Buying parts

[cookiemun5ter]

Hi, so in a month I am probably going to get a mazdaspeed3 gt black and I really want to put mods on it and also change the exterior I want to make it all black with black rims and so on and I do not want the void the warranty so what should I get? CPE CAI? and for the exterior is it illegal to black out your lights? sorry I'm very dedicated to trick out my soon to be car and I have a lot of questions

moved to appearance as that seems to be what most of your questions are about... do a search look at other peoples pictures/testamonials and make your decisions as to what you think will suit you best...

To black out headlights, it matters what state you are in. Most states it is illegal.

you might be able to disasemble head and tail lights and then use a black candy spray paint to cut down the crome look. just a thought

Use VHT nightshades for the lights. I have it on my truck, but it is illegal. I have two sets, one with and without the paint. It was extremely easy to paint. I did two coats. It is somewhat dark, but if you mess up, just use some paint thinner and start over again. This is not a Mazda, but gives you and idea.

Umm, it's your car so do what you like to it. Who cares what everyone else thinks.
