Hey Everyone!

I have finally finished upgrading my car as far as I think I want to take it at this point and thought I'd share.

From the dealership:
2013 Mazda 3 Skyactiv GS-L
+Leather package w heated seats and power seat for the driver
+tinted windows
+wheel locks
+moon roof

My changes:
installed OEM Mazda spoiler
changed to 18" wheels (2006 Mazda RX-8 - sanded and painted myself) with Goodyear Eagle Sport A/S 225/40r18 tires
window vents
tinted blue headlight protective film
K&N cold air intake (not recommended, as I had to make a modification to fit inside, even though K&N states it's supposed to fit)
changed interior lights to LED (white in the front, blue in the back)

Sweet ride!! Black is the way to go, nice and stealthy. I also have the 2013.

My suggestions: Plasti dip all emblems, create eye lids for the headlights using plasti dip. I saw a couple of videos on youtube, looks really cool. Gives it that pissed off grin :P
You could also change the dome lights and the map light to a different colour LED. I chose blue. I see you got the fog lights, have you thought about getting DRL's? I like the 18's ... I feel your pain on the wheel gap but I'm struggling with the same issue. I have the Motegi MR 116 17" I'd love to lower my car but no dough available for that type of change.

Have you had any issues with the blue head light film? Who did you purchase it from?
