Ive decided im going to stick with my 3 as long as sticks with me. My knowledge of cars is next to none. But i have some friends that know their stuff that can help me out in the installation and modification of things.

So im asking all you 08 mazda 3 owners, are there any modifications that you found were worth the time, money and effort? I was talking to someone about getting some sway bars installed. Do you think it would be worth it? What about other modifications?

Car Specs i can think of:
08 Mazda 3 i Touring
2 liter engine
Basic stock CD player (not the 6-cd changer... i cant even use the PAUSE button...)
I bought it 2 years ago at about 25k miles. it now has over 75k miles. (im on the road a lot for work)
My bumper-to-bumper full warranty ends at 100k miles.
The type of driver i am, i like to have fun with it, but i dont get too crazy. the occasional drift around a corner is fun, but i worry about being too hard on my car so i dont do it often.

Any questions feel free to ask! Thanks for your help!

 

heated mirrors, and upgrade the horn

 

Some people do put on Hella horns! (not me). Dukes of Hazzard horn is a good option.
Your car is not a racer, however handling could be improved with suspension upgrades. Nice tires and rims are always nice.

 

new rims probably would add a lot to the car. i know it did on my parents 04 mustang.

the side strips are peeling off on my driver side so i think im going to remove those entirely.
