MSP03.5-i like the yellow overlays, it was different. wasn't a fan of the canards, but looks good.

[nate0123]

yay for non-urine headlights (yippy)

now there are fewer things that clash on your car :)

[Protegelx]

Hey MSP03.5 i like the spoiler u have on the pic that says team underground wich spoiler is that and where can i find it.

[mickeyreategui]

^^^it's the msp 03.5 spolier that came on the car

[msp03.5]

Hey MSP03.5 i like the spoiler u have on the pic that says team underground wich spoiler is that and where can i find it.
what Micky said and I am pretty sure you can get it at protegegarage.
thanks everyone. the main reason the covers came off is I am getting some HIDs soon and was tired of the yellow headlights. they were fun for a while but I really want some 8000k HIDs. The canards might find there way back on I can't stand seeing the holes they left behind. Wish I would have never put them on, oh well.

[red95_240sx]

Yellow heads wastn bad, but now it looks more normal.

[njaremka]

Hey MSP03.5 i like the spoiler u have on the pic that says team underground wich spoiler is that and where can i find it.

what they said.... stock MSP spoiler. i can get you one if you want, just send me a PM with your zip / postal code, and i'll get you the details.

[Protegelx]

ok thanks guys i just thought it was another kind of spoiler from what i saw in the pic. And the pics for the upgrades. theyll keep coming.

Speed;3278803']thx...any tips on how i should get my sidemarkers amber?


Go to a hobby store and get some Krylon stained glass spray paint in orange. Thats what I did for my side markers and turn signals on the tails.

[D-rock240]

I bought some MP3 sidemarkers here from a user for 15$ shipped. That way I can switch back if I want to.

[NoVa 2.0]

D-Rock, u should get the msp 03.5 spolier to complete your build?

[Sk8ter05]

yea, D-Rock, you should get the 03.5 spoiler. well, thats my opinion....anyways, i bought a 03.5 spoiler for $120. i have to go pick it up this week. oh yea, sorry if this is a bit off topic but where can i buy car paint? i only need enough paint to paint my spoiler that i bought

[red95_240sx]

O reilly can order it for you.

[Sk8ter05]

huh?

[red95_240sx]

O reilly's auto parts.

[Sk8ter05]

ohh...how much do their spoilers run? do you have a link to their parts i can check out?

[njaremka]

first you fo from asking about paint, and now you want to know how much tthe spoilers are? you're starting to confuse me

[Sk8ter05]

no i mean i already bought the spoiler and i need to find out where to get the paint but i was just wondering how much they charge for their spoilers thats all....sorry for the confusion.

[red95_240sx]

HAHA@Spoilers at O reilly's. Its like an autozone store, we are junking up the thread.

[joka1]

Please keep this thread on topic with pictures relating to your 3rd gen: TY and have a great day

[D-rock240]

yea, D-Rock, you should get the 03.5 spoiler. well, thats my opinion....

I will be getting one, just enjoying the wingless look for now. I also want to get the suspension installed first. I agree that the 03.5 wing looks nice :)

[mazdaspeedemon2]

idropped off the 03.5 msp spoiler to day at the paint shop they said that it should be done by thursday and hopfully i can get it installed this weekend

[jeg0024]

I want the MP3 wing, to complete my look:) Only thing is the 03.5 wing wont require differnt holes in the trunk than I already have so I may be going that route.

i was my car like once a week. would tha paint come off when im washing my car?

[msp03.5]

Speed;3280987']i was my car like once a week. would tha paint come off when im washing my car?


I wash my car all the time and have not had any problems the paint will fade a lil so you will have to add a couplle more coats later on but its not a big deal. I have only added coats to me side markers once since I painted them and have not had to do it to my tails yet. But if you don't want to go that route you can see if anyone on here is selling some orange side markers or who want to trade for your clears.

mickeyreategui (http://www.msprotege.com/forum/member.php?u=20141), i really like your car but IMO, you should really remove the mickey on the hood ;)

[Protege2886]

Mickey - I love the back of your car. Have you had any trouble yet with the police and your rear lights ? It's hard to tell whether you can really see them all that well from far away during the day.

[mickeyreategui]

thanks!!! no trouble yet, but only had them on for a week, so we will see. you can see them from a far well during the day.

[red95_240sx]

[nate0123]

http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/4368/dsc03057kl9.jpg

[Sk8ter05]

nice nice job mickey. i am starting to really like your ride....nice job with the front lip and the rear end...kool...keep it up...it seems you always have something new up your sleeves.

[mickeyreategui]

^^thanks!!

red--i used rockblocker smoked overlays on the tail lights

nate--yeah they are peeling, i put them on myself, did the best job i could. going to see how law enforcement likes them and if they do then i will get some more and have a window tinter do it for me.

[daonly1around]

[msprotege2nr]

Love it! I think you're one of the few people that is able to pull off the tinted tails look with your trunk painted like that. Looks great!

[msprotege2nr]

I just saw that. i wonder why it hasnt sold yet. What r u trying to buy next?

Thats a thick as girl in that pic too.

ya she's nice... she's my wallpaper at work. I'm not sure why the car hasn't sold... maybe it's because of the cost. It should be gone this time though, especially since the auction made it past the reserve price.

I used that stuff (hardware stores usually carry it). Won't ruin your paint, just make sure you wax it afterward. Works pretty good. Not to mention that I still use the can to take stickers off plates, etc...

[D-rock240]

I actually like the side moldings for some reason.

If they are body color it would be better, but the black ones on DX's just make the car look cheaper IMO.

The bodyshop pulled mine off while I was standing there, and then removed the residual glue with no problem on the finish. That was when the car was 3 years old.

[daonly1around]

finished up my five lug four wheel disk swap this morning guys, let me know what you think

[D-rock240]

Sexy! MSP rims are hot, that may be my next project too :)

[daonly1around]

the five lug swap is not hard AT ALL... as long as you have EVERYTHING b4 you start. Knowing what i know now, i could do it in about 6 hrs working straight through with proper tools, esp if i had a lift.

[D-rock240]

If all goes well I will have a P5 donor car towed to my friends shop for a week, so I can just pull the parts off and then do it all on a Saturday.

[red95_240sx]

MSP wheels on white is nice and rare...Tuck your antenna in a lil bit.(thumb)

[daonly1around]

here's my next couple of projects

[D-rock240]

I'll take that part underneath the lip please ;)

[323]

im a fan of black on bronze/gold, but i think it looks straight the way it is.

[chicohond@91]

[Chicoloco]

ty :D

D-rock, get the 03.5 msp wing!

[daonly1around]

don't get the wing, shave the trunk and stay wingless, an get some wheels that have a nice lip on it.

[boostdprotegelx]

Very Nice!(thumb)

Seeing Chico's car makes me feel more and more like a "copy cat" :( But I guess its not too bad since we live in different countries, lol.

Chris

[jomoyo069]

chico nice ride.. only thing im really not sure about is the hood scoop? location.

i was in PR last month it is full of mirages everywhere you look..
i was in Israel last week.. it's full of mazda 323's (protege's) everywhere

[Chicoloco]

Mirages here are never ending lool. Hood scoop was inteded to be there ;-) Strange i've only seen proteges from PR with that scoop. IMO They are similar to the wing west ones. Maybe they were inspired from them.

Hey Shift, take it from me, if you see something that you like, just do it :P Possibly someone has done it before, but hey, this IS a protege forum, among other mazdas. (burnout)

[JoseProte83]

those scoops are sold here only i think. Have never saw a US car with them....

[scuzzer99]

those scoops are sold here only i think. Have never saw a US car with them....

the wings west protege has one on it

[JoseProte83]

the wings west protege has one on it

that's what i tough.. Tnks for the clarify ...

[D-rock240]

Looks good D-rock, now it just needs a wing lol. Thanks man, I've been thinking about that for a while. I think a wing would loose the sleek look I'm going for.


ty :D

D-rock, get the 03.5 msp wing! I wanted to for a while, not sure if I want to get it now.


don't get the wing, shave the trunk and stay wingless, an get some wheels that have a nice lip on it.

I was thinking of that actually, I'm trying to get a 5 lug swap done so I get get some new wheels (MP3 or MSP Racing Harts, maybe even some Work wheels). The next time I have to go to the bodyshop (when I get new mirrors) I was going to have them shave the trunk.

[Mazda_rida]

Yes Shave It!!!!

I put on the corksport power series exhaust last night and am VERY happy. It sounds deep and is pretty dang loud which is what i wanted. Next to come is the sport 20 kit, i will have it next friday!

[NoVa 2.0]

The Corksport is a beast, i've loved mine since the 1st day i put it on. In the beginning it sounds a bit loud, but you get use to it. LOL Nice color BTW (first)

[Jester236]

Yeah, i've noticed there aren't too many emerald greens here. Oh well, first sport 20 emerald green? I dunno but it'd be cool.

[Sk8ter05]

woohoo....more and more people are getting the sport20 kit......

[Jester236]

Actually im doing the sport 20 bumper, ms side skirts, and the 03.5 rear skirt. And prolly after that add the front air dam onto the sport 20 bumper. really looking forward to the conversion. Just have the rear skirt left to buy then its off to paint. After that lowering springs, buy my other racing seat (one's sitting in my room lol) and then (drum roll)......custom turbo kit.

nice looking p5 seldomseenmp5 however it sits way to low for my taste or well at least for a DD. That front bumper would be gone in no time.. my speed bumps would eat that thing alive! However itdoes look good that low.

[seldomseenmp5]

I have air ride dude... thats just how it sits at my house... with those 18s its damn near impossible to drive that low... i had to raise the car an inch and the wheel wells are still setting on the tires lol... My car is more for looks not speed you know?

ah ok that makes sence. I didn't even think to look at your mod list.

thats a good looking p5. my buddy back in va had the same color p5 on bags and that was whatg got me into them. got any pics of the tank set up?

[seldomseenmp5]

lol thanks man... its taken a LONG TIME for me to get there lol just a lil over 3 or 4 yrs... Im working on the interior now... but with the buddy club kit I can raise the car up about a inch above stock dude and the bumper is still a lil lower then stock... if you drop your car Id watch out man... and fiberglass is a nightmare also... I had to rebuild a lot of it before I painted it...


Damn just answered my question. Wow.

[sanblaster]

Yeah I will never ever do chrome and fiberglass ever again. The chrome is peeling and my fiberglass is cracking all over the damn place.

[seldomseenmp5]

yeah I run nitrogen dude... hold on a couple mins I have a some one half assed pic... excuse the inside I just got done painting it last week and I have the inside all ripped apart to get painted... and I fell in love with the p5s from the start... lol I had the third one bagged after chassis tech did the two yellow ones in low rider magazine... the sponsored me to put the product out there lol...

Seldom I did a half ass sig for you because your sig is huge bro. Modify this or you get the idea. Again nice ride:

[seldomseenmp5]

I heard that man... I was getting mad with the body kit dude... I had to build out about half an inch just for it to match up well with the fenders... the back bumper wasnt bad but it still had cracks i had to cut out and refiberglass... in other words its a pain in the a$$... but even the wings west side skirts were pretty much rough... I got p*ssed withem and just primed the heck out of them and painted them... the double sided tape on them wouldnt stick for sh*t so I ended up using windshield urethane on them... theyre permanent LOL


Yeah I will never ever do chrome and fiberglass ever again. The chrome is peeling and my fiberglass is cracking all over the damn place.

So if you use nitrogen, how often do you have to refill that tank? Also what did you have to do to make the drop all the way down? Did you get the true airbags, or did you get air struts or air cylinders (shocks). Me myself this is the only way I would lower any car...but it just cost to much and I dont have the space for all the components. Nice ride though. Do you know if the kit that you have would fit a msp?

[sanblaster]

Try this mang:

[sanblaster]

Driver X, were you ever a member of clubpro. Think I remember your pro. And yes the buddyclub will fit a msp.

[seldomseenmp5]

I used Chassis Tech's Air Strut system and got the F.B.S.S. pretty much all it is is a regular coil over type strut but instead of a coil spring theres an airbag... and its a simple install pretty much I cant remember if we had to really use anything besides some nuts and bolts... from what we took off... but all we did was pull out all of the bumpstops and stuff which is fine as long as your not riding aired out on a bumpy road... and yeah the front struts should be the same but I believe the rear is different not to sure but they make the kit all they do is order the struts and weld the bags and all that good stuff in... and I refill the bottle anywhere between once a month to twice a week... depends how much i play with it lol...

I got the BC2 kit for the sedan and I love it. Front bumper didn't fit great, and rear bumper wasn't perfect, but its close. Otherwise, I love it.

[seldomseenmp5]

not mine... I had to build out the wheel wells and edges of the front bumper about a half inch or so and refiberglass cracks... a majority of the front bumper was straight but still all the the other work was a pain... the rear bumper was better but still I had to cut out areas and refiberglass them... my fenders I had to damn near lay filler on half the fenders and straightening them out... nice car by the way man... what kind of hood you have?
