The option as shows it's face too late, a cut lip is a lip cut. :)

[mx-p5]

yeah... i realize that now. lol

Still option for mines!

[xDJ DUBx]

Heck yeah, that'll be sweet.

[mx-p5]

I'll prob be installing this set in her car next week.

Then, when the blue lip shows, i'll pick up another set for mine

red 99 pro.. what kind of headlights/corners u got goin on there.. i love the black and red themes.

[red95_240sx]

the black combo on ebay.

[99ProtegeKV]

they fit good, and work right and all that? u like em?

[red95_240sx]

yeap. just the glue shows aroudn the edges of the corners and makes it look gaudy, i just painted them black around the edges. I dont know if they shine the light as wide, or either ive just messed up the adjustment which i hadnt fixed yet since i went back to halogen.

that lip and the wing make that car 1000x nicer.

[norwood1026]

I haven't posted any pictures of my ride yet so here it is! (cabpatch)

It's all stock the windows have been tinted & there is a JVC head unit in it.

It set me back $3,000 but the car is SO clean I have to get it painted but I want to keep it the same color. The clearcoat is coming off mostly on the hood. It needs minor things like tires & I'm sure it's going to need brakes soon. The car has 95,000 original miles on it & the body is very solid & so is the inside.

Sorry I don't know why but only two of the pictures will blow up...

[norwood1026]

Here is more of the inside.

[99ProtegeKV]

welcome to ur new addiction.

[norwood1026]

welcome to ur new addiction.

I blame those people who stared these fourms. It's all their fault! :D



I want to bulit my own version of a MazdaSpeed minus the turbo. I'm hoping to get close to 175ish WHP I know without adding a turbo, it's more costly but I'm willing to deal with it besides with my limited knowledge with working on cars. I think it will be the better route.

there's one site that has the lip but its like $300 on there, and i would say to anyone thinking of paying 300 for that to fuck it and go MSP swap, i shit i only paid $80 for my lip, $200 for my spoiler and like $150 for my side-skirts

Yeah I'm going to do my reseach before I go off on a buying spree.

[red95_240sx]

I was thinking about one of these front splitters that come across the whole width of the front bumper like one of these http://image.eurotuner.com/f/8404315/eurp_0712_15_z+fireballed_2005_mini_cooper_s+orici ari_cowl_vents_carbon_front_splitter_oe_aero_side_ skirts_water_to_air_intercooler.jpg , made for a car of the same bumper width. I cant really tell if they run parallel to the ground, or if they wud really serve as a lip that wud give me less ground clearance, which is what im looking for with my high front bumper.

Im not a big fan of the rods that hold it in place, but i think some short short ones like 2inches long close to the sides of the bumper as possible would be MUCH more acceptable. If i cud really find one the way i want it, i wud consider getting one. do any of you think its too much of a touge/track part to put on my car?

HOLYCRAPOMG. (eekdance) That looks damned good. I never noticed the non-P5 front end had such a sharp crease all the way around. It really flows well with the rest of the car...

EDIT: (Which, I'm sure, is what the designers intended...)

[J_Naoto]

(thumb) those projector fogs look really good!

[red95_240sx]

yea wow Pro5x2, maybe fog lights do serve some use, to see potholes rather than at the last moment.

[boostdprotegelx]

yeah pro, you could pretty much drive with your running lights, and fog lights on. lol. looks awesome.

[mx-p5]

at the moment, the fogs won't QUITE do it.

I gotta relocate the powersteering coolant line. It's blocking me from aiming them any further up

Took Callie for a ride with the new lights and she's stoked to get her set installed now

Sweet! Thanks man, I've never really seen a car go one inch up so I was very unsure if going from a 15" 195/50 to a 16" 205/45 would be a big difference.

[Tedster]

K so I have a green 01 Protege, and want do to some outer appearance mods...

First, are there clear front blinkers for our cars? I dont want the amber anymore.
Next, i wanna get some bright PIAA bulbs for the front and maybe the fogs.
Then I wanna get some LED sidemarkers.
Maybe a mesh grill in the front instead of the black plastic... not sure about this one, what you guys think? Too ricey?
Then some clear euro tailights for the back... but I think they are pretty expensive. So i may just get some bright LED bulbs for the back.
Then Im thinking of getting a strut bar for the front.

What else?? Thanks.

[Dparks7]

i have a mesh grill look on page 323 its sprayed black

[mckernan]

wow haha,
i never see any of these rollin on the streets.
mine looks like crap compared to all of yours'.

i got a stock sunlight silver lx 2.0 with the front bumper hanging because of a cracked bolt hole. and an MSP grill which isn't an exact fit, leaving noticable gaps. oh and dont forget the hubcaps!

[mckernan]

Not all ebay protege stuff should be bought.

it was because i had planned on swapping for the msp front end since the bumper is scrapped anyways. although i haven't gotten the funds to do it yet.

[xDJ DUBx]

I assure you, that grille would probably fit just as bad on my bumper as it does on yours. It's a knock off DG grille from ebay, they never fit right but thats the loss of quality due to low price.

The real deal fits damn near perfect.

wow that looks amazing, but what did you pay?
i would say that i did get ripped off, but i paid damn near 100$ for that piece of shit. anyways, i still have the stock.

[mckernan]

Maybe a mesh grill in the front instead of the black plastic... not sure about this one, what you guys think? Too ricey?



nothing is to ricey if you think it looks good, as long as you don't think you add hp from the grill your fine. i see people in shitty as civics all the time reving their engines like they got 200+hp because they got a fire decal and some hubcap spinners.

not to mention enough downforce to ground a boeing 747 at top speed

[xDJ DUBx]

The fiberglass piece is a lot cheaper, 190, my cf grill cost me 260 if I remember correctly.

-Pm sent on the clear corners.
-PIAA bulbs are ok but really, if you're trying to increase your light at night, an HID kit is a must. DDMtuning.com has them for under a 100 bucks with lifetime warranty.
-I had LED side markers, they make the front very sleek at night.
-If you're going to get a grille, I suggest only a DG Motorsports grille, all else looks like crap IMO outside of the OEM grille.
-If you're worried about ricing out, DO NOT get euro tail lights. Those things are so played out it's not funny. To each is their own though.
-LED brake lights, even when you get the most expensive kind, don't light up the tail light as good as the halogen bulbs the tail light was designed off of, stay with the regular halogen bulbs.

[mckernan]

If you're worried about ricing out, DO NOT get euro tail lights. Those things are so played out it's not funny.

ohhhh cheap shot, that's what i got.
accept mine are smoked(loser)

[xDJ DUBx]

haha, wasn't trying to say your car was rice. They look half way decent since they're smoked but I just hate those tail lights on any car, even the IS300.

[mckernan]

lol
see my original plan on things was to do everything at the same time, so there would be a complete make over.

but i got to the rice side slightly when i started to use disposable cash on small things instead of waiting for big things to be done.

looks like shit right now i know because it's almost the same thing as painting only 1 wall in a room and can't afford the paint for the other 3

...you're not the only one that has made some mistakes by "cheaping" out if you will

[mckernan]

thankfully i didn't make the mistake of buying the BC-2 kit.
thought about it, reviewed and threw it out.
it looks pretty but i've heard nothing but complaints about how thin and cheaply made it is.

its on sale for only 350$ for the complete kit a grounddynamics.....
anyways, its my first car so i knew it would happen.

[xDJ DUBx]

Yeah, I lost about 1800 with the BC-2 with paint, install, repairs and shit. I think it is a very attractive kit but is made VERY poorly, just like any body kit.

Yeah, mine is my first car too. It's cool though cause now I know my next car will not have so many stupid mods and have so much money wasted.

[mckernan]

same here.
which is why ill buy a car which needs no mods to be sexy as hell.

FYI huge JDM import lot in my city, '94 3rd gen RX-7's with right side drive for just 8000$!!!!! had i known that when i bought the pro. not that i don't like it,
it's just not 250hp and sexy as the devil must be.

Yeah, I lost about 1800 with the BC-2 with paint, install, repairs and shit. I think it is a very attractive kit but is made VERY poorly, just like any body kit.

Yeah, mine is my first car too. It's cool though cause now I know my next car will not have so many stupid mods and have so much money wasted.

I love my BC2 kit, except we had problems with fitment, that still aren't perfect. Cracked my left skirt on a curb too. Lots of scraping on the front too, lol. None of it is visible which is nice.

who's building your motor? when're you turboing?

[D-rock240]

Nobody until the market gets better, I had ignored my funds level after the crash and got a rude awakening when I was going to buy the MP3. All of my plans are in limbo until Legg Mason starts making money again :(
I still need to order the piston and rods, but eventually I will have a local shop do the machining.

holy christ ariana.. where the hell have you been?? the car looks awesome....

and btw.. which turbo setup you going with?? ...if you haven't bought one.. hit me up. i have a SWEET setup.

[ariana]

I've been driving a big suv lol. Really my car has just been sitting. My husband wrecked it a while back and it took a while to get it right again. The first guy who tried to fix it totally screwed it up. I had it in storage for quite a while. My husband bought a 350z for track, but I'm pretty sure he's going to want to drive it all the time, so I'm going to work on the mazda. Don't want to buy a kit, but it's all new to me. So recommendations would be great.
