Getting starting on your Mazda6 - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

I made this post for those starting out in mods, I thought this would be a good post to show what most of us modded 6's have done in order. Something a little bit like this. Thought this would be a good sticky for 1st mods and mods in general and where you can find them.

if everyone follow this guideline... then all our 6s would look the same dont u think ? color will stand out but thats about it....

What? Who said that everyone has to find this guideline. This guideline was to show what could be improved in each category and where to get them. Not getting your response

Dude! Most of these cost money! Some cost real money (at least for me).

My first mod was to splice my old sub amp into the bose sub (and still have it that way 4 yrs later).

Next, I gutted the interior of the air box. It took me a lot longer to realize that you could remove the "flapper" as well (0$).

I did tint the windows ($150) and later added aluminum pedals ($15).

My last mod was to paint the calipers ($17 + a lot of time cleaning off 4 yrs of break dust build up) and the JVD caliper stickers ($10). I realize this mod is a little ricey, but black calipers with silver stickers on a silver car was very subtle. I didn't go red or yellow... not that there is anything wrong with that!

I would love to do a lot of the mods that are listed in the first post, but...
