Mitchell3's Mazda 3

[Mitchell3]

Hey all. I used to have an account on here at least a year ago but I cant remember my user name/password..

I drive a 2008 Mazda 3 Hatchback up here in Ontario, Canada. I've done a fair amount of stuff to it and I'm getting close to a pivotal moment where I want to put in one last big thing and some finishing touches on the car and be done with it. Right now I am playing with three ideas: Bags, wrap or plastidip, or the bare minimum. Right now with how awful this summer has been I'm thinking the bare minimum, my coilovers have given me so much trouble that I don't want anything that's not a straight forward install. Plus the stupid amount of rain is just depressing.

With the bare minimum, I was thinking then maybe next year powder coat the wheels and put the rest into getting a legit sound system. I want to try doing it all myself but I really don't know anything about it. In the near future I'll ask for your opinions on what I should get as a system once I figure out some parameters I'd like to stay within. Then the rest I'll hopefully figure out as I go on. Right now I just have a two 10 in subwoofer setup with JL speakers and tweeters. The ultimate goal is to have a car presentable at car shows.

Near future will see side skirts on the car for sure. The rest I cant decide.

Anyway here's the car -- The only thing out of date is the spoiler -- It has since been replaced to a Mazdaspeed 3 spoiler in carbon fiber.

Anyways, hoping to learn a lot from the community on this journey to a better sounding car!
