My 2003 Mazda6 - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

Quick_Nick · 10-18-2009, 12:29 AM

Hey I'm Nick, and i am new to this forum for the most part, been lurking for a while tho. Regardless, I bought a 2003 Mazda6S this summer and i jsut got around to posting it. I bought the car local for 6 grand (which is great considering the book value), and it has a few customizations that i could do without ... but for the price I can complain. I just bought a few things for it from RPM STORE. 1st thing to change is the hood and grille, also getting smoked side reflectors. Let me know what you think guys ...

Love it but I have to agree... get rid of the hood and especially that chrome petrol cap *shudder* Otherwise, I like what he did with the debadging at the back. Looks pretty good.

Is it manual or auto?

Quick_Nick · 10-18-2009, 12:49 AM

it's auto sadly ... it's my 1st car, and a lot of the driving is going to be in the city. I do want to try out the triptronic shifting ... any ideas on some other simple mods? ... into the spring (after my car has been dericed) i'm thinking about throwing on some stock mazda rx8 rims ... saw some good results with that

Hood and gas cap can always be repainted. As for the badge, be careful, the Atenza badge is where the OEM Mazda symbol used to be and behind that has two holes for the emblem, unless of course the prior owner patched it up with body work.

Please keep that in mind or have the trunk emblem handy lol.

Welcome to board, and in NY? Which part? Might want to put your local in your profile if you want.

Quick_Nick · 10-20-2009, 10:33 AM

Thx for the advice with the Badge, i might just leave it for now. but yeah the hood and gascap are going to be done within this month or the next ... whenever the parts come in from RPM. by the way i'm from queens NY, I did add it to my profile.

If you wanna dump the gas cap let me know I've been toying with the idea of a chrome for a while.

Quick_Nick · 10-22-2009, 07:46 PM

deff man, ill let u know ... might get it painted ... don't know yet, taking things one step at a time with this car.

I have a satin chrome (less shine) gas cap that I took off my car, but one of the bolts are missing.

The car looks really nice, how many miles?
