Ben Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I bought a white 2005 5-speed Mazda3 Hatchback 3 weeks ago. i want to add some stuff to it, both cosmetic and performance. i live in rural New Hampshire so a body kit with 2 inches of ground clearance would probably not be the right choice if you get what i mean. please post your ideas, suggestions etc. also if you have pictures of the parts that would be much appreciated. Thanks, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troutman Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 HID kits are popular with that model, I also like the idea of LED tail lights from the top model. You might get some ideas from the 3s on this site: http://www.ozmazdaclub.com/forum/member-rides/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mts Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 White rims will look good, tough to keep clean looking though, black bezel especially with tinted windows. Just make sure you don't go too low, 1.4" should be OK... if a speed bump looks to high then avoid it. I think Tein makes a nice set of coil-overs for your car.

Ben Posted July 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 kk, also speed bumps isnt what im worried about. its more bumps, frost heaves, and pot holes in the road. also, i weigh 250lbs so i put the car a little lower when im in it. imma go take some pics of it.

Ben Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 whats cai and hid's can u give links, also i live in nh so i cant tint glass that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 CAI = Cold air intake, for the mazda3 there pretty easy to find, ebay is great hid, I think you havea 9006 bulb, but check on that what you want is a color temp of 4300k, in whatever your bulb size is. So if you have a 9006 low beam stock just search for 4300k 9006. A complete kit will include 2 bulbs, 2 ballasts, and plug and play wiring, very easy to install.

///BHRpowered Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 eh, local auto parts parts really aren;t that great unless you have an american car, or want to be a ricer. go with online, especially ebay for things like the intake and hid's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
