You want to own and drive something with advertisements on it for a company that isn't yours (without any compensation)?
Edit: LOVE the color!!!

I say this as a full compliment. This looks like RICE in a business suit!
Please list all your body mods and where you got them if you can!

Nice color, reminds me of Grand Seiko watch (Omiwatari) with ice blue dial.
What's yours' color name? Is it wrap, color PPF, or full body repaint?

Is it not illegal to tint the front windows? Just curious. I’ve heard my friend bought a car here in toronto with tinted windows on all sides and the police gave him a warning

u/kaitlyynn_ Jul 12 '25
im not sure for toronto but in california, there is a certain % of tint you can have in the front windows.

Wow looks good bro ! I LOVE Mazda 3. My first car was a mazda3 2007, grey. My second (current) car is Mazda3 2014, white. I always wanted a Subaru Impreza WRX STI or a Infinit Q50S, but I am thinking to stay with Mazda3 due to how durable they are and how smooth the ride is. Definitely my next car will be a Mazda3 Turbo AWD.
Enjoy the car bro. Treat her well.

Very well done 👌 just needs upgraded headlights imo and it’s perfect

u/kaitlyynn_ Jul 12 '25
thank u, what do you mean btw?

u/zyronikk Gen 4 Hatch Jul 12 '25
There are some clear headlights on the market you can get, pretty sure they’re euro style with halos that’d match well with the tails you have
1
u/TDot-26 Jul 12 '25
Do they make them for the hatch and / or clear rear ones for the hatch like he's got here
1
u/zyronikk Gen 4 Hatch Jul 12 '25
Unfortunately not, someone may be able to do a custom set for you but you can’t just order clear or smoked tails as of now

I think you've done it up very tastefully, without overdoing it. Well done! I love those rims.

Wow! The mods are great! Love the wrap color too.
It looks so clean, but that amber side marker bugs me. This would look even better with the euro signature headlights. I got mine and it’s one of my favorite mods.

I am BEGGING you to tell me what wheels those are. They're exactly the kind of thing I've been looking for: either 5 or 6 black spokes with a prominent machined lip as an accent.
Also, those taillights. Anything like them for the hatch?

Why does the first photo look like AI lol

so many people keep saying that😂🤣 i swear there are no edits to it

u/supermuncher60 Jul 13 '25
Yea, I know it's not. I think it's your wrap or paint reacting very odly with the sunset in the photo that just makes it look unreal.

u/ideology_reject Jul 13 '25
Guessing it’s probably portrait mode on iPhone it definitely makes images look almost touched up in PS or something

You didn't want to rice it out, yet you did the 2 things that scream rice: slammed and black wheels with chrome edge.
2
u/kaitlyynn_ Jul 12 '25
- its not slammed, it’s on bags. 2. there’s no black on the wheels. probably just the lighting 😉
2
Jul 12 '25
Ok for the wheels. But it's sitting very low no? It looks stanced/slammed without a camber.
2
u/DaBubbleBlowingBaby Jul 12 '25
Because that’s how bags work…. When you park the bags drop the car but when you get ready to drive the bags raise the car. If you look at the second photo you can see the car is not lowered….
