Thumbs up First Car Purchase..I think I chose the right ride!

Just purchased my first new car after driving Volvo's for the past 5 years. All I can say is that I wish I knew about this car when I first started driving! Love driving the 2012 Mazda 3 GT hatch, and the gas milage is by far my favorite part of this purchase...

I would love to put some different rims, and some tint on my new ride to make it a but different than just the stock, so any and all suggestions and places I can go in the Orange County, CA area are much appreciated!

And yes, that is another Mazda 3 right next to mine. My mom liked mine so much that she ended up getting herself the sedan.

I definitely will be asking questions. To be honest, I have little knowledge of car parts, but I enjoy looking at all the different types of mods here, makes me envious!

Like I said, any suggestions of shops to go to do for simple things like LED brakelights/floorlights/cup holders, as well as tint would be appreciated! I don't trust myself doing them myself, and to be honest, I probably couldn't do it!

Some are pretty easy to do like replacing LED's, HID's, some mods. But tint I agree with someone else doing it. Just remember to use the search button before creating a thread since your question has been most likely asked!
