Wow.....what a beautiful shot. Moldings and all! See they arn't that bad!

I'm stealing that as my wallpaper.

thats why i asked for hi res, needed a new background at work (headbang)

[shaneS]

I put that as the backround of my phone :)

[Moultese]

The tint is 20%. Thanks for the comments all.

i actually like your car better lidless...you going that route? or repainting them?

+1 on the better look w/o eyelids.

not sure im sold on the leds yet though. The rest of the car looks incredible. Lara, everytime i see a pic of your car it has something new on it. Keep up the good work.

[cosic]

Can't stand that lip painted, or any of them for that matter..

[LaraS]

Any type of lip unpainted looks ridiculous, IMO... unless of course it is CF.

[Moultese]

Yeah, I don't understand why you wouldn't paint a lip.

[Silver Ecstasy]

I personally don't think it's worth the risk installing a lip on a daily-driven lowered MS3. That lip is just barely off the ground.

Ugh, I hate my car without eyelids. It looks so wide-eyed. I'm testing out a set for a new sponsor.. so those should be coming within the next week or so.


I personally don't think it's worth the risk installing a lip on a daily-driven lowered MS3. That lip is just barely off the ground.

Actually, with all the bad roads I drive I haven't had any issues. Just have to be careful. The car looks too boring (IMO) without it.

[RADAR THIS]

i like with no lids cuz the body line is perfect now. with lids they bubble/pop up, like a boxers eye(s)...

[LaraS]

I disagree.. but to each their own. :)

[Wastegate13]

I disagree.. but to each their own. :)

I like the way lids make the headlights look but I don't like how they add bulk to the top of the headlight and actually bulge more than the hood does. If someone could make an extremely low profile version they would be great.

[shelmeister]

Unpainted lip = bad
Eyelids = good

Of course that's just my opinion! Everyone likes something different, that's why everyone's cars look different. It's a good thing :)

[RADAR THIS]

exactly +1

[Silver Ecstasy]

Actually, pdggp or someone with a screen name along those lines has a white CWP and I LOVE the eyelids on his car.

Lara, I'd say add the eyelids but remove the wing extension.

[Anna-chan]

i like the wing extension!

[CWPspeed3]

i like the wing extension!

me too, even non painted, it adds some contrast.

why not use vinyl ones fabricated. i saw a p5 that has em on, i forgot who though.

edit: fishdonotbounce has em on, i believe

[Silver Ecstasy]

I don't like how the wing extension goes further up. If anything, i'd imagine they'd wanna extend the length of the wing horizontally, not vertically.

[Saskatchewan17]

How much do new light covers cost? Would it be worth it to get Mazda paint and paint them? Then seal 'em up. I want to black out the chrome ring things anyways.

Yeah, I don't understand why you wouldn't paint a lip.

You're right. Painting lips is very necessary, but yours is small enough and under the bumper where it looks almost like a splitter where it would look better to ME unpainted..

[LaraS]

I disagree.. I had held it up to the car before painting and it looked (IMO) ridiculous and unfinished. -shrug-

oh gawd! (lick) looks hot as hell man, nice work. and i like the mirrors as well now, they've grown on me

[Design]

215's? thats awfully skinny, how do they feel?

That's an 8.5" wide tire. Probably handles similar to stock wheels, sans a bit of weight.

[Kindred]

Love the green mirrors and green lip on the wheels. I've thought about doing the same but in red on my CWP MS3. Have any more shots of the car?

[chippen]

Thanks everyone!

The green mirrors has the same glitter effect in the paint like the CWP, new pics coming soon.


Do anyone nows the OEM number of the US spec rear wing? the wing we have is to week and dont get mutch attention :(

and the wheel specs are

F: 17x8 28 offset
R: 17x8 35 offset

dropped on BC coilovers. lol like alll the way down everywhere. took out a perch in the rear. im about to do a little more to it if i can work out a few kinks. so itll be lower.

and as for the tint, i really couldnt tell you because i dont know lol. it came with it so what ever stock tint is?


thanks for the compliments guys!!!

that is the 35 offset in the rear.

the front fenders can handle a little bit more so i put the 28 offset up there. right now the front is like the tiniest bit less poked/flush than the rear due to negative camber. like -2.3 to be exact. but once i correct the camber, ill post up some pics. but it SHOULD be just as flush as the rear.

[CnoTataymo]

I'm running about the same rear camber as you. What size tires are you running on the 17x8's?

[Silver Ecstasy]

i think cwp has the most ballin wheels out of all the colors XD i may be baised

Agreed - I love all the CWP with wheels!

Especially your wheels god damnit...

[sumthaiguy]

well my rear camber is like 0. my fronts are the ones with the -2.3 .

and im running a 205/40/17 falken ziex 512

Ironically, it's the fronts that don't change that much when lowered. Are you running a rear camber kit? If not, you're definitely pushing an aggressive angle.

[sumthaiguy]

no im not running a rear camber kit. i was going to buy one if needed but when i went to go get my alignment, they said that even though i lowered it, they didnt even touch the rear because it was still within spec. but i should be going in for another alignment soon so we'll see. but it really does look like i have a lot of neg camber.

yea tru but id delete the wing, so alot of that imge would b gone,, their just so reliable, they can handle anything... a freind of mine had an 05 he beat the shit out of it almost everyday for a year and the only thing that went was the clutch cause he would launch it at ever stop sign/ red light for like a month straight..it dont get much more reliable than that

[Wastegate13]

Wonder if it will be a mid year addition like it was last time around, maybe 2011.5

2010 speed3 in white is the sex. im not sure about any other color though. Ive seen it in white and black in person, and idk sumthing about the white makes it look sick.

they make them in white in canada and seeing how they already did it with the 1st gens, i'd bet money that they'll change the lineup of colors offered in the US in a year or two.

Oh Dear

[MaikuMS3]

lol. i just realized thats already included with the car. hah

[dizwhoadayjohn]

lol thanks guys. yeah it's lowered on eibach sportlines. i love the perfect drop on it, the tires sitting next to the fenders. the wheels were powder coated gloss black and had a friend from a cadillac dealership wax the whole car even the wheels! the front bumper isn't painted but is vinyl wrapped. the guy i went to did a perfect job on it. adds a mean look plus protects that part of the bumper now. since that picture i've added a front lip, painted my roof gloss black, add on spoiler on the spoiler, and working on customizing a rear lip for it. i'm in no rush to throw a rod in this car so i've been working on appearance mods and such

when all is done with those current mods and on a nice day i'll post another picture of its current state

also i honestly believe me removing those orange reflectors inside the headlights is what really set off the rest of my theme of black and white. maybe some of ya didn't notice it's gone =)

[CWPspeed3]

Nice, i bet gloss black really helps with brake dust, i just put my stock rims back on for winter and remember what a pain they are to keep clean.

How hard was it to remove the orange reflectors in the headlights? that does look really sharp.

[Hank3]

Not hard to remove the orange reflectors once you have the headlights baked open. IIRC, it leaves a couple of holes and indentations because of where they snap in. From afar, it definitely looks sweet.

[LaraS]

^ if you spray that one little section black, you won't ever notice any of the holes/indentations, even up close.

[xDJ DUBx]

^post some pics of your car, looks hot

[dizwhoadayjohn]

yeah once i baked them and pried the headlights apart it was just a matter of don't touch any chrome cause i didn't want to leave prints. i popped off the reflectors from within so you see absolutely no holes or anything. what i wish i did that i didn't do is change out the projector lens to the bmw style ones which makes the lighting way more chrisp and clear

nice to see you on this forum too lara lol

you could have just used nightshade to tint the reflectors really dark and left them in there and that way u wouldnt have holes either, but otherwise your car looks very very very nice (nana)

[LaraS]

Hahaha, the car hasn't been washed in about 3 weeks... hence no tire shine. I don't really like using it either, it tends to sling onto the side of the car, no matter what brand you use.

[knokout5]

hey Lara,

where did you get those eyelids?? I dont like the ones I see on everyone elses, but yours are different. custom?

[xDJ DUBx]

Hahaha, the car hasn't been washed in about 3 weeks... hence no tire shine. I don't really like using it either, it tends to sling onto the side of the car, no matter what brand you use.

Hahaha, the car hasn't been washed in about 3 weeks... hence no tire shine. I don't really like using it either, it tends to sling onto the side of the car, no matter what brand you use.

not true at all.

If you use a silicone based tire shine, yes, it will sling all over the side of your car, no matter how long it's been sitting on your tires.

Get a water based tire shine and it doesn't. I use Meguiar's Hyper Dressing diluted 3:1 and it looks good, wet but not too wet and it doesn't sling.

[LaraS]

hey Lara,

They are a new release from ECSpeedSound, a vendor on M3F. They actually are not on my car right now though. :)

i actually like the look..I looked them up on M3F. Are they in production yet, or is it still jus in testing? I wanna get my hands on one.

[LaraS]

I would send him a PM, I'm sure he'd send you a set if you were persistent. :) If not, I can just send you mine... I'm not using them.

[knokout5]

I read that you had to paint them though, right? I would preferably have them prepainted. And did you just use tape to attach them? I will try to get in touch with him..If not, I will gladly take yours if you dont want them =) Thanks!

[knokout5]

oh lara, do you know whats up with the little piece on the end of the eyelid that protrudes out a little bit? I'm looking at them on the "product testers needed" thread on m3f. Just wondering why the line isnt a smooth curve.

[LaraS]

Yeah, fitment isn't great and the adhesive (these are a vinyl material with adhesive backing [not removable]) isn't that sticky. I could not get them to stay adhered to the headlamp.

Send him a PM, he may have worked out the bugs by now.

[dizwhoadayjohn]

well what i do is spray them on, but not right away. only when i know the car will sit for hours. then when i get back to the car i got a rag and softly wipe some of it off so it doesn't splatter all over the car. doing this really lesson the amount on the car greatly. but i'm a guy who likes to works on cars and clean so it doesn't bother me to clean it once and a while seeing it. i carry micro fiber rags at all times and the black stuff wipes right off with the rags

[LaraS]

^ Yeah, that's what I try to do too. :D

Yeah, I had them on my old sedan (in the regular 2003.5 finish) and decided it would be a great winter wheel for my Speed3. I didn't want to go to an 18" since winter tires would have been ridiculously expensive. :) The only other pictures I have can be found here: http://www.larawdesigns.com/Mazdaspeed3/

Yep. Moonshine has a bunch of pics that were good when I took the Speed3 and Mr2 up there. I've been to the Dragon like 4 weekends the past 6 weeks. LOL. Absolutely beautiful up there this time of year. I toured the Hellbender28 and Highway28: Quad-state tour (TN, NC, GA, SC). You should scope out that road next time you are there. Take hwy 28 from Deals gap to Franklin TN to Highlands TN/NC and then drive hwy 28 for about 30 miles until you reach SC.

Let me know when you are going to drop by again. I'm always itching to run the dragon and it's only a 2.5hr drive for me to get there. :) Oh yeah...and I've got in-car vid of a clean run up the dragon's tail posted up on youtube. :D

Take hwy 28 from Deals gap to Franklin TN to Highlands TN/NC and then drive hwy 28 for about 30 miles until you reach SC.

Let me know when you are going to drop by again. I'm always itching to run the dragon and it's only a 2.5hr drive for me to get there. :) Oh yeah...and I've got in-car vid of a clean run up the dragon's tail posted up on youtube. :D

wow lucky you. its about an 8hr drive for me from MI. A couple buddies and I usually try and make a trip early May before the official waking of the dragon. we hit the skyway and some other local roads but were only there a couple days so didnt venture too far, my bridgestones took a beating that trip, pretty bald at 12k miles now.

There are a few chips. :( I don't know.. I've just gotten pretty lucky. The car only has ~10,500 miles and I never follow close behind anyone. I'm sure as the months go by I'll get more and more.

yea mazda uses that "green" paint. Its environment freindly but extremely weak =[

[LaraS]

Sadly. >_< Oh well.

[sok07]

God that's low sok07.


Looks good attacking those turns on the Dragon doesn't it? ;D I've got H&R coilovers and the cobb rear-sway bar as the suspension tweaks. Runs reasonably well up there, I just need to bone up and buy new tires...as the old almost bald Kumho SPTs are in dire need of replacing. Dragged the front bumper in some of the uphill hairpin turns on exit. LOL

If i was to do my suspension all over again...I'd buy the tein basics, revalve them and run a different spring rate and free length. That's what we've got on my old (now little bro's) mazda3 and he was just whipping the car bends at the Dragon. I could barely keep up on the downhill runs.

[xDJ DUBx]

^ Yeah, that's what I try to do too. :D

[Silver Ecstasy]

Where did you wash it at?? That's like a garaged car wash! I tried the other day and my car kept freezing lol. Damn 16* weather.

Thanks - it's nice because they actually use heated water. The HIDs are 6000K


Where did you wash it at?? That's like a garaged car wash!

Just a local manual car wash. In the summer the rear doors are open, but they close them in the winter...probably to reduce traffic behind the building (less shoveling for them) and to reduce ice/wind/etc.

[Silver Ecstasy]

Yeah that's the other problem, all the wash stalls are frozen, making it very hazardous to walk around. My car is fucking filthy right now, it's not even funny.

nice! but is that a not so nice paint chip on the hood? I hate them on the white car so much, when I noticed the ones on my hood, I couldn't stop staring, and now they are mocking me every time I go near my car.

[sumthaiguy]

LOL i was hoping no one would catch that but yes its a dent/paint chip. i was driving on a local highway 2 days before the show and it was raining. a metal pipe jumped up from under a truck on the lane next to me and hit my hood. i was lucky it didnt hit my windshield. the hood was up during the show so it wasnt visible.

i HATE paint chips but i have so many =(. fixing hood and repainting basically the whole front end soon before the next show.

[vtakk]

what offset on these wheels? looks like smth from Honda World...

[Shiroi_ms3]

ouch that really does suck. I'm glad that it did not hit your windshield you can live and manage with the chip for a while but a smashed windshield not so much.

[sumthaiguy]

lol yea i know right? a smashed windshield wouldve been horrible.

lol smith from honda world? the wheel specs are :

18x8.5 +28
18x9.5 +35

looks great! any more pics now that all 4 wheels are on?

[not yellow]

just picked up a brand new '09 GT the other day, still in the break-in period. completely stock except for the MX-5 wheels and black lugs. definitely have some things in mind for it, would like to start by getting rid of that massive wheel gap!

yeah, it was one of the last '09s around. i was just lucky they still had it. i have some things in mind for it, but you know me... i like to keep it clean!


Congrats! BC coilovers will do the wheel gap trick my friend. But you'll never get as low as an MSP :(

i noticed right away that the fender wells aren't nearly as deep as my MSP was. it doesn't have to be slammed, but it needs a substantial drop. the stock suspension is way too squishy and tall for my taste, but i'm still thinking about what i want to do about it...

[xDJ DUBx]

Cant wait to see her at TBCM

[Silver Ecstasy]

cheers!

i'll probably end up going with coilovers, don't think springs will give me the drop i want. i just don't want to sacrifice ride comfort too much since it's a DD. the BCs on my MSP were super stiff even on the softest setting. looking for something a bit more comfortable that i can also tighten down for the twisty roads. how are your H&Rs?

[LaraS]

I highly recommend the H&Rs... they give you an incredibly aggressive setup without sacrificing too much ride comfort.

[onelsono]

yea and they also cost $2000 lol

[not yellow]

^ thanks for the tip.

you ride looks sick as hell BTW! definitely giving me some ideas...

[LaraS]

yea and they also cost $2000 lol

Where are you seeing $2,000? I've seen them brand new for $1,380. :) Or you could get lucky and pick up a used set for under $900.00.

[madvillian]

yea and they also cost $2000 lol

false, if you want a deal contact me.

[CnoTataymo]

not yellow - How much of a drop do you want? If you go H&R coilovers, they usually run about $1100-1300 brand new. They will drop you the lowest, there's no camber adjustment and you reuse the stock tophats. From what I've read/heard, they are rated at 40% stiffer than stock. If you want BC's again, they have everything you saw on your MSP but won't drop as low as them or the H&R's. They usually run $900-1000 and the spring rates are around 300-320 front/200-220 rear.

looking for something that at least has the potential to drop me 2.0-2.5 inches. factory specs for the H&Rs say up to 2.5" front and 2.0" rear. don't know the range on the BCs. but the H&Rs have no camber plate... and no damper stiffness adjustment???

[onelsono]

o my fault. i thought it said HKS. lol

thanks man, i got a hole new look for it coming this spring. =]

[CnoTataymo]

Yeah, if you want to drop it which those heights, H&R's are the ones for you. Don't be fooled by the drop rates they say, Sok07 is pretty damn low. And yes, the H&R's don't have camber plates or dampening adjustments.

[xDJ DUBx]

Man, thats a lot of money for just a drop. lame.

i was actually complimenting laraw but your post came in right before mine. i'm sure your ride is looking sick too! hehe...


Man, thats a lot of money for just a drop. lame.

so the next question is why are the H&Rs more expensive and have fewer features? is it simply better build quality? (i know my BCs were not the best quality the world has seen.) and will i be able to live with the factory dampers if i can't adjust them?

In a word:

Yes.

Better build quality coupled with actual platform-specific damper tuning/engineering goes a long way.

The BCs, from what I've seen/read/heard, excel in neither area.

[xDJ DUBx]

H&Rs!!!!

[not yellow]

H&Rs!!!!

hehe... yes, trying to decide between H&Rs and BCs. i don't trust the BC as much but the price point and adjustability are hard to beat. if the H&Rs even just had adjustable dampers i'd be all over them.

[Nliiitend1]

hehe... yes, trying to decide between H&Rs and BCs. i don't trust the BC as much but the price point and adjustability are hard to beat. if the H&Rs even just had adjustable dampers i'd be all over them.

Adjustability doesn't mean crap if the dampers are poorly matched to the springs.

The Bilstein dampers in the H&R kit were developed specifically for the rates H&R chose for the springs.

The BC dampers, from what I gather, are more or less the same cookie-cutter internals that they shove into all of their "BR series" damper bodies. I've seen no evidence to suggest that they were developed specifically for the 3/MS3 platform, and although I've never analyzed a damper dyno plot for an MS3-specific BC setup, the BC plots that I have seen have never impressed me in terms of damper curves and adjustability (for instance, the compression valving barely changes at all from full hard to full soft, and the ratio of compression:rebound damping in the plots I've seen are inappropriate at all but the softest settings).

I should also say that I've never seen damper dyno plots for the MS3-specific H&R setup either, but I've also NEVER seen a Bilstein damper plot that even approached being as questionable as the BC plots I've seen.

Take it for what it's worth.

[not yellow]

Have you seen the BC's snapped in half just from some normal freeway driving? Might be those freak accidents, but ive seen it happen to many times to trust them on my car.

[not yellow]

Have you seen the BC's snapped in half just from some normal freeway driving? Might be those freak accidents, but ive seen it happen to many times to trust them on my car.

usually when something extreme happens like that it's because some one was beating on the car or it's just a freak accident like you said. however, i had BCs on my MSP and the build quality was questionable. two of the brake line brackets didn't fit correctly and one of the endlink tabs sheared of completely within 5k miles. in the end you get what you pay for. i'll probably plunk down the extra cash for the H&Rs just to try something different.

[LaraS]

I'd definitely save for the H&Rs. I had BCs on my previous Mazda3 sedan and they were just junk in comparison.

[shaneS]

Im thinking of draining most of my bank account to get me a pair of H&Rs cause my birthday is coming up. Im excited :)

no rear flares? You got mud flaps tho, thats something that can also go where the flares are. But flaps would be pointless in the city tho. I'll never understand why people have flaps, especially the subarus if they are rolling in the city where there isn't any mud and it hardly ever rains.

I honestly Dont like the look of them on cars..so used to seeing them on trucks and suvs...BUT..if its practical where you live-alot of debri..then hey go for it..and ive gotten rocks hitting my windshield from city streets to highway roads and if that person would have had flaps on thier rig..then it wouldnt have happen..so whom am I to argue with logic..if it works and people wanna put em on thier cars more the power to them.

In regards to the flaps, I bought a set of the Rally Armor urethane ones with blue logo and installed them, I had them on my car for about a week before I ripped them off and threw them in a box in my buddies garage. I did not like the look. Different strokes for different folks, but I think they make the MS3 look like a truck.

do you still have them laying around and would you be willing to sell them?

[MM BOOST]

I still do, however it don't have all of the hardware required. I would be willing to sell them if you can figure out how to get the hardware to install them. I hated the way they looked and i took them off and tossed em in a box, and I don't know where all the bolts and stuff are.

[Jon MS3]

wide and stubby metal screws, with thick threads, and washers works fine. some of the hardware supplied with mine have fallen out, none of the replacement ones i described have been lost. (looks good too)

Doesn't look like rice to me... however I really dislike those rear bumper flares... they just don't go well with the lines of the car.

[strytnyne]

i appreciate your opinion laraw =] in hindsight though, i think it matches the aggressiveness of the front lip. It'll hide a good bit of this tire, after its on i believe i can pull it off. ^^

+1

[FOGMIC 3]

+2, but also a decent (if it exists besides DG's) rear difuser may assist with those add-ons for after effect I think.

[strytnyne]

lol now i feel like a guinea pig xD

[charlessss]

Actually another member from a different forum has both that lip and rear add on.. search if you want to get a better idea on how it looks if you havnt yet. I believe he is also on work cr kai's.. but great choices for the car none the less!(drinks)

Psst... take your side moldings off.

haha... i'm on the fence with that one. i change my mind about it every other day. sometimes i like them, sometimes i don't. i think they make the car look lower, but not as clean. i'll probably end up taking them off at some point...

take em off. Youll be happy

[Silver Ecstasy]

I was on the fence about it FOREVER. SO glad I took them off. So much easier to wash and dry the car. I don't know why I justified keeping them on. Glad they're gone (even though I didn't mind either way - at the time). Now i'm extremely glad I took them off.

I would do it sooner than later since the car is new and there would be 0 paint fade or any other complications with taking them off. Car looks damn good btw. I like the debadged look going on in back.
