Search Results for ‘chips’

I’m new to Mazda and can only do basic maintenance on most other vehicles. The other day while climbing out of the car I clipped something with my foot. After a quick search I found a wire with a chip and a light in the end of it the slide off. I was wondering what this thing does and how do I...

Hello everyone! Just to let my first gen 3's know about my experience regarding these reverse lights. In summary I do not reccomend/like these for multiple reasons. These are too long for our housings, they fit but they hit the plastic. During the day they look horrible but at night they...

I have a 2008 Mazda 3, I noticed the other night while driving behind my wife my tailight was out. I remembered Arathol reccomended these lights so I ordered them and gave them a shot. Before and after shots, the install you could say was easy but was a bit difficult to get back into the...

Has anyone bought any performance chips? If so could you reply with a review on how it is for the Gen 3’s? Really interested in getting one but don’t know what to get.

My commute is virtually all highway (about 35 miles each way), so having some paint chips on the hood is not s surprise. What is a surprise to me is that some of the chips are beginning to show rust near their edges. I have a 2016 3 sedan; my 2004 Pontiac Vibe also had its share of chips, but...

Hey all. I just recently got a '14 M3 sGT Soul Red. Within the last 2-3 weeks, I have already noticed 2 chips in the paint that go down to a white base/metal so they show pretty easily. 1 is by the front passenger door handle and 1 is why the driver side front wheel. I am assuming they are from...

What is the best touch up paint for paint chips and clear coat scratches? How best to repair clear coat scratches?

We've had our Soul Red 3SGT for about 3.5 months now. I've noticed a massive amount of chips on the hood-one nearly the size of an eraser head. Anyone else notice excessive chipping? The car has 6000 miles on it and I've had cars with 100k+ with far less chips. Very odd.

Washed and waxed the car this morning and found inevitable paint chips mostly around the front bumper area but minor few on the hood, roof, and on the A-pillars. No more new car feeling... Used tooth pick to apply touch up paint on the bumper but for other areas, applied few more coats of wax...

Hi, I just bought a used 2010 Mazda 3 S a few weeks ago.:clap: First post here, though I've been lurking a lot looking at mods. The previous owner had acquired a few rock chips (from driving on the highway frequently, I'm guessing). A couple of them are rusted as you can see in the pictures...

Hey everyone, I have two really small paint chips on my car that are already starting to rust. The one on the roof is bubbling the paint around it and the one near the passenger rear door is basically all the way to the metal. Roof Door What can I do? I want to take it to Mazda but I...
