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.

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.

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

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).
