7 Accessory Ideas For Your New Mazda 3
The Mazda 3 pairs sporty driving dynamics with practicality, affordability, and reliability. A well-balanced package for the money, the Mazda 3, along with its bigger sibling the Mazda 6, has been a fan favorite with the enthusiast crowd. For several years, Mazda even offered a high-performance Mazdaspeed 3 to compete with juggernauts such as the Honda Civic Si and Volkswagen Golf GTI.
Its affordable price and playful demeanor have earned the Mazda 3 a following over the years. There has been a plentiful aftermarket with an array of products, both aesthetic and performance related, for the car. To help get you started with your Mazda 3 build, we’ve compiled a list of 7 stylish accessories that will make your Mazda 3 both look and play the part.
Chrome Blackout
A simple and easy DIY upgrade for your Mazda 3 is blacking out all the chrome trim. Chrome was a staple on cars a few decades ago but now, it’s no longer to everyone’s liking. Doing a simple chrome delete gives the car a sportier, more aggressive look and helps it stand apart from other Mazda 3s.
All-Fit Rim Trim™
The sound of your wheels scraping against the curb is nothing but painful. To see how much damage has been done is even harder. Your wheels deserve protection, whether they’re stock or aftermarket. That’s what All-Fit Rim Trim™ is all about.
The All-Fit Rim Trim™ is a protective rubber strip that goes around the edge of the wheel. They are available in a variety of colors, and not only protect your wheels, but also enhance the visual appeal of your car.
Rear Spoilers
Spoilers are a great upgrade to spice up the appearance of your car. In addition to improving the aesthetics, adding a spoiler helps improve your car’s braking ability. The additional downward force increases traction at speed, which results in better braking. There are a variety of different types of spoilers available for different budgets. For additional performance, look into a pedestal spoiler. Otherwise, a subtle lip spoiler will be easy on the eyes and the pocketbook.
All-Fit Lip Kit
Lowering your Mazda 3 gives it a much more aggressive look. Lowering your car helps its driving dynamics and its appearance. But it does come at a cost: damage to your bumper. That’s where our All-Fit Lip Kit comes in. With the All-Fit Lip Kit, you can protect your bumper and side skirts from curbs and speed bumps. Rigid lips are often more prone to damage and are often more expensive. Durable and flexible material makes the All-Fit Lip Kit very difficult to tear or rip. This is an easy-to-install part that gives your car a more aggressive appearance. Read more about lips for the Mazda 3 here.
Window Tint
Tinting your windows serves a couple of purposes. Tint keeps light out of your car and keeps the interior of your car cooler. Aesthetically, it cleans up the look of the exterior of your car and eliminates the fishbowl appearance. Additionally, the reduction of light and heat in the interior helps protect your car’s trim and upholstery.
Just like they affect our skin, UV rays can be damaging to the materials in your car’s interior. Before you tint your windows, check and see if your state has limits on how the tint can be.
All-Weather Floor Mats
One of the most simple accessories you can get for your car is a set of all-weather floor mats. Carpeted floor mats do a good job of protecting your car’s carpet however they can be difficult to clean and get battered over time. All-weather floor mats are great for their functional use and for maintenance. They are exceptionally easy to clean and last significantly longer than carpeted floor mats.
All-Fit Gap Trim
If you’re trying to liven up the driving dynamics of your Mazda 3, you’re likely looking at lowering the suspension and installing performance tires. Those upgrades will have you smiling ear to ear when you are going around the twisty mountain and canyon roads. However, over rough roads, they will definitely impact ride quality. The stiffer ride leads to rattles in the interior components over time. All-Fit Gap Trim is the perfect solution. It is a slim rubber strip, available in a variety of colors, that will not only add style to your interior but also help reduce rattles.
