What do you guys think?

What do you guys think?

Very Choice! , me likey alot! Some nice tasteful mods. I work at a Mazda Dealership as a parts guy, and I see alot of riced out Protege speeds and Maz3 speeds, but few are clean like yours, and the OEM Mazdaspeed accessory stuff is sweet (but too pricey imho)


BTW, did you notice any difference in seat of the pants performance with the MazdaSpeed CAI? or just in the sound? I have a customer interested in one. Would be interested in your opinion...

I love the MZR 2.3 DISI engine. I loved it in N/A Form, and almost shat myself when they released it as a turbo in the Maz 6 Speed. Then when the 3 Speed came out, my jaw dropped. Too bad its not AWD tho, that would have took the cake.

Anyways, enough of my blabbering!

Get some pics with the new rims :)

Do you have any communication with the designers while working in a dealership? Today I went to some marketing thing where they showed us a bunch of new Mazdas that were all bloated and too big. There are enough SUVs out there, I am amazed that the asian car companies are all making more when gas keeps incleasing and the size of parking spaces is decreasing.

It was a waste of 90 minutes. After having us look at and rate 8 different cosmetic designs for head and tail lights, they sent us home. We never got to talk about performance, milage, reliability, carbon emissions, not even cargo space. This whole damn hour and a half focus group was about shallow image! I bought my Madza because gas costs a fortune in LA and my garage is narrow (1930) and the car is damn reliable. Somwhere way down on my list I may have thought the jaunty tail lights were cute as a button, but probably not. Mazda is paying fools to get their customer input! And I hope Madza learns to focus on more important aspects of their cars than this reduculous thing I just participated in.

Nope, not a single thing. Very dumb of them, since we hear and see what customers that actually drive our vehicles or ones that are interested in buying really think of the Mazda brand

I do get to see the specs and pictures of the concepts and such before the public, but they look ridiculus.

Sorry it has taken so long to get back with the pics. I had forgotten about posring them LOL.

Nice car but id dont like the rims.

I dont know... The rims are unique, and there are things about them i like. If the inserts were black and the outside and lip were chrome, THAT would be sick.

They do still look pretty good on the car. And I noticed you had a Mazdaspeed CAI... you do know that they stopped selling those and might have even put a recall on them? I would look into that if I were you, before something happens.

Yeah, my buddy had those rims, but they cracked when he drove through a pothole like a week ago. I don't think it was a defect though. Apparently the pothole was unforgiving. :)

Really cool!
