Bought Lucie on 3/23/13
2013 Velocity Red Mica with Tech Package
Her first snow
Sold this one!
You know sadly I should have done this a long time ago but never did it but I will update this correctly when I get the speed hopefully now in the next few weeks! Keeps getting delayed to get it. Argh
Anyway let me start this off from at least pictures I have and from what I can remember. Also sorry that most of my pics are taken at night since im constantly busy and only have my time late at night.
Here is my 2010 Mazda 3i sport picked up in August of 09 with 75 miles on the ODO
The first mod I did and stupid of course since I was cheap at the time. Custom built Cold Air Intake which I had built at school.
I then purchased some DDM apexcone 12k lights
The first real mod I did and also hardest to date was to weld these Hella 500 in the front bumper and rivet the Hella 2500 Optilux Fogs into the fog spots. Had the help from a local shop at the time! Also had added the LED strip underneath the Headlight housing to give some ok effect.
Here was a video I posted awhile back
Also I had added an Eonon D2217 system which you'll see in the video and BTW I do not recommend piece of junk and Im already back to stock for now! I paid for what I got
Here's with all the lights I had at the time
Also purchased my rims from a friend for $50 who had them on a mazdaspeed protege but had someone crash and total his car and had no room for these rims! Rims came with junk tires Barum Bravuris 2 205/40/17 but had 40% tread left so I wasted them as fast I could since they made the car looked really raised haha which it still is I know!
Later in October I purchased a Simota SRI gladly enjoying that still
Then went to EECMM in October and purchased from Derrick himself from Corksport the LED kit
Oh and also installed foot well lights back in May
Also in May I painted my calipers red and got some Red Gorilla Lug nuts sorry car was dirty at the time and was only pic I had lol
If I remember correctly did this in April my emblems and did Evil M but my way not the really curvy way
I painted my housing black and the high beams chrome blue and added a LED underneath to give a glow as a DRL sort of!
Ok so heres the headlight baked and opened(They are such a pain and be careful I suggest using a heat gun. I was able to fit the headlight in my oven(surprisingly:shocked And it was a tight fit and it burned some of my plastic
Here's is the result of my first coat all black and the High Beams area is blue!
The products I used which are great. I think I should have chosen a high heat clear coat but as of right now it seems fine
Now the finished look plus I added a LED strip to give a small effect to the car(The LED strip will not show when completely installed its hidden)
Ok everything is now installed
The LED effect is hard to see but it makes my headlight glow
This still doesnt show the full effect
And as of right now my last project which I did this past weekend
So I retrofitted my fogs with 3k HID's, installed a mazdaspeed 3 exhaust, oil change, and installed some superbrightled.com bulbs in reverse lights! Also a lil bummed today someone backed into me I guess while I was at the gym and knocked out one of my Hella 500 lights! Oh well time to upgrade to something brighter I guess.
Here's the reverse lights dont have pictures of mine but heres the bulbs
Sadly I wasn't thinking when I got this but I totally forgot that the MS3 exhaust is 2 in shorter than mine! I went to store and got some temporary pipes until I can find some tips to weld or bolt on to extend the exhaust!
Here it is with some shitty piping lol
And here we go with my fogs now! They came out green which I liked even better I guess it was due to my yellow overlay film
Here with 12K and 3k lights on
More updates to come!
