All New 2017 Mazda 3

[travajante]

My right side mirror cap suffered a scratch (caps is the black portion of the side mirror right? not the actual mirror or sensors). Are there any shops selling replacement? Are there any remedies aside replacement? How much would you think it would take to fix it? Thanks

damage is a little deep imo..

Fill & repaint or wrap....shouldn't be much, sir.

This cover perhaps, sir? No repairs needed.

Guys, is the tail light pattern of this new model really just looks like two generic red lights on the side? I thought it would still be the ring + eyebrow look.

The 2.0s are the browed ones. Yes, they look great, but aren't you fine not paying for stuff only people behind you can see? Hehe. I find this a blessing. When those LEDs go, replacement won't be hobo.[emoji17]

Here's one compelling reason for me for ditching my initial plan of buying the 2018 Subaru XV: it requires premium gas (93 octane or higher).

With Mazda's SkyActiv engine, the regular petrol is enough.

Yeah I don't mind so much. I just wanted to be sure there was nothing irregular with my unit. Such a shame though it looks like exactly the same assembly? Is there a plug and play upgrade available? (For future reference)

Afaik, led lights can last for at least a decade. Of course that depends on the quality of the led light, usage, etc.

The OE LEDs won't be plugNplay for our 1.5 hobos, your option will be to go Chinese aftermarket. Like these '18 BN headlamps.....

On rears, sedan is more common, I've yet to see the hatch equivalent.
Oh, don't expect OE reliability w/ these.
