Talking I'm a new owner / protect your Mazdas paint

Hi guys I just traded my Black MP5 for the new Mazda 3S 5-door in red.
I like this car alot. It's cool.

What type of accessories are out for the 3s? I would like to put an intake and an exhaust. Short throw-shifter and a ECU chip.
Anyone know where to get any accessories? Please refer me to some web sites.

I would also like to recommend something for the new Mazda owners out there like me.
For those of you who like to protect your paint job there is a awesome product out there beter than wax. Its called Toughgarud. go to www.toughguard.com and read about this product. You won't regret it.
Also there www.invinca-shield.com its 3M film to protect your car from rock chips.

I guess no ones responding...

Hi... I just finished applying the toughgaurd and boy is it great. It rains everyday here in Florida and we have love bugs up the ***. I put this stuff on and now I don't get water marks on the car and the bugs don't stick. My car stays shinny all the time. Also I don't have to worry about waxing the car anymore. This stuff realy works guys. When I use to have the MP5 in BLACK I was always washing and waxing the car every Sunday to keep my car looking pretty, now I don't have to worry about that. All I do now is rinse the car down. The wax on the BLACK MP5 use to collect alot of dust and stick to the paint.
This coming weekend I'm putting on the Invisa-shield so I can protect the front end and all the high impact areas from chips.
I love this car.

I like the idea of having a protective film in front...but its too expensive to have it....there r several paint protective films out there...u might consider Llumar..its more clearer than other brands. I don't have it in my car.....check TINTDUDE.com for feedbacks on ppf....Anyway, im jus keeping my car 50 to 100 feet away from cars or trucks in front of me......no chips yet to my front bumper or hood...another advice to save a lot of money.

Yea, I stay away from other cars as well but the love bugs here in Florida I can't help. I'ts going to be put on this Friday the 25th of June I'll take pics, and I'ts going to cost me around 600-700 dollars with installation and custom pieces. I put on the Toughguard and that works great to. It's been raining everyday in Florida and I don't get thoses acid rain marks anymore. I also stay with a real high shine compared to regular waxes. The old wax use to wash away very quickly with the everyday rain and harsh sun. I highly recommend this stuff.
