Hey all thanks for checking out my page. Obviously the car is a 2007 Mazdaspeed3 or as I like to refer to it as my "Mad Racing Kaizenspeed Mazdarati" LOL. Originally this was my daily driver, with just a few mods but as you can see things got a little bit crazy and are still going.


What you see below are the latest pictures after having JMI Motoring (up in Smokey Point, WA) apply a little bit of TLC and install my widebody kit. To my knowledge this is the only Speed3 to have this particular body kit installed. It was made by BRS-Autodesign down in Cali. Leigh (the owner) has done several custom widebodies and I just happened to find him with a google search, lol
I have always liked the widebody look, but never realized all the work that went into having one installed on my car. Let me say it was MAJOR surgery. Jeff Miller and the guys at JMI handled the situation with style though, fabricating new inner fenderwells (all sheet metal) and even making new plastic inner liners as well. You can't tell even up close it's not a factory job. I did throw them a bit of a loop though when I specified I wanted each individual part of the kit to be removable just in case it was damaged so a new one could be fabricated and put in it's place. Again they handled it like a champ.
Finding a body shop with the necessary skills to pull this off was probably the hardest part. The kit sat in a crate in the garage for nearly 2 years until all specifics were figured out and the install was finished. Mad props to ACE at iForged for taking care of the wheels on the car and suggesting the painted lips.


Hard to see in the picture (You get just a tease, lol) but the car has EVERY item GTSPEC makes for the car. When I get her on a lift again I'll snap a few pictures. Professional photos to come soon.


"Baller" 5" Lip, lol just felt like I had to type that out.

Oh Yeah, I love the COBB Front Mount

I had all the IC piping, Intake pipe, and Valve cover anodized or powdercoated "Candy Red". Have to match nail polish you know, lol






As you can tell by my mods, I have mainly focused on the suspension and exterior.
I wanted to say I could in no way have accomplished all this without my "Family" down at "Kaizenspeed" so check them out at kstuned.com or kaizenspeed.com. Reid, Nick, Andy, Alex you all SOOOO ROCK!!!!!!
Finally, let me add this kit was originally made for Brian Fox (foxmarketing.net) by Leigh Guarnieri (brs-autodesign.com). Both have been with me through this entire journey and have put their stamp of approval on the finished product.
