Besides the 12k HID's, that car is pretty impressive. Not a common chassis to see done nicely.

booooo a sedan! J/k. I own a hatch in the same color. Is that HKS exhaust a catback, or just the muffler?

Is it an automatic? I like the lip as well.

Car looks good.

Get the lip and grill painted. Fitment on the wheels is nice too, nice drop. Get some nice tires, some Azenis on there and it'll look really aggressive.

i doubt it took a ls v....the mazda is rated at 7.5-8.0 sec to 60mph....... not exactly pin you in your seat fast. Why is the radar detector posted so high up in the windshield? Someone wants to look fast

I would say fewer obstructions and less chance of it blocking his view while driving. Since when does having a radar detector mean someone wants to look fast? I wouldn't want to drive through Austin without one.

^ well I feel naked without one as well but I place it low so it is hard to see. Not posted up high so everyone knows I have it possibly insinuating that I drive fast.

Higher mount = better line of sight for the radar.

That's what I meant when I said "...fewer obstructions...". You (and Valentine) merely worded it better.

Looks good, you should tint the reflectors and the 3rd brake light to match though.

Looks like it might be an electric vehicle.

The 3 looks really clean, too.
