Just bought a new car on May 23, 2008. It's a 2008 Mazdaspeed 3 and it's pretty damn fast! More torque than the Z, nearly as much horsepower, and LESS weight!

Some pics to start it out:

2/25/09 after putting on the 25mm wheel spacers to make the wheels flush with the fender. There is no tucking at all they are completely flush, see page 3 for the closeups if you are looking to put spacers on your MS3 and want to see how flush they would be. Keep in mind you will have to bend/roll your inner rear fender in if you get 25mm spacers, if you get 15mm spacers they will still rub as well but only slightly and may be able to get away without needing to roll the rears:

New pics from 11/2/08 after just lowering the car with dropzone springs and only 5mm spacers:

New pics 7/23/08 after adding the Mazdaspeed side skirts to the front lip, all I need is a rear lip or rear add-ons when they are available:
