Just got my brand new 2011 Black (Because we don't get white in the states(evil))MS3! Now I've been trying to figure out what VISUAL mods to do it. Throw me some ideas if you have em. Thanks

First thing I did was tint, change the wimpy horn, and since I don't have the fancy stero I put a sub in. Then I started on the performance mods.
 
First thing I did to my 2010 Mazdaspeed3 was a INJEN CAI, Window Tint and MGP Caliper Covers

First thing you should do is get rid of those ugly oem wheels and replace them with 1st gens. I could help you out with that if you want
 
nice car, sweet thing about these cars is there really isn't much visually you need to do. They look sweet already, just a few visual mods and then start on performance. Who cares how your car looks when you've got over 300hp. and it's not hard at all to achieve that.
 
This is only my opinion as are the rest of the posts but:
Change the Intake and TIP
RMM (I would give thought the SMM also but another day)
Step colder plugs
Solid BPV (I have a BOV/BPV that I run full recycle, might replace soon)
CBE
RSB and other suspension issues (I have BC coilovers and really need to sway out the FSB)
Short shifter device (had a plate and went to the full replacement)
OCC (I throw this in just to keep crap out of the intake system)
The above is in no particular order but the car needs to breathe so the intake is first

I would now think about the future, therefore the AP and correcting the fuel pump issue is in order. New pump or beefed up internals will work.
From here on out, it is just money and fun.
FMIC or beefed up TMIC, if you go with the TMIC I would also replace the inlet/outlet tubes
DP (my DP included a TP)
Tuning (I have a Cobb Stage 2 base map, I know it needs work, reading Abilor guide and Cobbs guide as well as other forums)
Meth Kit (I have DO kit but have been too lazy to put it on, I will need a tune for this)

Alot of eye candy out there, I have alot of it, as well as a BOSE POS system that is sitting in the attic and probably a bumpster soon.

Enjoy the adventure, research, research, research.
