Depends , as i dont have much money , id get small mods. Things like , clear corners , headlight eyebrows , new color bulbs (all the bulbs) etc. Get axialflow shortshifter if u want. Whenever i get a new vehicle my first mod is ALWAYS a new exhaust.

The big three in this order: Suspension | Braking | Power. (You could skip the brake portion on this car.)

Happy Modding!

I would paint it VR and peel the stickers off (pillar panels).

For the type of off roading you do I'd recommend the Rancho Suspension lift kit.

Depends on what you value. For my sports cars I'm 100% performance oriented so anything that has to do with appearance is out and I'm generally very braking and handling oriented.

I've seen that picture before, or at least the same location.

I would sell it and get an Evo, then you can be best friends with IKE.

You can still cruise the board and harrass people because your car out does an 8, and the purchase of the EVO was the best Mod you ever made.

The pillars are just stickers, they peel off easily. See...

I have that spoiler lip, looks good.

The car looks good, why mess with it? Ask the ladies if it looks good. Why try to impress the guys.

What next ?

Handle bar streamers...Racoon tail on the antenna....a playing card on the spokes to make it sound cool...and double wire baskets on the rear....a Bell...would be cool !
BUT leave the black pillar because it blends with the dark windows and doesn't break the lines and make it look like a sedan..and lose the chrome door handles .....theres a method to Mazda's madness...understated is classy...ain't no chrome handles on a Ferrari or Aston Martin.
Leave it alone , it looks fine...just drive it and enjoy it...save your money for gas when it hits $5. a gallon this summer you'll need it !

You can remove your spoiler, but you will have holes in your trunk. A good bodyshop will be able to cover it up.
