Hey everyone, just bought my wife a 99 protege. I'm more used to working on my Jeep and her old Ford Escort (ewwww) so I joined to find out what you guys/girls are doing to your protege's, and maybe even meet some cool people. :)

Her Protege.

Welcome! There is plenty of useful information on here and don't be afraid to use the search function.

What is your wifes car dropped on, and what kind of rims are those?

looks like a LX to me, congrats on the new ride :D

this car is definitely a major step up from the Escort ;) :D

the wing's fine with me as long as your wife doesn't mind it.

welcome!

I didn't even notice the wing when I first looked at the pic. Not a fan of those wings.....that should go in my opinion. But other than that, nice car.
