That plate relocator was a prototype I experimented & shared amongst our Mown3r brethren. The guys like brothah Geo & those over in FB can demo you how it's done. First, you need these:
-EX41 JDM plate holder. Check out OLX, JDMSelect or shops in Banawe for this.
-Honda OE Backplate for the 02 CRV/City from Honda dealerships.
Once you have them, you'll figure it out.
For bodykits, Geo got it covered.....check Clifford's, Atoy, web & dealerships.![]()
to lip or not to lip???? another tempting modification.. help me with the itch masters! astig ba sa black ung aerolip? or hindi noticeable?
clarifying question: "Is there a modification guide regarding our mazda3?", formerly kasi sa club namin sa VCP, may EURO-LOOK setup vs JDM-LOOK setup.. clean/stock/minor setup vs heavily modded setup respectively speaking. I'm done with the JDM-Look na ginawa ko sa vios ko dati,ngayon, I want to try the Euro-look naman.. may 'separation-line' ba sa pag-modify naten sa mazda3? or salpak lang ng salpak according to own preferred taste? Mas gusto ko ung may sinusundan na concept kesa ung sabog ang concept sa dami na balak ilagay. At the same time, budget-wise eh very practical din..
They already said it, hahaha!
Pero for me, looking stock is the best. Better be like a sleeper car. Yan ang gusto kong ma-achieve sa Mz3 ko, isang sleeper car. Ayaw ko lang ng todo performance modification. Saktong palit intake lang at kung may sobra, Unichip. Maybe after Yojin 3 expires, tsaka ko ito gagawin. Tsaka ang 2.0 engine niya para sa akin is more than enough.
Pero kung theme usapan, gusto ko ang simplicity ng Euro look ;)
thank you very much sa kind and honest inputs mga master at gurus! Visited page 346.. long way to go bago ma-complete ang checklist.. nevertheless, it will serve a good waypoint in my plans (wicked plans, bwahahahaha).. ang babait talaga ng mga peepz dito sa forum! kudos to you brothers in horsepowers!![]()
I have the same taste with Sir Geo. I plan on making my (future) Mazda 3 sedan look like an executive/elegant sedan. I know it's originally sporty but I think it'll look good with a simple drop then a set of classy wheels.
hi guys, got my new MZ3, 1.5v hatchback. aluminum mettalic. my first new car. am happy to hve one[emoji4]
Grats, paczs sir. It's probably your best decision to date! Brothah Geo S will tell you that's the best M3 color ever.
You don't know it yet, but try keeping your coming addiction in check.....
Now, please go back to page 346....get on the awesome FB group. PM the admin Ritz Marcelino.
WelcoM3 HoM3 & enjoy the Mown3rship!!!!![]()
Modding rule of thumb: Go where your happiness leads you....to each his own.
That said, personally w/ the naturally pleasing M3, going the OEM+ look has been my direction, guided w/ discipline to keep the mod budget w/in a certain fraction of the car's cost. It really doesn't need much....Now, go back to the guide in page 346 & start your modlist, plainBlack sir.![]()
Eudm, Jdm, Usdm, Phdm or mix n match.. Its your call/car. Do what your heart tells you. My rule of thumb and you can do it or not: if its aftermarket and has no other purpose than just looking good, it doesn't go in my car.
Haha. Actually brah James, I'll stand by my word that the best color for me is the Soul Red. Have I had the budget for the 2.0, I would have bought it in a heartbeat. Hehe. Anyway, I'm still loving my Aluminum Metallic. No regrets. Not even choosy for a hobo like me. My inspiration is BlackMouth (though mine is Sedan version) with the clean and elegant setup.😎
The car came off the showroom needing nothing much. Looks top notch, handles like you'd-think-it's-a-bimmer....you can't blame the fellas who'd end up blinging out their M3s w/ non-essentials. It'll take discipline & resolve to ignore boredom's visits.
You got the right ride here, Yatta sir.
