New 3
 

I got my 2004 3 last week and I love it!!!!
I want to do some cosmetic upgrades and I am having trouble figuring out which ones to do. I am gonna list what I am looking for and if anyone has done the upgrade respond and lemme know what you did and what you think.

Stubby antenna
short shifter
racing pedals
decals
exhaust upgrade

Any help or pics would be appreciated!!! :tit:

I got a S2000 antenna from a buddy that works for Honda(Fits Fine, only cost $8). I like the OEM shifter, I hate after market pedals(unless they are a whole replcement and not just a stick on cover), decals in my opinion are just straight up gay(so fresh and so clean is the way to be), exhaust they have out for the 3 are pretty much worthless(check out the Dyno sheets before getting one). Dont Void your warrenty just yet, wait for a exhaust that adds some WHP and not just noisey 5" grapefruit launcher.

Thx alexa.
So I just go and get the S2000 antenna from the honda dealer and put that on? is the reception good on the new antenna?? Also, how difficult is the install, is the base the same size?

when you say "upgrades" do you only mean looks? Are you also interested in performance or what?

p.s. Welcome to the club. You're going to enjoy your car. They are t3h hotn3zz

Rodd,
I am interested in both. I just dont wanna do anything that will void factory warranty for awhile. So mostly cosmetic for now.

rodd u around ????

yeah, I'm here...I'm always here. I just can't really help you much on the new 3 since I don't have one. I think the stock body kits are awesome and there is not a whole lot of performance parts made for it yet.

If you want advice I will tell you this: If you're at ALL concerned with your warranty DO NOT MODIFY YOUR VEHICLE. Mazda TRIES to void your warranty at every chance you get. They basically make money if they can void your warranty. Don't give them any reasons or just accept the fact and pay for the small repairs out of your pocket.

has anyone installed Eibach springs on their 3 yet? Also what about some Brembos?
