I'm thinking of maybe adding some accessories to my s sport. Anyone have any of these & opinions on them? 17" alloy (stock wheels-oem) side sills (would it look funny by itself or do you need another molding?) splash guards auto dim mirror (w/regular lighting, sunlight, night, etc, is it a little darker than a reg rear view?). |

Replying to: mazdrvr (Feb 05, 2007 3:58 am) When I replaced my AT 3 with a MT3, it had the auto dim mirror on it. It looks completely normal, but is a little thicker than a regular mirror and has a compass. At night, the dimming is most welcome. I never used the dim switch on a normal mirror, as it made it too dark. The auto dim mirror makes it just slightly dim, and can adjust according to the brightness of the head lights behind you. So, in summation, no, it is not darker but will dim when needed, and I would order it on any other vehicle I own if it is available, but it is not enough of an option to make me not buy a car that does not offer it. I love the stock 17" wheels that come on my s Touring 5 door, but I don't know if I would buy them as an after market add on. I thought that all s models came with side sills. Could you link to what you are referring too?

Personally, I would wait until I've worn down the current tires (that may take a year or two) before investing in new tires and wheels. side sills Do you mean the side skirts found on the hatchback? Do you want these added to the sedan? Or do you mean window treatments (yech)? |

Replying to: claudius753 (Feb 05, 2007 11:24 pm) I'm kinda kicking my a** for not getting the S Touring but I didn't like the 2 the dealership had in the gray ( I didn't a moonroof!). I have the S Sport (07'); the Touring & Grand Touring have the 17" wheels & side sills. |

Replying to: autonomous (Feb 06, 2007 9:31 am) side sills-the side skirts added to the sedan (the touring & gt have it). Oh goodness not the window treatments! :x Wondering though if it will look stupid w/ 16" alloys... |

I've read the Duratec 3.0L engine contains plastic/composite parts, such as an intake manifold. Is this also true of the Duratec 2.3L engine?
