picked the wrong color.
you want a black or white one for that, ( ok, mebbe red)
blue and silver are your sleeper platforms. In a silver speed you could post a buck and a quarter on a cop radar, in town, and if you pulled up at the next light next to a civic with a wing,.... your gettin a pass

No love for Cosmic...

 

[Kain]

True Red too fast for you guys?

 

[Domino81]

Too ******* red for me. I'll never own another red car. Would prefer not spending every waking ******* moment of my day worrying it being parked outside and how fast the color is fading.

I dunno, I love Deepa Patel, and she has a blue one

Well the car is actually slower cuz mazda has an energy chip embedded in the paint to make it so painfully ....... RED
but the cops think is fast

Black badges would look best IMO. I presume that you are removing the molding? Are you planning any performance upgrades?

I worry a lot

I was thinking the same thing? The guys that started that forum got banned from here because they were/are douchbags.

Welcome aboard, Oscar!!

Of your two choices, I would go with the blue. Silver/blue sounds good to me. Besides, many others have done black. Blue would be a little more exclusive. But be aware that your front badge is especially susceptible to stone chips and fading. I used to do my badges in metal cast (tinted/clear) red and really liked the look, but I gave up. Having to redo them 2-3 times a yr got old.

And yes, please do a molding delete. where its mounted, its useless anyway. Notice the 2nd gens don't even come with side molding installed.
