New Mazda Ranger owner
I have been watching the forums for awhile now, really love this place and already have a set of RF stickers on order. A little about myself, Im from Nova Scotia Canada. The streets around here are flooded with Ford Rangers so I would be surprised if Im one of the only Nova Scotians on here. Im 20 and my first vehicle is a red 04 Mazda B3000 Dual Sport, 4x2 
. I bought it about a month ago so right now I haven't done any mods yet, but will do some in the near future. If you want to throw any opinions on a first mod that would be awesome.
All I have at the moment is the boring dealer pictures of my truck. Ill take some real ones soon, I know how you guys love pictures lol.

Welcome Adrian! Glad to have another Canadian Mazda owner aboard!
That's a great looking rig!
I can't tell,but do you have the carbon fibre style radio bezel?
If you're looking for any exterior mods, they are severely limited for Mazdas. You can't even get a set of altezza tail lights or clear corners for a Mazda!
However, I'll ***** some of my work out for ya to give you some ideas of what you can do with some paint or just unbolting stuff.
8500k headlights & 2500k fogs
Throw some 31s on it. Even keep your stock 15s. I like the rims you have.
Red out your tails to get rid of that ugly amber.
R-F stickers FTW
Paint your radio bezel and other interior trim.
Gutter guard or mesh grille. DIY Home depot.
And this is the stock beast I started with.
BTW, I also have just over 410 000km on mine.

Thanks Guys, Great to see you have over 400,000kms i've got 72k on mine so its got a few years ahead of it at least 
Also yes my bezel is carbon fibre your painted one looks sweet, may have to do that to mine, match my exterior to
I really want to chrome my front end out, dont know how easy that will be but I love chrome on red.
Oh and the wheels I have are cheap the clear coat is pealing off around the air valve after a few weeks of driving in canadian weather, so maybe a nice set of summer wheels and keep these for winter. I'll put some better snow tires of them of coarse.

Welcome, fellow Mazda owner!
Like CrazyMikey said, do the taillight paint mod, as I am about to do that.
Also, a RECON Line of Fire LED light bar for under the tailgate, and a LED 3rd brake light are nice touches to the truck.
Some mods I've done for ideas for you...
Westin bar, mesh grill which has since been taken out. Oh, and a shocker sticker.
LED 3rd brake light, and Line Of Fire....You can also see my Gibson Dual Exhaust.

Mike, I got it on Ebay....any F-250/350 3rd brake light of certain years (I forget)will work.....also the Ranger 3rd brake lights as they are all the same.
www.modbargains.com has the RECON version....mine is like some Japenese/Chinese knockoff, IMO it looks better than the Recon.

I'm pretty sure that forum would be full of crickets lol.
You want an all Mazda forum go to www.mazdabscene.com. But that's mostly the old ones.
