Chef's 2009 Mazda3 hatch

[MidnightAxela]

Looking good man. Good to see another Mz3 here

[1WICKED6]

Agreed. I was thinking about it. I need to pop rivet it on this time though. I broke it off last time at this height. I drag it everywhere and my driveway is the worst.

If I put the other lip on I will probably put the skirt extensions and the rear bumper flares back on too. It will be a little more busy looking but it will look about an inch lower.

THIS...is music to my ears

Looks good bro!

LOL fine Hector I will put the stuff back on when i get some free time. I need to pick up a pop rivet gun though screws didn't work so well last time. The black lip will sit like an inch off the ground at this height.

I can't wait... And when you get the stuff on we set a date to take some pics.... So close and the only pic we have of our cars together is the picture Justin took when we were leaving. We didn't even get a pic together that day we met at Sonic.

Just a few recent pictures. I washed her (for once) and swapped out for BCs in the rear. Dropped the rear somewhere between 1/4" and 1/2". I also had the rear fenders flared. They didn't come out as nice as I was hoping so they were painted matte black temporarily. I have plans for my fenders.

These shots were taken yesterday. This morning I pulled a collar out of my front BCs and installed my freshly painted AutoExe grill. New shots soon.











I also installed coilovers on my brother's 08.5 cwp hatch. He's on BCs up front with two collars in and my old H&Rs in the rear with just the springs. It's a nice drop. He also plasti-dipped my 5 spoke 17x7 +38 wheels with 215/45/17 tires on them.







It looks different than this already. He plasti-dipped my old splitter and side skirt extensions and put them on his car. I have to admit they look better on his than they ever did on my car.

very clean!:-)

[Chefsp0t]

Flares are painted.

[HEcreated487]

Undecided on the look of the fender flares.... Glad they're painted, now you can go wider! ... Details on the product manufacturer/model for the flares?

[Chefsp0t]

Yeah the wheels need a style change to go with the flares. It's in the works for next season. The flares are replica zg flares for old datsuns. I got them from ebay and they fit very nicely.

A few shots a friend of mine took at Wekfest NJ on Sunday.

[JawDropper]

Looks good.The flares set it off nicely.

[UGENECB9]

time to go wider or get bigger lips

[bedintruder]

looks great i have a big soft spot for the speed 3

[Chefsp0t]

Thanks man but this is the regular 2.3 no turbo. I do have plans for boost though.

[Chefsp0t]

Here's winter mode for this winter.





Not sure if it will be on new wheels in the spring. I might run the eurolines a little longer with less camber and the car dropped lower. Here's my favorite shot from Wekfest NJ.

[Pharm20lac]

looks good man

[crpwrx]

You need spacers or wider wheels bad. Shit looks sunk

[Chefsp0t]

LOL OHRLY? Tell me something I didn't know. The eurolines (which are 19x9 and 19x10 btw and still sunk with the new fenders) were on the car before I put the fender flares on. I didn't mess with camber or spacers because I put it in winter mode a few weeks after that picture was taken. They will be flush this year.

Unless you're talking about the winter wheels, which are 17x8.5 +10 (with 25mm spacers all around). I don't feel comfortable running any larger than 25mm spacers.
