Well I was saving up for a nice down payment for a mazdaspeed 3 or Mazda 3 H/B but after alot of thought I decided I am gonna keep my protege until she is completely paid off . So for me to do that she needs to get some work done to make her look like she should again.
Some history : I bought the car brand new in Dec of 03 with no intentions to mod her at all . Then came the tuner bug, which bite me hard. First i bought a indash tv/dvd player , then the buddy club 2 bodykit and i thought i was done . But again I was wrong . I got a great deal on ebay for a set of 17 inch white rims and a meagan racing exhaust system and a aem ram air intake .Then i bought the imitation mp3 wing and a body shop totally fuked up my trunk . so i sold the wing and bought a carbon fiber hood and trunk and some black 17 inch rims. well after 2 yrs of her being my daily driver the damn paint on the body kit is peeling right off. the place that did the paint did a horrible job . its all flacking off now so she looks like s*** and i hate it .the body kit has some stress cracks which need fixing. So here i am today .
I have like a 1k saved up and more coming with income tax stimulus which should arrive in may . So i have till then to come up with the other 1500 for paint . the body shop told me he would paint my car for 3k if i change the color or 2200 if i repaint her white. Well i love how c/f looks on the blue msp's so i am thinking about painting her Blue or Orange bc i also like spicy msp's as well . The body shop guy said his favorite color is orange so he would love to paint her orange but i am leaning towards the blue color .
I sold the Aem intake,Black 17's . So once she is in for paint i am gonna be picking up some black 18 inch rims to flow with the cars new apperance .
I just thought iwould went a little bit about my experiances and the future of the pro2ge. Here are some pix of the progression of the car.
