SlickMS3's Liquid Silver Metallic 2013 Mazdaspeed3

[SlickMS3]

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to start off by saying that I've been lurking the forums for a LONG time - probably ever since I got my MS3 over 2-years ago - and I really enjoy how helpful everyone seems to be on here, it seems to be a great knowledge base for these very special and frustrating cars we enjoy to drive and mod daily.

Here's what I had before the switch to my MS3...

Anyways enough of my intro, onto why I'm making this post, my 2013 Mazdaspeed3...

At this moment it's November and she's away in storage for the first winter since I've owned it which means, no more DD! Lots of mods will be coming in the spring for sure!

So far here's what the little silver hatch has in it - not much of a list - but still a start...

EXTERIOR MODS:
8,000K HID's for Fogs/Hi/Low Beams
Custom Cool White LED Strips in Headlights
Colour-Matched Side Reflectors and Black Painted Headlight Housings
Colour-Matched Side Reflectors and Black Painted Taillight Housings
Gloss Black Wrapped Roof/Front Fascia/Rear Fascia/Mirrors

ENGINE MODS:

Headlights looks great.

[Kiewan]

Looks really clean. +1 on the headlights. Did you DIY them?

[FD22]

Welcome. Car looks great so far. Also love the look of your previous 6.

[EzRush]

Looks Great, I like the black roof and the effects on the hood. I might have to borrow the idea for my 2012 LSM MS3.

[SlickMS3]

Thanks for the feedback guys, yea I opened the headlights and tail myself and painted them. I'll see if I can find some pics of them a little more close up.

Here's a couple shots of the tails...

Welcome and great looking car! You should come out to our meets in the Burlington/Hamilton area sometime. There are a few Speed guys and a few 3 guys. Now the meets aren't as good due to the weather but the summer we had some good ones. Check it out below;

I'm liking your partial hood stripe. Was that your own idea? If so, kudos.

Hey man, yeah it was an idea that just came to me while I was wrapping the roof, etc. I forget where I saw something similar. I have extended the stripe down to the hood scoop since that last pic but it's essentially the same idea though.

Gorgeous car. Awesome job.
