Looks a lot better IMO.

[MSP#735]

Wing for the win

[low_psi]

^ sex dood.

you're the baller, I just try to keep up :)

[CRZbrussian]

i love the wingless look, but the wing does add some hawtness to the car....but w/o a wing the car is damn good looking. the msp wing is one of my favorites that i don't mind cars having

[sanblaster]

Yeah to me that tells me MSP. Without it from a distance, obviously it looks like a regular protege. I know the difference under the hood but that how it catches my eye out on the road. There aren't that many in my area so when I see one I know it. There are however a ton of third gen pros in the area. But whatever, if you like it then do it. I love it on my car.

[MSP#735]

^^ i couldnt say it better myself!

[SeR_Cyclops]

[Blake]

bahahhaa. anyways, this should make everyone wanna sell thier car..or shoot it.!!!!!!!! i've got some primax 16x7 rims coming..anyone know what size stock LX wheels are?

[jmv]

i find that i really only like wingless if the car is lowered. I dunno. Otherwise it just looks like some regular sedan.

[mickeyreategui]

[SeR_Cyclops]

[Wbriggs19061]

shit this has me thinking about going wingless..

[low_psi]

hey low psi, whats your suspension setup?

Just Ground-Control coilovers and O-Shi Motorsports trailing arms at moment.

[Velocifero]

shit this has me thinking about going wingless..
I love it on mine. get a lot of compliments on it too.

[RacerXGirl]

I love it on mine. get a lot of compliments on it too.

(yes) Velocifero's car looks amazing without the wing. Super sleek - very, very elegant & sexy! His going wingless made me seriously consider doing the same to mine!

Thanks! (takes a bow)

[cmahlig]

do you still have stock rims and suspension?

[Velocifero]

do you still have stock rims and suspension?
rims yes, ride height no, I put Falken Factory Tuned springs on, perfect ride height for my tastes, plus I can't really go lower due to my cutout is angled down and only has about 3" of clearance.

[stdntDrvr]

i've been thinking about taking my spoiler off for quite some time...maybe soon ;)

[Velocifero]

do it chris, have it done by Saturday so I can see it!

[stdntDrvr]

haha! i gotta save up for the getting the holes filled in and the trunk painted.

i wish i could get my car to sit how i want it first. the rear tires are tucked and the fronts have about a 1/2" gap...that bugs the shit out of me.

and don't pay someone to fill your holes man. do it yourself. it's SO easy.

I have a set of Tein S Techs if you wanna buy em. Also the stock RBs but they would probably bring you up a little.

[stdntDrvr]

let me think about it...i have something working now...and if it pans out, i'd like to get a set of coilovers...we'll see.

how do you fill the holes?

how much can i expect to spend on having a shop do it all?

i'm not too sure about the shop. but filling holes is totally easy-basically, you put tape on the reverse side, in my case i cut a small piece of cardboard for each side, and taped it on the underside of the trunk(where the holes are, covering them.) then i used body filler and filled the holes. let it dry and paint.touch up paint if you do it good enough. if not, have a body shop paint it. couldn't be too much


but i figure. if a body shop does it. labor, plus matching paint....lotsa cash.

[Brian MP5T]

Better without IMO..

I like the 2003 wing better than the 2003.5

[69RMSP]

Whats holding the wing in place? Does welding need to take place after the wing is removed?

[stdntDrvr]

some people get the holes welded up...

it's just bolted on...they do have some double-sided tape as well.

[boostdprotegelx]

you could do it that way. but, i dunno how to weld. and it came out fine for me.!!!!

[Velocifero]

03.5 is 4 bolts 2 clips plus heavy duty double sided tape. Mine is welded, filled and then resprayed but i have friends in the right places so it was very cheap. Chris he would do yours for probably $50, including the paint, I have to ask him first to make sure, he likes hooking the GACC up, since he is one.

[stdntDrvr]

holy hell, yeah, see what you can find out.

[cmahlig]

hey velocifero, can you send me some pics of your car at various angles. like the side, front angle, back angle. and where can i get a set of falken factory springs

[kudakev615]

holy hell, yeah, see what you can find out.
(group) its good to see member helping out other members on here

i like it. the drop is awesome, i want tucked rears. it is weird though that the front sits a bit higher...:(

overall-great look.

[stdntDrvr]

the f'ed up part is sampson and i put our springs on at the same time...we both have sportlines...and his sits lower in the front and higher in the rear...wtf?

[Pyr0TeK]

Same car... struts... etc?...

[cmahlig]

topher, so you have eibach sportlines? whats size rims and tires do you have. thanks for all the help guys. i went to a shop today to get an estimate on taking the wing off. 550 wow. keep posting pics guys. can yall put your suspension and rim size also

[Pyr0TeK]

Cut my stock MSP springs myself ( I come from a lowrider background (werd) ). 18" Sparco Racing DS-1 wheelz with 40 series Pzero Nero tires.

Maybe a slight chasis difference or strut or something eh? I mean that just doesn't make sense.

[cmahlig]

stock msp rear struts has a higher plate so it actually sits higher than an mp3 would. idk bout the fronts

[Velocifero]

my MSP sit sa little lower in teh rear than the front

[low_psi]

I actually sold my wing for more than I ended up finding a trunk for. The paint is almost a perfect match but for half the price other ayrds wanted, I'm ok with it. The car will someday get resprayed anyways.

Too bad only a few MSPs can take advantage of using salvage trunks.

Not too bad at all... no hair dryer either. Took less than 10 minutes to get them to lay down and mold... I think they look great with my yellow and black bumble bee theme... hhehehehe.
