Found out my wheels are now shipping out TODAY! Finally, woohoo!!!! First SGM RR with 705's on it, will post pics once they are on.

Technically, this is still FOR my truck and I haven't done anything TO it yet, but kinda same thing since once installed, it'll become a TO thing, so just a technicality for now.

We love ours, had a CX-9 which we "downgraded" from to a CX-50 since we got the Raptor, that's now our "family traveling car" where prior the Raptor the 9 filled the "everything family" role.

I had a MX-5 M-edition back in college, so that was my first Mazda (old school, eternal flame symbol before they had the "M" most people are familiar with now days). Awesome little car for its time, but I love the little 3 carbon.

I've gotten up to 44.5 mpg with that, makes 191 hp, which isn't massive, but it's lightweight and has a nice little pull to it for a non-turbo 4 cylinder. Chassis tuning is absolutely stellar and class leading, and I personally really dig the new gen aesthetics, I think they look as good or better than other brands.

By only gripes are with the stupid piano black center console plastic and the non-premium seat material. Piano black looks great when new, within a month it scratches like crazy and looks like crap. Seats got some surface scuffing, no physical damage, but the outer layer scuffed off in a few places from an EDC belt that's rigid.

Comfort wise, seats are very comfy and well fitted, maybe not as fitted as the Raptors, but they aren't designed to hold you in place for off-roading either. Overall, love the dynamics of the 50 and 3 for daily drivers.

BTW the Turbo 3 is as fast as the RR stock vs. stock. Both run 14.1 quarters, although the Raptor is a bit faster 0-60, the Turbo 3 makes it up on the back half being 2k lbs lighter lol. Mine's just the 2.5L NA though.

Mine is na also.

The other thing the mazda has going for it is the top speed limiter is 133mph. The 3 does it amd am 05 mazda6 we had bought our youngest son did 133 and dropped skowed past that.

We found out in the 3 driving to colorado and following a line of cars that were flying and then bringing the 6 home from colorado, tried it out to see where the cut off was.

I looked at upgrading to the new gen3, like yours. It was a grey carbon, too but the carbon didnt have anything our touring was missing so no point


And i found out the front pieces bolt to my car. All the mounts are the same because some guy is doing his on a mazda forum

Actually DONE to my truck…. Washed and drove it. This week, a dash mat, ronin valve, screen protector and carbonized gray touch up paint got delivered. The touch up paint is to color match some “christmas tree” push in plugs that will go in place of the rivets used to attach the front license plate holder. I’ll be ordering weathertech vent shades today. I hate it when water drips inside my door when I roll down my side windows.

Builtright Molle panels and bulk head accessory rack installed on the RR.

Removed the front license plate holder. NM doesn’t issue front license plates. I can’t believe that Ford doesn’t have factory mounts for the plate holder. Mine was “installed” with two large head aluminum rivets.

I drilled out the rivets and removed the license plate holder. I bought a matching color paint pen and painted the heads of two panel push retainers, then pushed the retainers into the holes left by the rivets. Less than ideal, but it looks fairly decent for what it is I suppose.

Only had mine for 2 weeks. Put on some OEM mud flaps with the raised black Ford emblem and a set of GoRhino slim running boards. Spray liner later this week and then will install the Go Rhino tonneau cover. It’s a good start.

my beaver step keeps people off my bumper. I have had quite a few people hit it and damage their vehicles in parking lots.
