Like the title says. I found this as an alternative to the MP3/MSP engine cover. Plus it brings the hardware unlike mine that I had to purchase the brackets and screws seperately from DGM in order to install my MP3 cover. This one looks nice too

He actually has quite a few cool Protege items. Too bad his shipping is outrageous.
I'd buy that engine cover, but not for $80 shipping plus base cost. Same with the 323 taillights, awesome, but pricey.

Well I bought mine cover for like 45 shipped and the brackets from DGM cost me another 54 bucks shipped :( can you believe that more than the cover itself. But I needed them to install. All together close to 100. If I new about this one I would have taken it ASAP and skipped the headache of searching and waiting to get the brackets in.
His are not bad plus it comes with everything you need to install. Also you can make him an offer for like 4-5 bucks and you'll get it for 84-85 bucks. All in all not bad for a new cover not used like mine. Good guy too can't wait to get my door sills in :)

Yeh, if you check his stuff, he has lots of JDM stuff for our cars. Makes sence, since that's normal stuff where he is.

Does this just screw ontop of the old engine cover or does it require taking out the spark plug wires or something.

It just screws on. Plus I have another seller that sells the brackest for 35 shipped half the price that DG sells them for. If interested let me know

As soon as I get the pair I ordered in for my friend I will take some so you can take a look. But the price alone should make you want them. They are 35 shipped.

I don't cvaare how muc hthey are!

^^ When you think of it the price is not bad at all. They are so cool but remember they don't come with the harness but could easily be wired to fold. I would just set them up with a car alarm, set the alarm mirrors fold in, turn it off, back they go.

Folding when they're off is kinda gay. I don't care about that but if they were the e-spec heated mirrors that would be ultimate! Even though I never drive my car in the winter, some mornings in the spring and fall can get to be a little chilly and having heated mirrors would be pimp. The harness is there for the heated option (comes on with rear def) but the tickers I dunno. Would be easy enough to do I would think if you have an '03 becauseyou could tap into the fender tickers, but then again with those why would you need the mirror ones? That's why I want the mirror ones cause I don't have any parklights anything visible from the side and it would be nice to have the signals.

Sorry to do this, but someone bought the engine cover I was looking at before I could. I won't need the brackets at this point unless I find another cover.

Ok guys here are the shipped prices. Fed Ex is the cheapest to use. USPS and UPS were outrageous with their quotes. So FedEx was the cheapest charging a typical 13-15 to Canada and 8-10 in the US. So let me know by this upcoming Saturday. Also please add the 3% PayPal fee thanks guys.
US (48 state)= $35 shipped 1 Set
Canada= $45 shipped 1 Set
US (48 States)= 55 shipped 2 Sets
Canada= 65 shipped 2 Sets
US (48 States)=75 shipped 3 Sets
Canada=85 shipped 3 Sets
So far this is the list.
1. Shasta (1 set)
2. Perma (3 sets) (depending shipping charges)
3. ???

Sorry dudes already sold the 2 I had to local guys. I will try to get another one going it's just that the response I got was not to favorable. The distributor was expecting more than just 6 sets to be ordered so now I would need to get at least 10 sets ordered next time aorund to get the same prices. Well I will give it a shot one more time in Jan but it needs to get up to that magical number 10.

Ok... I know I wanted a set when this all started and then I went low on "mula"... but now I got the "mula" and want these "pronto"
(Good spanglish there)
Don't know if I can wait till January.... I might blow the cash away "again"
