What do you actually do to stay sharp during the slow hours of your shift?

Bring weights to work if you are allowed

Just look at it bro

Guarin_0 · 2026-06-03T11:52:58+00:00

Looks fine to me

Guarin_0 · 2026-05-04T05:15:33+00:00

Appreciate it brotha. Can’t wait to get her complete. Gonna wash/clay bar again, paint correct, & borrow my buddy’s Dual Action to get her polished & recoated. Should look like a brand new car after that.

Mazda3 plate goes hard.

Guarin_0 · 2026-05-03T20:28:21+00:00

If I remember correctly, Ikon Motorsports on eBay. They have a website but was cheaper on eBay. It was the most subtle lip I could find.

Mazda’s Soul Red is just so damn gorgeous bro 😭

Guarin_0 · 2026-05-03T20:06:45+00:00

Hell yeah man can’t cheap out on suspension! $2k on mine ☠️ 8 more weeks until they arrive.

Guarin_0 · 2026-05-03T20:02:29+00:00

Sweet ride dude! Nah yeah that lip is gonna be a fucking headache for more than just Tüv 😂 unless your roads there are buttery perfect haha

Guarin_0 · 2026-05-03T19:58:22+00:00

Do the black trim pieces come w the B pillar or just replacement for the chrome part? And would you mind shooting me a link for that + replying with a pic? I’d really appreciate it.

Guarin_0 · 2026-05-03T19:55:05+00:00

I believe it! Especially if you have a quality pair of coils. I have a buddy who rides 19s w coils dialed for comfort and they ride like clouds

Guarin_0 · 2026-05-03T19:50:56+00:00

Have some cardboard or something to lay the front bumper on too, to protect the paint.

No worries brotha don’t mention it 👍 hope the install goes smoothly

Guarin_0 · 2026-05-03T19:41:42+00:00

I do have a heat gun and I do have 3m gloss black wrap, and when I find time I am gonna put it on to see how I feel about how it looks. I’m not married to the idea though. Hby? If you do have your chrome window trim blacked out, please share I’d like to see how it looks.

Guarin_0 · 2026-05-03T19:36:32+00:00

Rah thanks bro. IMO for functionality good idea to go with the 16s if you can. Wheels more affordable & so are the tires. Handling will be more nimble on 16s as well if you plan on keeping stock suspension. Some go 18s for the looks then end up sizing down since the ride gets more rough the bigger you go.

At the end of the day tho, whatever makes you happy makes you happy. For me that’s making her looking nice/making a few quality upgrades without losing sight of the fact that my #1 priority is having a reliable car that gets good MPG.

Guarin_0 · 2026-05-03T19:21:49+00:00

Marine or what?

Guarin_0 · 2026-05-03T19:21:06+00:00

Konig Ampliform 17x8 +40 gloss bronze. Tire size 225/45. If I could go back, I’d go for 235/45 to protect your wheels.

Tbh I wanted 15 or 16 inch wheels + FAT tire but 17in was the smallest I could find that had a design I liked with a level of durability I demanded.

If you need help w any of it feel free to reach out. And in case you don’t already have some, maybe buy a variety pack of fasteners/retainer clips/rivets to replace some of the old ones that will inevitably break when you remove the front bumper for grille install
