On Thursday April 15th the Toronto Mazda 3 Club kicked off their weekly ‘AA Thursdays’ meets at Next Mod in Markham.

The last time I had been to Next Mod was the grand opening and I figured that the turnout to that event couldn’t be rivaled by this one but boy was I wrong.

Not only did members from the Toronto Mazda 3 club come out in large numbers but so did people from the 6 club, and jdmrides.ca. It’s a good thing Next Mod has lots of parking.

Store shots

Since it was a little cold the store was packed most of the time but I did manage to get a shot of Next Mods new signage and a shipment of Rays wheels.

Nothing must be more satisfying than having the name of your company on a building like this

Genuine Rays wheels in the showroom

Non Mazda 3′s

Even though this meet was most heavily advertised on the Mazda 3 forums, whenever there is a car meet in our area it’s expected and welcomed that other people come crash it.

Nice looking EK hatch

Spenser aka KnightX came out in his clean orange EG

I love is300s and this one on VIP wheels was no different

The Next Mod IS350 is super clean

Green rims have been gaining a lot of popularity around here lately

Yellow FD crashing that party

Perfect stance on this TL

This Voltex 350z attracted a lot of attention

The Amuse GT1 kit is a bit much for me but it was nice to see it in person

Mazda 5′s and 6′s

There were quite a few of these guys out but since I forgot my tripod and where they were parked was kind of dark I wasn’t able to get too many shots of these guys, sorry dudes.

Marlon at OMGPancakes will love this one

Nice oem styled dropped six

Row of sixes

The Ladies of Toronto Mazda3

Unlike most other car clubs I have been a part of the Mazda 3 women are just as active on the boards and at the meets

Crystal just got her new wheels on and a lip and drop are coming soon

RX-8s are a great looking oem rim, this car also has purple angel eyes

One of two girls in the club rocking oem BBS wheels from another manufacturer

These STI BBS wheels look downright amazing on the 3

Mazda3 Sedans

This sedan was rocking black on red...

...while this car was doing red on black

While hard to see this car was wearing a set of wheels I had never seen on a 3 before

Quite a few tm3 members have picked up cf hoods this year

Along with the side skirt extensions

The first two cars in this lineup are ever changing

Ryan had an interesting set of decals, silverish white at first glance

But then reflective silver under the right light

This member moved from a first gen to a second and is already knee deep in mods

He's actually using two sets of springs to achieve this stance

Hatches

White is probably the most popular color on the board.

Black on white

White on black

White on white

It's really hard to expose the color of these rims but they are a nice gloss brown

This is a beautiful color

This speed3 owner is all about the track days and rocks custom powder coated Rays wheels

The polished lips look great on these RPF-1 reps

This second gen his happy to be dropped

I’m not a really big self hype kind of guy I would rather toss over the accolades to someone else and let my work continue to be the platform to showcase the work of others. So that being said here is a collection of exceptional photos of my girlfriends first foray into automotive photography using my ride as the test mule.

Lyndsey did an excellent job of choosing great locations for all of these photos all I had to do was wash my car, show up, and park.

For those of you viewing from out of town (or even out of country) all of these shots were taken at Exhibition Place in Toronto with the backdrops spied out by Lyndsey’s creative eye.

If you want to head out and use this venue for photos of your own security is really light on days when there are no events.

The architecture around the Ex is pretty rad
