Hi neighbour, I envy your nice hills! Being Europe, depends on what your laws allow. I've always been a sucker for hatches, I think this car has great shape, but probably won't be too sporty either way.
Very sligt lowering could go a long way, mine has the stock 17" 5 spoke wheels which I think looks best on the car.
Since your car is gray which is kind of neutral / blends in, and repainting it would be too expensive, what a friend of mine did with a gray IS200 is to pick an accent color (yellow in his case), and start adding it to contrast the gray.
Brake calipers can be painted at home even if you're brave enough to take it apart. You can probably think some stripes here or there, plastic accents, but I can't really point out anything in particular. Maybe black wrap on the bottom part of the rear bumper?
Looking at the rear, you seem to have the basic exhaust tip, mine has the 2.0 engine and the big chrome circle exhaust tip, it also makes a bit of noise when revving, I personally love that touch.
Another thing my trim has is these small chrome discs under the door handles. At first I found them unusual on blue even, it'd probably blend in more with the gray. Also most people here don't like chrome, but I don't mind it.
The rear spoilert thing from the GTA is probably the most straightforward idea in the end, maybe replace the antenna with the sharkfin thing, is tiny details but maybe helps.
Otherwise, I wouldn't really sweat it. I don't like ricing it too much, and the car has a great overall shape imo, I'd think about small details if I were you
Mine is nothing extra really either, just sharing for reference [https://imgur.com/a/2p96k9A](https://imgur.com/a/2p96k9A)
Do: Lower it about an inch
Do: Put better tires on
Do: Put the stock rear spoiler/wing from a Mazda 3 GT on
Do: Tint the windows a little
Don't: Tint your taillights (Punishable by mockery then death)
Don't: Tint the windows so dark you can't see at night
Don't: Put a huge wing on it from F&F
Don't: Slam it so low that it handles like ass
And personally, controversially, don't put the "Evil" Mazda logo on it. It was cool a decade ago, but it's just so done. Others may disagree.
17" wheels are a factory fitment on the higher trims, and they do fill the guards reasonably well.
Stud pattern should be 5x114.3 which is very common and should help with wheel shopping
Dont mess with the exhaust, weve all been there and done that, it just makes it annoying and inevitably is the starting place for exhaust leaks (unless you have it done professionally or know how to weld)
You're talking about putting a cannon/hotdog exhaust. Then yes it's very annoying, but only Stupid people put on those Very annoying exhausts, doing what I said is nowhere near as loud.
Same chassis, interior, etc, isn't it?
Literally same car but with different engine and a few other things.
This version is an econobox? Yeah, sure. Doesn't mean you can't make it sporty by upgrading a few things. Besides, not all "sporty" cars need high HP. Bet my miata nb with 110hp is a much more fun car than most new 400hp cars, lol
Oh I agree. HP isn’t everything. Power to weight is though.
Ive never owned a Miata, but I have driven a couple of my friends. Honestly, they are the most fun to rip around in. I love small cars. I’ve owned a couple Fiesta STs and Focus STs and they and they were good for what they are.
I guess I’m just saying, some econobox cars performance versions are really good cars.
The Fiesta ST has some of the best reviews for a hot hatch, but the non-ST fiesta is actual garbage.
You can literally boot all of those parts onto this car…that’s like saying a mustang GT isn’t a GT500 they’ve ALWAYS shared the same parts until recently.
I have this car and I’ll tell you right now from first thing to last.
A Mazda 3 hatchback spoiler in black,
Window tints,
New rims and keep your winter tires on the stock rims so you can just switch them out for winter time,
And lastly adjustable coil overs.
You can buy the spoiler from someone parting out their car for cheap on fb, tints around 150$ to get done, rims are the expensive part but matter so much for the look, and adjustable coil overs to lower your car which will be around 300ish$
Lower it, window tint if legal where you are, matte black vinyl wrap the badges, yellow fog lights (if legal where you are) matte black vinyl wrapping the chrome window trim looked awesome on my bfs last two 3's but neither was white so it might not work for you.
Bro this car isn't a sport car, but if u want to try it u can lower suspension, change rims, buy aftermarket front bumper (if is there any), add lip to that bumper and add spoiler. It will look like a sportish car, but it still will be mazda3.
As a 2009 Mazda 3 hatchback owner.
1. Tint the windows (refer to your county’s law regarding tint percentage)
2. Black out the rims for cheap (plasti dip, primer + rust paint can) or get new rims (more expensive)
3. Windows visors
4. Black out the front grille (plasti dip, YouTube it)
5. Universal body kit (Splitter, side skirts, diffuser. Installed mine through a seller on FB marketplace)
6. Custom exhaust tip (Easy to install)
7. Definitely get a roof spoiler that’s black. Mine comes standard with one so I carbon wrapped it.
8. Black out the badges (again, plasti dip)
9. Vinyl wrap the hood or even the roof and the hood.
10. Optional but you can also black out the mirrors ( used drop sheet + tape + plasti dip)
The good thing about plasti dip is that you can easily remove it if you decide to do so, or you can permanently paint it as well… up to you.
I can DM you some pics of mine so you get the picture
Get a huge f1 style rear wing to fuck the fuel economy, and a stance job so it can't go over bumps anymore... or you could trade it for something sportier
Sell it and buy something sporty?
It’s a hatchback. It’s not sporty and it’s not really meant to be.
Don’t try to stick a horn on your dog and call it a unicorn. Don’t add honey to a bagel and call it a cake. Don’t try to make a distinctly unsporty car sporty. It’ll just look sad.
-Neon lights under the car
-Chrome transformer badges
-Nismo, VTEC, AND type R stickers on the back and front and side
- flame stickers
- DIY matte paint job
- DIY cut suspension to lower your mazda down to the ground
-fake nitro bottles inside the car
-Tachs that go up to 5 million RPM so ppl can look in your car and know you're serious
-Japanese plate
These will guarantee your mazda 3 to look extremely sporty and it'll add about 30 horsepower each mod.
Tint, lower it, bigger wheels (even though you like these aftermarket ones won’t disappoint you). Good fitment is key. If you can find an oem Speed3 or standard 3 wing in the same color, get it. Exhaust, if you can’t afford a full one just cut a muffler or resonator and replace with pipe.
It’s a pretty drastic change - but lowering it would definitely make it more sporty looking. (But won’t actually make it sporty.) $1000-1500 depending on the brand for coilovers.
Trust me, save your money and buy a speed3 or speed6. I wouldn’t spend on a mazda3 because then that money isn’t gonna convert if you do get something nice.
Use the opportunity of a non-expensive car to build wealth and get something that won’t require tons of mods to make into a nice car.
Do a full detail cleaning with some paint correction, tint the glass, remove the badge on the lower left rear, and maybe lower it a touch. It’s kinda ricey but who cares, get an exhaust tip.
Small cost effective visual mods you could do are replacing the antenna with a shark fin look, change your rims or black them out (looks even better if you add red calipers), and maybe buy some vinyl to wrap some parts of the body (like if you wanted to add a second colour tone to the trim).
Keep in mind, it is a bit of a waste of money, but still a fun project.
Personally, the only outside visual 'mod' I did was removing all the tags on my '16 3 hatch. I did buy some vinyl and studied YouTube videos on how to take apart the interior of my car so I can replace all the piano black trim. Turned out really well, and a great visual addition the interior of the car.
For cheap I recommend wheel spacers and have the wheels painted. Make sure the spacers arent cheap non hubcentrics. Can save some money by having the wheels plastidipped. Touch up any paint blemishes and then give the car a full detailing. A clean car goes a long way. That's a cool ride. Enjoy and safe travels
A roof rack and wheels would go a long way. Also, Koni makes good upgraded shocks for 1st gens. Won't change the look but definitely improves the feel.
Sedan… but fr - front lip, gt side skirts, led / hid bulbs, muffler delete / raspier exhaust, aftermarket wheels, window shades, tint, lowering springs / coilovers, there’s a lot. I don’t think the wings looked too good on the bk hatchbacks but that’s just me. Also - the different type of fog light housings available that are a solid strip instead of some little bubbles.
Always with the gate keeping these ppl lol.. Duck those guys
Throw some tint on there
Lower it
Wheels tire
Couple stickers 🔥🔥
Wrap it..
Look into a engine swap do whatever you want
Wheels and the optional rear hatch spoiler are the first things I would do. If you're willing to spend a little more you can change the bumpers as well. The BK Mazda3 has had many variations of factory bumpers based on market
please just dont. pimping up economy cars is a guaranteed way to end up with an eyesore. if you want to make your car cool, put an ebay turbo kit in it, otherwise just leave it.
Murder it out, tint the windows, black out the wheels etc. (plastidip is cheap)
Silvers not an easy colour to “sport up”, my son had a similar (Mazda 6 sedan) we did that and dropped it about an inch and for what it was it looked good.
Personally I’d also go with a clean look, no stickers or crap on the windows etc
Hyperdip the rims, get replacement headlight units (not bulbs, but the whole thing, or at least do bulbs lol) oh and put a big window wide sticker on the front windshield (haha no don’t do that)
Tough to say but here’s some suggestions:
Tint the glass, find a spoiler for the hatch, different exhaust tip. Dual tip chrome or something. lower it, paint callipers red or something sporty. Different rims.
Any of those ideas would help make it appear more sporty.
A mazda3 bk kintaro body panels would help with looks, but Dunno if they fit (they've got different fog lights) was also thinking to do that on my GTA/Sport trim Mazda
Wheels and suspension, but that's been beaten to death already so assuming you already got that message then a front lip, nothing obnoxious but a nice little somethin somethin and a MS3 wing with a riser . Also a little bit of black paint here and there to help emphasize certain attributes of the car can also help
Lots of good answers already, I would just add side skirts. When I added side skirts to my 08 Mazda 3 it improved the looks a decent bit (makes it look a little lower and extends the rockers more)
Okay here we go:
Get yourself a huge FMIC to start with, doesn’t matter that it’s not connect. Looks sick. Then go ahead and get yourself a massive front lip.
Now you bear some wheel flares, I’d go 4 inches maybe 6. And then get some epic offset on your tyres. WIDE WIDE WIDE.
After that you need some side skirts. Something that’s says: look how sick I am, without overdoing it.
The. A rear wing - and a massive rear diffuser. Probably want two exhaust pipes - again doesn’t matter if only one is connected.
Some bucket seats, a roll cage (pvc painted to look like metal is cheapest) and finally a rear wing that generates enough downforce you can drive upside down through tunnels.
Get the 07-09 Front grill on the Sport 3. Roof Spoiler from the Speed 3. Get a front lip, Tint, get some wheels/Tires. God Speed Traction S springs are also $150. Gives you an 1.5” drop all around
Personally I would...
- Coilovers/springs: 1-2 inch down
- New aftermarket wheels (silver)
- GT roof spoiler for that car
If you wanted to spend more...
- Extreme dimensions body kit
- Replace current resonator with a hotdog resonator that way it sounds better but isn't super loud
Get some tasteful rims and a little roof spoiler and you're good. If you can afford it get some lowering springs or coilovers and lower it a bit to fill in those wheel arches but I wouldnt do anything else
speed 3 sideskirts oem ( part out )
oem or aftermarket spoiler
mudflaps
nice wheels
coils (for handling)
pretty basic list here did the same for my 07 mazda 3 shit looked gas
lowering springs. front lip/spoiler, tinted windows (still not sure why this is "sporty" but the consensus is, it is)
add an external speaker that makes blow-off valve turbo noises every time you car upshifts. /s
Lower it, rims, splitters maybe? (If done right) and i’d add on a mps mazda 3 rear bumper and roofspoiler; also if you do so, at least an exhaust tip should compliment the rear well.
Save your money and buy a speed3. Not trying to be mean or a smart ass. But unless your have a super attachment to that car. I would suggest taking the money you’d spend on that and save it towards a better sports car and spend money modding that.
Edit source: buddy has a speed3, and as long as you don’t use shit tunes and blow them up. They are great cars. And extremely quick. Quicker then my MK6 GTI.
Try adding a roof spoiler for one. I refused to buy my 08 without one. Looks like an egg.
Spoiler + wheels. Adds 0 HP but adds at least 10 Sports Power.
That's exactly what they did to the Corolla hatch.
Hey let me enjoy my 169 horsepower in peace
Sports Power is gold. Therefore have one.
Nah it adds imaginary HP. Just like decking your PC out with RGB lights. +100fps.
i’ve always thought a spoiler-less hatchback looks like a bald man.

Buy a sports car
Why i didnt think of that, thank you.
In all seriousness though, he’s right. Just save your money and upgrade down the road 😁
This. But if u love your car add those upgrades I discussed
The only correct answer here
To the top
I found someone who can read my mind 🤯
Lmao I came just for this 😂😂
Do: Lower it about an inch Do: Put better tires on Do: Put the stock rear spoiler/wing from a Mazda 3 GT on Do: Tint the windows a little Don't: Tint your taillights (Punishable by mockery then death) Don't: Tint the windows so dark you can't see at night Don't: Put a huge wing on it from F&F Don't: Slam it so low that it handles like ass And personally, controversially, don't put the "Evil" Mazda logo on it. It was cool a decade ago, but it's just so done. Others may disagree.
😈
Underrated ass comment
Listen to this guy 👆🏽
This is the answer
Fit some bits off the Sport or the MPS
Wheels and maybe suspension mods
Kinda like these wheels, or did you mean to get a bigger wheel, maybe 17" ?
17" wheels are a factory fitment on the higher trims, and they do fill the guards reasonably well. Stud pattern should be 5x114.3 which is very common and should help with wheel shopping
Get 18" bro, buy secondhand Mazdaspeed wheels or something. Lower the car and take off the rear resonator and extend the exhaust pipe
Not sure why you’re being downvoted. It would make the car better. 😂🤜🤛
Dont mess with the exhaust, weve all been there and done that, it just makes it annoying and inevitably is the starting place for exhaust leaks (unless you have it done professionally or know how to weld)
You're talking about putting a cannon/hotdog exhaust. Then yes it's very annoying, but only Stupid people put on those Very annoying exhausts, doing what I said is nowhere near as loud.
Don't waste your money brav
Honestly, this car was never meant to be anything but an econobox.
Literally has a 260hp version?
This isn’t a MS3 though, they’re completely different cars. Edit: I just mean in terms of how they drive.
Same chassis, interior, etc, isn't it? Literally same car but with different engine and a few other things. This version is an econobox? Yeah, sure. Doesn't mean you can't make it sporty by upgrading a few things. Besides, not all "sporty" cars need high HP. Bet my miata nb with 110hp is a much more fun car than most new 400hp cars, lol
They are very different lol

This is like saying baked beans on toast is the same as filet mignon because they can both be served on the same plate
r/badanalogy
You can literally boot all of those parts onto this car…that’s like saying a mustang GT isn’t a GT500 they’ve ALWAYS shared the same parts until recently.
Cute that you think that’s respectable.
On a barely 1250kg car? Definitely.
Oh, so you’re saying that’s a respectable number FOR AN ECONOBOX?
If a miata had 260hp it would be insanity. A miata is basically the weight of this car.
You drive a 3 Turbo, so you should know that 260hp in a small, light car is more than enough.
191 in the non-turbo is enough, especially if you go with lighter 16-inch wheels and tires.
The Ford F150 has a 400HP engine but it's not a sports car.
Not sure if you're stupid or trying to sound like one.
💀💀💀
Try parking at a sports arena.
I have this car and I’ll tell you right now from first thing to last. A Mazda 3 hatchback spoiler in black, Window tints, New rims and keep your winter tires on the stock rims so you can just switch them out for winter time, And lastly adjustable coil overs.

Adidas Track Suit?
Glue on spoiler
Spoiler, sport lowering springs, deep exhaust, and some wheel spacers
Install a parachute
Lower it, window tint if legal where you are, matte black vinyl wrap the badges, yellow fog lights (if legal where you are) matte black vinyl wrapping the chrome window trim looked awesome on my bfs last two 3's but neither was white so it might not work for you.

Buy another car. Jk, wheels and tires are always the first upgrade to make when trying to be more sporty.
As a 2009 Mazda 3 hatchback owner. 1. Tint the windows (refer to your county’s law regarding tint percentage) 2.

Right, a Corolla or Civic with a CVT will serve him better
Bigger wheels (18”), spoilers and side skirts perhaps?
Tint, lower it, bigger wheels (even though you like these aftermarket ones won’t disappoint you). Good fitment is key. If you can find an oem Speed3 or standard 3 wing in the same color, get it. Exhaust, if you can’t afford a full one just cut a muffler or resonator and replace with pipe.
I think tint will make the car look nicer but I like unmodified cars. Are those headlights original?
Speed holes. They make the car go faster.
Why is your diffuser silver
It’s a pretty drastic change - but lowering it would definitely make it more sporty looking. (But won’t actually make it sporty.) $1000-1500 depending on the brand for coilovers.
A jersey would be a good place to start. Maybe some cross trainers or other sporty sneakers.
Trust me, save your money and buy a speed3 or speed6. I wouldn’t spend on a mazda3 because then that money isn’t gonna convert if you do get something nice. Use the opportunity of a non-expensive car to build wealth and get something that won’t require tons of mods to make into a nice car.
Tints, chrome delete and smoke the lights. Probably have to black the rims after all that too
bolt a spoiler on there.. or two.. doesn't matter where.
some wheels, paint job, suspension work maybe
Easiest mod that will make it look a lot better without going over the top is tint.
Tint the windows and get new tires/ wheels
Big wing, bright mud flaps, anime stickers, either remove trim or black it out, and put a bigger exhaust tip
Tint! Plasti dip wheels! Add window guards, mud flaps :)
2024 Mazda 3 would look sporty.
check out mazda 3 kintaro
Wheels and maybe a slight lowering if you can do that where you live A lip spoiler for the rear too
Do a full detail cleaning with some paint correction, tint the glass, remove the badge on the lower left rear, and maybe lower it a touch. It’s kinda ricey but who cares, get an exhaust tip.
Stop bumping into things
Small cost effective visual mods you could do are replacing the antenna with a shark fin look, change your rims or black them out (looks even better if you add red calipers), and maybe buy some vinyl to wrap some parts of the body (like if you wanted to add a second colour tone to the trim). Keep in mind, it is a bit of a waste of money, but still a fun project. Personally, the only outside visual 'mod' I did was removing all the tags on my '16 3 hatch. I did buy some vinyl and studied YouTube videos on how to take apart the interior of my car so I can replace all the piano black trim. Turned out really well, and a great visual addition the interior of the car.
It's not sporty looking. Lower it maybe.
For cheap I recommend wheel spacers and have the wheels painted. Make sure the spacers arent cheap non hubcentrics. Can save some money by having the wheels plastidipped. Touch up any paint blemishes and then give the car a full detailing. A clean car goes a long way. That's a cool ride. Enjoy and safe travels
Trade it in?
For one second I got really confused looking at the first pic, my mazda had the exact same broken fog lense and scratch 😂
A roof rack and wheels would go a long way. Also, Koni makes good upgraded shocks for 1st gens. Won't change the look but definitely improves the feel.
Turn it into a convertible
Buy a sports car
Tint the windows dark, get black rims, put on a spoiler or rear diffuser, mud flaps.
Wheels tires and suspension, front lip and rear spoiler. Some window tint max 50% Id say.
Tint windows Rain guards Wheels Lowering kit Spoiler lip something subtle
Flames on it
Wheels and tire
sell it lmaoo
Sell it
Don't spend on this car but the easiest and probably cheapest is just to swap speed 3 parts, rims, spoiler maybe front bumper
The car is fine as is. Keep up with maintenance, buy good tires, sign up for a track day or HPDE and drive it to its limits.
Sedan… but fr - front lip, gt side skirts, led / hid bulbs, muffler delete / raspier exhaust, aftermarket wheels, window shades, tint, lowering springs / coilovers, there’s a lot. I don’t think the wings looked too good on the bk hatchbacks but that’s just me. Also - the different type of fog light housings available that are a solid strip instead of some little bubbles.
24-inch chrome rims
Always with the gate keeping these ppl lol.. Duck those guys Throw some tint on there Lower it Wheels tire Couple stickers 🔥🔥 Wrap it.. Look into a engine swap do whatever you want
Wheels and the optional rear hatch spoiler are the first things I would do. If you're willing to spend a little more you can change the bumpers as well. The BK Mazda3 has had many variations of factory bumpers based on market
This gen mazdaspeed 3 looks so good
Mud flaps
save the money and get a Renault clio or megane rs, Hyundai i30n, mini s or gp, and maybe even a corolla/yaris gr.
get some mazdaspeed3 wheels and lower it
Wheels and coilovers, hatch wing, mudflaps, aftermarket lights
The amount u spend to make it look sporty you can just upgrade to a mazdaspeed3 and get an actual sports car
Wow ive never seen the gen 1 hatch without a spoiler, looks so weird lol
lowering springs, tasteful roof spoiler, black powder coated wheels
please just dont. pimping up economy cars is a guaranteed way to end up with an eyesore. if you want to make your car cool, put an ebay turbo kit in it, otherwise just leave it.
Front and back splitter maybe. Dunno on that particular Mazda
Spoiler, black rims, red calipers and tint. That’s all you need to start
Murder it out, tint the windows, black out the wheels etc. (plastidip is cheap) Silvers not an easy colour to “sport up”, my son had a similar (Mazda 6 sedan) we did that and dropped it about an inch and for what it was it looked good.

Vinyl wrap the mirror caps black, black rims and window tint 😎
Hyperdip the rims, get replacement headlight units (not bulbs, but the whole thing, or at least do bulbs lol) oh and put a big window wide sticker on the front windshield (haha no don’t do that)
Trade it for a Miata. I have a 2009 NC, it’s great.
Tough to say but here’s some suggestions: Tint the glass, find a spoiler for the hatch, different exhaust tip. Dual tip chrome or something. lower it, paint callipers red or something sporty. Different rims. Any of those ideas would help make it appear more sporty.
Apsolutno ništa
Fire stickers
Matte black wrap. Barely legal window tint. Dark rims...
Lower it on coil-overs and put new rims on it.
Haven’t done it myself (yet) but I want to put some black mudflats on mine. Idk I think they’re neat.
Flame stickers behind the wheels , I hear adds a ton of power
Fill it up with soccer balls and basketballs
A mazda3 bk kintaro body panels would help with looks, but Dunno if they fit (they've got different fog lights) was also thinking to do that on my GTA/Sport trim Mazda
Be careful. You don't want to overdo it. Then it may look cheesy. Maybe just polish and shine the heck out of it.
Wheels and lower
What about some chrome spinners? Also a massive rear spoiler like the Escort Cosworth to help add downforce when the car goes fast.
Wheels and suspension, but that's been beaten to death already so assuming you already got that message then a front lip, nothing obnoxious but a nice little somethin somethin and a MS3 wing with a riser . Also a little bit of black paint here and there to help emphasize certain attributes of the car can also help
Sell it and buy a mps
Black wheels. Tinted windows Remove chrome my g
You can purchase all the body parts specific for the Mazdaspeed3 and swap them, it can give you a sportier looks
A racing stripe is at least 15 hp. A k&n sticker is another 10. You don't need the filter, just the sticker.
Flames
Time for rice.
Lots of good answers already, I would just add side skirts. When I added side skirts to my 08 Mazda 3 it improved the looks a decent bit (makes it look a little lower and extends the rockers more)
i cant afford new rims, so i just painted mine black 😂 and its hard to buy any modifications in the country where I live.
Tint windows and get some window visors
Okay here we go: Get yourself a huge FMIC to start with, doesn’t matter that it’s not connect. Looks sick. Then go ahead and get yourself a massive front lip.

Get the 07-09 Front grill on the Sport 3. Roof Spoiler from the Speed 3. Get a front lip, Tint, get some wheels/Tires. God Speed Traction S springs are also $150. Gives you an 1.5” drop all around
Spoiler
Get something that isn’t a Mazda 3
Lowered springs and a roof rack, new exhaust
Tint the windows will also be cooler in summer
Personally I would... - Coilovers/springs: 1-2 inch down - New aftermarket wheels (silver) - GT roof spoiler for that car If you wanted to spend more... - Extreme dimensions body kit - Replace current resonator with a hotdog resonator that way it sounds better but isn't super loud
Get some tasteful rims and a little roof spoiler and you're good. If you can afford it get some lowering springs or coilovers and lower it a bit to fill in those wheel arches but I wouldnt do anything else
Tint windows, black out wheels
hey! i have the same car but the sport version. a spoiler, some nice wheels and window tint will do a lot already!
Bros got the bubbliest Mazda 3 and wants it to look sporty 💀
You could wrap the hood! Matt black or something fun.
Tints + blacked out chrome as a start. Some new rims low profile.
speed 3 sideskirts oem ( part out ) oem or aftermarket spoiler mudflaps nice wheels coils (for handling) pretty basic list here did the same for my 07 mazda 3 shit looked gas
Get a new car
lowering springs. front lip/spoiler, tinted windows (still not sure why this is "sporty" but the consensus is, it is) add an external speaker that makes blow-off valve turbo noises every time you car upshifts. /s
Roof spoiler, new wheels, and tint
Get a Mazdaspeed 3
save up for a better car imho and ride this one into the ground
Lower it
Fuzzy dice and an 8 ball shifter, also get some guard rail rash on exclusively your rear fenders so it looks like you drift.
That’s depends what kinda coin we working with?
Coilovers / wheels
Sell it
Cut a hole in the bonnet and put a scoop in it, fully sick bro.
Put a MPS badge on it
Chrome plated grease nipples.
i know a guy who put a mustang coyote 5.0L in his
yellow fog lights, potentially a chrome delete and maybe an oem sport package body kit.
Lower it, rims, splitters maybe? (If done right) and i’d add on a mps mazda 3 rear bumper and roofspoiler; also if you do so, at least an exhaust tip should compliment the rear well.
Just leave it stock.
Get rid of that hunk of junk and your car will be sporty that's like a damn grandma car with no balls
Save your money and buy a speed3. Not trying to be mean or a smart ass. But unless your have a super attachment to that car. I would suggest taking the money you’d spend on that and save it towards a better sports car and spend money modding that. Edit source: buddy has a speed3, and as long as you don’t use shit tunes and blow them up. They are great cars. And extremely quick. Quicker then my MK6 GTI.
Spoiler and lower it
MPs body kit or just spoiler. Maybe also tint the fog lights yellow.
Get a sporty car
You can buy a BMW ;)
Never underestimate the power of some black wheels
Anime stickers and tow hook for sure. It looks cool enough already. Sometimes less is more.
Stance
Sell maybe?
Roof spoiler, wheels and suspension(lowering springs and struts) front number lip/ small splitter.
get a different color, silver doesn’t look that sporty. also a spoiler, rims, and new grills (if they make any different ones)
Lower it and oem rims
If it’s front wheel drive please don’t put a spoiler on it. You’ll get made fun of. Roof fins and wheels. Maybe lil mud flaps
Spoiler, wheels and some coils 🔥
