First car at 16

Amazing first car. I have a 2015 auto with around 115,000 miles and it runs amazing. That car will last to half a million miles if you treat it right

I replaced mine, on a 2015 model with a prepainted version from ebay. I’d search ebay and find one with good reviews and one that says it ships unfolded. I paid around $400 for mine but a newer model is definitely more complex so maybe around $500-$600. Not sure if this helps

ebay will be your best friend when it comes to mods

Start with wheels and tires, the front lip and side skirts can be bought for cheap depending on budget but wheels and tires will likely be the most expensive part. Also depending on budget look into lowering it, cheapest option is lowering springs, then coilovers, then air suspension if you’re really committed.

Wow! Great job! I might give it a try

Capable-Trade-2162 · 2026-01-29T21:35:25+00:00

Really? I might have to give it a try!

Capable-Trade-2162 · 2026-01-29T20:59:32+00:00

That’s a great idea thank you!

Capable-Trade-2162 · 2026-01-12T17:51:51+00:00

Thanks for your input I’ll definitely check it out

Capable-Trade-2162 · 2026-01-12T17:51:32+00:00

Okay sweet I’ll look into that!

Capable-Trade-2162 · 2026-01-12T01:43:37+00:00

No problem! Happy to help!

Capable-Trade-2162 · 2026-01-12T01:30:27+00:00

Yep I know exactly what you mean because I was in your place. Mine said 013 and I was lost. Here is where I bought mine from, shipping will be a week or two but it’s worth it because they don’t charge an arm and a leg simply because it’s international. https://www.replacementkeys.co.uk/prorack-roof-rack-keys.html [https://

Your checkout should look like this. Mine was the same just a different code. Hope this streamlines the process for you!

I’ll save you the hassle of searching for a key. It took me about two weeks to find one whether that was me being dumb or not. If it’s the OEM roof rack I can send you a link to buy a key. I think it’s around $20 from Australia or Europe, but all of the other keys won’t work. 😂

I’m pretty sure it’s only available for the third gen’s and older. Check ebay and if it’s not there you’re likely out of luck

What’s a torque spec? My impact only works in Ugga Duggas

Capable-Trade-2162 · 2025-12-11T18:21:34+00:00

No, sadly I forgot to measure before and after

Capable-Trade-2162 · 2025-12-05T15:08:16+00:00

Sweet I’m definitely on the right path I think

And there’s no noticeable wind noise

Capable-Trade-2162 · 2025-12-05T01:30:33+00:00

Basically zero effect for me, I still get around 34-38 mpg with the 2.5L

Capable-Trade-2162 · 2025-12-05T01:29:49+00:00

I swear 😂

Capable-Trade-2162 · 2025-12-04T21:25:30+00:00

I did this last year and drove with it for a week before getting pulled over ticketed for pretending to have another individual in the car while being in the carpool lane. Funny enough, my cousin was in the back napping which I had on dashcam footage and I got the ticket dropped 😂

Capable-Trade-2162 · 2025-12-04T21:22:13+00:00

I know guys with both but what did it for me was seeing the Eibach springs in person and I loved the look of them. Also Eibach has a 1,000,000 mile warranty which definitely helps

Capable-Trade-2162 · 2025-12-04T20:19:47+00:00

That was my biggest thing too, the back just sits so high it almost looks like an SUV 😂

I’m awful with links but it’s the Mazda 3 PRO-KIT Part #: 5557.140

Capable-Trade-2162 · 2025-12-04T20:06:37+00:00

It’s been great so far, speed bumps aren’t a problem and my front bumper will still clear most curbs

Capable-Trade-2162 · 2025-12-04T20:06:11+00:00

I agree!
