here's pic's of my best friend eric's 08 mazda3. its a loaded GT with leather and a 2.3 mtx.
this is his 1st Mazda, but he's been around them over the last decade because of me and the dozens ive owned.
so far it has a carbon fiber hood. with a V style paint job that we do in the mazda6's alot. the carbon fiber grill was imported, but all the mounting spots were totally wrong for an american car. so we re-did all the mounts using nuts, and fiberglass. and its worked great. the rear sway bar is a JBR adjustable unit to go along with the Ultra racing front and rear strut tower bars. I recently upgraded my mazda6 to a set of RX8 wheels, and sold him my old Mazdaspeed3 wheels i was running previously. Those will be going on as soon as a proper drop is fitted.
