The Black Mica Thread

[MTV]

I figured since there's a Sunlight Silver thread going on right now, let's make a Black Mica one! Contrary to what the silver P5 owners think, WE are the fastest color.

Post the best pic of your black Protegé and let's get this thread started!

My car exactly.

The picture I posted above was taken before I blacked out the headlights.

I smoked the tails as well. The only chrome you'll see is my lug nuts and the "Flying M Logo" in the center of my rims!!

[nummertwente]

Anybody have a Black Mica with MSP wheels?

Always liked those wheels, but I'm curious how it looks on black. Going for that or mesh hyper black ASA's :)

Thanks!
Springs are Eibachs -30mm, I don't know wich Eibach, 'cos I bought them from a local Mazda dealer on a original mazda part number. Struts are original.

Grille is from ebay.

[mx-p5]

you've pretty much got EXACTLY what my sister is looking to do to her car down, minus Angel eyes in teh headlights and black'd out tails.

Very very nice ride sir!!

Also, welcome to the boards!!!!

[alexcited]

Rockin, what's your name?

and i think it's time to paint them headlights black.

[Rockin03mp5]

Rockin, what's your name?

and i think it's time to paint them headlights black.

I dont divulge that info ;)

And i would paint, but i am chicken, and lazy.

[Rockin03mp5]

I would love to also...

lower the car
get new wheels
get a rb catback
repaint

but i gots no extra moneys

i also want to tint my tails, but leave the reverse lights clear

and i want to get clear side markers

yeah, in time, if she is around that long.

[roy obanion]

Yeah, no polished wheels=need black headlights

I too am curious of your name

[mx-p5]

easy as pie for the tinting.

Go get a can of spray tint, mask off the reverse light, and spray em,

while you're at it, tint the side markers too for a stealth look

[Rockin03mp5]

I am too chicken to spray tint.

I like to be able to reverse, and my painting abilities are crap.

and i like the clear accents on black, thats why i want your clear side markers, cause that orange sticks out.

[mx-p5]

oh, hmm..how much? i'm tempted to spray tint my stockers rather than the clears

[Rockin03mp5]

um, hmm

how much u askin?

what would be included?

i have the yellow bulbs already, just cant find an easy, cheap clear lense

[mx-p5]

i think i paid $20 or 25 shipped for em.

they aren't the prettiest things in the world. But they look better than the orange.

i'll get some pics for you later tonight if ya want

[roy obanion]

tinted stocks would look better...

[alexcited]

i need to blackhouse my headlights too, but ive got smoked side markers coming in the mail soon. I'm also too chicken to blackout my headlights

[mx-p5]

just spreading the word, i'l lbe selling my black'd headlights hopefully in a few weeks, as soon as my new ones are finished

[alexcited]

damnit! im spending enough money as is right now! smoked corners, fog laminates, crappy ebay shift knob and rims! guuuuuhhhh i want those headlights tho...

[mx-p5]

i've been thinking on a small proposal.

You've got a PM coming your way

[roy obanion]

ugh being that i haz a chip, i could actually use them

[rooster1]

less talk more pix :)

[mx-p5]

Flash, i can't remember if i asked you before or not, but, what fogs are those? Or is it just a cover over the stockers?

[Flash5]

Flash, i can't remember if i asked you before or not, but, what fogs are those? Or is it just a cover over the stockers?

they are the yellow catz fogs and covers that i bought for them. i got the covers off of the same guy i got the lights off of. the yellow stuck out too much with my black and red theme so i got the covers to tone it down. i actually just cracked one of them yesterday and im not too happy about that because i dont think anyone else sells them but this guy and he isnt selling them anymore :(
