Looks good dude. Love white. When are you getting the front end and side skirts painted & are you getting a new rear end put on to even out the side skirt. Also have you thought about pulling the door trim off?

Thanx man, shes coming along. Paint time is unknown at the moment. I'm trying to get the 03.5 rear lip so the back will line up with the rest before I paint it. I've thought about it but I'm undecided at the moment.


Lookin good...I like the drop!

I love it too man. I was in a Macdonald's parking lot the other day and ran over a sideways medium size drink that was already half flat and it still caught onto the car. haha. Its crazy but I don't scrape so its all good.


Looks good man... you may also want to remove the Christmas lights from the house ... SINCE IT IS JUNE! (dunno) (just busting your balls man... hehe.)

haha I know man, its this thing with my g-ma. We put them up x-mas of 04 or 05 and they haven't been down since. Shes weird.


Slap on that BC2 rear, and call it a day.

haha, with that drop? you're crazy son. The bc2 rear would be a half inch off the floor, literally. I'm just waiting to find a 03.5 lip for the back then I'll be good.

I WISH MINE WAS WHITE SOMETIMES....

[Sk8ter05]

heres an up to date picture of my car. just washed it a minute ago. oh yea, forgot to let the board know that i have some blingin rims on now haha... i surely need to paint it one of these days.

http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e212/tomcomtemporary/WASHED.jpg

[xDJ DUBx]

Nice proty, that is one clean ride.

[Sk8ter05]

thank you very much for the compliment.

[red95_240sx]

find the rims u photoshopped in ur sig.

[Sk8ter05]

i had those but i sold them. by the way the color of the rims on my sig was photoshopped and the drop too. my recent picture was only touched up a bit on photoshopped and wasn't cut and messed around with. haha... anyways, i sold my Hyperblack 5zigen rims for 440 bucks plus the guy who bought the rims gave me those chromed out ms racing rims for free. woohoo. plus tires on the ms racing rims were very good tires compared to what was on my zigen rims. i didn't do much in persuading him to do the deal, he insist on that deal. anyways, i might paint the chrome rims to black with a little red on the outside, bronze or gold. hmmmm what do you guys suggest?

Because of the racy style, they cud stay chrome, but i think that the lip is too big for blk n red...all black and paint ur brakes

[xDJ DUBx]

All I know is you need a lip in the back like me =/

[mazdaspeed777]

All I know is you need a lip in the back like me =/

Did you get those sideskirts on yet? I don't remember if I told you yet but I got the ones you sent me, they look amazing. Just waiting on the money to get the paint for them.

[Sk8ter05]

are you trying to say that my car looks racy to you? anyways, i don't think i mentioned it in the board but my rear lip got stolen when i went out of town. i don't understand why anyone would want my dam protege lip for. i could understand people taking my front lip since its for a 94-97 integra but my rear lip? what they heck. anyways, i haven't replaced the rear lip cause i don't think its necessary. my car may look weird but its not like i will die if i don't get it replaced.

[red95_240sx]

no the rims are a racing style, there for there not bad being crhome. it was probly someone on here who stole ur lip.(peep)

[Sk8ter05]

i thought you meant my car is racey? i was gonna go off on someone haha...anyways, i to believe the rims are racey thats why i want to paint them. its okay looking rims but heavy as a muther f*ck3r haha... and about the rear lip, probably someone from here did take it. just kidding, i doubt it cause i haven't seen any proteges' in the city Merced.

[xDJ DUBx]

Did you get those sideskirts on yet? I don't remember if I told you yet but I got the ones you sent me, they look amazing. Just waiting on the money to get the paint for them.

Yeah man, I primed them and did a simple install, when I take the car to get painted I'll have them drill the correct holes and all that. No man you didn't tell me but I had been keeping an eye on the tracking number so I knew when they arrived. Glad your happy with the trade as am I. Here is the most recent pic with the skirts...

Wow, a lot for my eyes to handle...

Don't really care for the style but if your happy with it, thats all good. There has been a lot of body work put into that and it looks like it was done right, ver custom and unique, so I'll give you props on that.

-----Side Note-----

ANYBODY know of ANY 03.5 REAR LIPS for sale? I so desperately need one.

[D-rock240]

Yes, they are. Some people here have sunk a lot of money into their cars. I have been fortunate that I don't pay for most of the labor, so I have only sunk $4k of my actual money (soon to be 5 or 6) into mods for my car as of now. With labor, it would be $10k or more :(

got my car for 1 grand

stereo equipment and viper alarms totaled 1 grand

exhaust was 500

to fix and repaint some body damage was about 1 grand

the rest of the $1500 could be contributed to the rest of my mods (all used)..intake, header, rims, pulleys were new, motor mounts...thats all i can think of.

[red95_240sx]

car was 1grand? how many miles???

sad to say were worth about 1500 to some damn insurance company

[Not Jo3L]

105xxx give or take a thousand...found at an impound lot as a stolen vehicle.

[D-rock240]

helluva deal. I'm trying to find another pro for a DD and you can't find something that new in good shape for less than 3k.

I did notice that the value of my car on kbb has gone up a couple grand from the last time I checked, I guess ppl are not overlooking pros anymore and are starting to realize that there is something to a nice handling car that gets good gas mileage.

Just the proteges are going up or all of them p5s and msp?

[D-rock240]

The pro5's have risen a lot (more appealing to the public I guess) and mine jumped almost $2k but I didn't check on the speeds. I'm sure other 4 cylinders are showing a similar jump with gas prices.

LOL. Good point, but I bet they would never know.

It's still highly unethical though.

[D-rock240]

If you hadn't posted about it......j/k

I was lucky and the cluster I got was around 500 miles off mine. And I won't be selling the car anyways.

[jeg0024]

They might never know.... but you better hope they don't see that post. People can get sued for that type of stuff. There is a section on the title to explain why the mileage isn't right when you are selling the car, as long as you do that you will be ok. It's not really wrong to change the mileage, its wrong to sell it without telling the person buying it that the mileage is wrong. Just keep the car till it dies and you don't have to worry about anything lol.

well out of all this i got a new trunk and a newer protege emblem
the only thing that doesnt work is the trunk latch, i guess he didnt connect it right or something

Check the trunk after it rains, there has been a few issues of water in the the trunk with proteges that have been hit in the back that hard.


Now somebody post some pix!

haha, you sound sad about it.

Alright guys on a side note...

For all of you that have a msp/p5 front bumper and put fog deletes in without the 03.5 lip, is there two different sizes of fog deletes?

I just bought some deletes and was totally excited to finally fill those holes but they are way too small and I think I need the 03.5 front lip to make them fit but I've never heard anyone ever say there was a set for the lip and a set for one without a lip but I've seen pics where they fit those holes perfect.

Is my theory true of why I just bought a part I didn't need?

[killermatt]

ya I've been having some very very minor water leaks in my trunk. but fixed it with ductape :D, also, any one have a clue as to how much i can get for my 03 pro lx? its (dun dun dun) salvage but i had some guy work on it for $2000 (same price i got it for) but now its in "good" condition as of kbb w/o the title, any thoughts? i got some guy wanting to sell his blue msp for only $8000 and my dad will pitch in.

Ohh so thats why his car looks familiar lol

and Eric..Its actually two different sticker. The (I <3 My) was purchased on ebay from a vendor who was supposed to put mazda or any word at the end of the sentence. Online you will see them as (I <3 My Custom) and you tell them the custom word. Well long story short...the guy never gave me a refund or a response so i gave him the first negative feedback he ever received. The (Mazda) part is a less durable sticker that was custom made at a printing shop.

i have them. i haven't heard shit from them if you keep the same colored bulbs as you're supposed to... cops normally don't say shit.

to answer you're question. they're illegal. but.. nothing's illegal if you don't get caught..

[sumguy44]

are the bulbs that come with the headlights legal?

[xDJ DUBx]

Well in most states if not all, the cornor light/turn signal must be yellow.

So if you get those head lights and want to stay legal, you'll probably have to buy a set of yellow turn signals cuz the stock headlights have the yellow cover so the bulbs themselves are actually clear.

I've had my headlights "illegal" since oct of last year and I've never gotten shit...

Thanks yooo! Im thinking of getting new rims... now that its lowered, the current rims look weird. I saw these other 15" in Bronze, but Im not sure how it'd look on my pro... I want to stay 15" for sure though, just don't know design and color

[Sk8ter05]

IMO i would go with atleast 16's. 15's are too small for me. but car looks good with the drop and the front,side, and rear lip.

No worries guys i have the dg lip which should have been put on when i got the car painted but it got scratched so I spoke with my bodyshop guy and it should be going on this weekend .

I couldnt agree with you more about the lip comment tho , thats why I already thought about it haha .

Yes sir...we cut off the resonator and reversed the pipe and added a stock cat.

We put those on when we installed the turbo kit and the exhaust.

Thanks, they are custom Acura TL projectors colour modded with 3" BMW ZKW lens. Sharp cut off with a lot of colour :) no more blinding glare!

[xDJ DUBx]

They look amazing.

How much did it run you for parts and everything?

[the_jaf]

Pretty expensive project if you don't do it yourself, $200 for bulbs, balasts, bixenon harness, then depending on what kind of projector you want, i got the Acura TL projectors for about $200, then the ZKW lens for another $80, another $100-$140 for a second set of headlights, plus if you go through a retrofitter whatever cut they want for labour plus shipping back and forth can easily get over $1,000.

[red95_240sx]

thats alot for some headlights

[the_jaf]

If you can do it yourself and use your existing housings you can save at least half the cost than go to a retrofitter.

No I don't do retrofits, I had mine sent out to someone to work on.
