The 2017 facelift now has a perfect grille, complete set of blades...
Look at 2014-16's:


Here's the Facelift:


1 hitch w/ the perfect grille...OE plate holder needs 4 HOLES drilled.


I've been getting a handful of requests for a facelift version of the original No-Drill Plate Relocator. The '14-'16 one won't fit. Had to start from scratch...
Finally after some wait, it's OUT & tested on variants w/ lip & without....
With aero-lip:

Without lip:

Sorry should have posted this here instead of the other thread:

Yup with the plate relocator,the 2017 grille looks better than the 2014-2106. I'm also looking for ways to conceal that center part. A member ordered a rectangle honeycombe grille, & he just cut it himself to fit it in front of the grille.

This pc from Odula may look better, doc.....

I was driving today and noticed that my check engine and tsc/dsc lights are on. Has anyone experienced this? Will have it checked by casa tom.

Nothing unusual felt? Have the wheel speed sensors & contacts checked 1st.

Having my 40kms PMS now and a little disappointed with Mazda. Based on the Periodic Maintenance Schedule checklist they gave me when I acquired the unit, it states that the spark plugs will be replaced. Now they say it won't and they have updated the list. It's just misleading. No big deal since nakaka 5kms nga lang ako sa car e. Pero bad business practice lang. They could of atleast informed the customers with the "old checklist" sa previous PMS visits. The reason was iridium daw ang gamit na sparkplugs ng Mazda3 Skyactiv and not the cheap kind. They said it would last till 100kms. Whether that's true or not, it just gave me abit of a bad experience kahit pa sabihin na buti nga may Yojin3.

The SKYs the Limit: Looking into Mazda's SKYACTIV Engine Technology - Engine Builder Magazine (Skyactiv Engine)
"Spark plugs are long-life platinum with a replacement interval of 150,000 miles."

But your Mazda 3 is a non-Skyactiv Engine. Yours is the Mazda 3 1.6L Maxx variant so better clarify and verify that to shop.

I understand your disappointment, but really wouldn't worry much, sir. Stock plugs now are really rated as mentioned. This isn't just Mazda. Plug & engine tech have come a long way since those days when regular tune ups on carb'd cars would include plug change.

I didn't notice they made a mistake as well with the model type. Mine is a 1.5V Skyactiv, not the 1.6 Maxx.

Just to add to another disappointment, i just noticed a white mark on my black plastic door trim when I got home. Couldnt get it off with water. Before the casa used to ask if you wanted the car to be washed, and I thought they would do that. I should've proactively said not to wash it based on stories I read here.
They must've put a chemical they weren't supposed to. Anybody know how to get it off? Thanks.



Edit: just saw online to use an eraser or even peanut butter. I'll give it a try.[emoji1]

Try some WD-40.

Thanks, but the eraser actually worked. 😀
