I get this question a lot "Where did you get that front lip?". Here's the How-To I wrote for it.
I have done all the work on my car myself (except for the window tint).
Engine;
When I was running the FS-DE; 115whp 110lbs of torque on a Mustang Dyno
AEM air intake, wrapped Spooled^Racing header, Corksport Power Series header-back exhaust w/ Magnaflow catylitic converter, Corksport Urethane exhaust hangers, MP3 ECU, VTCS removal, light Port/Polish intake mani, NGK long-reach plugs, AWR front/rear motor mount, Mazdaspeed 710 cap, HDD 4500k HID headlights, black valve cover, DIY oil catch can,
Now the KL; 168.9whp / 160lbs of torque on a Dynojet
2.5liter JDM KL"DE" (Mazda Xedos9 engine), JDM Mazda MX-6 5speed tranns, AWR motor mounts (all 4), custom air intake with K&N filter, wrapped OBX headers, Outlaw Engineering IM and TB spacers, knife edged intake manifold and hourglassed throttle body butterfly, ClutchMasters stage 1 clutch, Aasco lightweight flywheel, USDM KL47 ECU and MAF, tranny saver brace, MSP axles, MX-6 radiator, SPAL 12" and 10" slim puller fans, semi-gloss painted engine bay.
Suspension/wheels;
Rays Gram Lights 57D 18" with 225/40-18 Yokahama ParadaSpec2 tires, ASA Revolution 17" wheels and 215/40-17 Yokahama ParadaSpec2 tires (daily driving), Enkei RPF1 17" wheels and 215/45-17 Nitto NT-01 tires (track wheels), OEM 16" painted orange w/ 205/55-16 Bridgestone Blizaks (winter wheels), BC Racing coilovers, Progress 22mm rear sway bar, CorkSport front/rear strut bars, Hawk HPS brake pads all around, Brembo blank brake rotors, StopTech SS brakelines, Wilwood racing brake fluid, black Gorilla locking lug nuts
Exterior;
DGM CF hood, rear spoiler and side mirror covers, Blacked out headlights and badges, DDM Tuning HID's (35watt 4.5k), JDM tails, Tint (35% front 15% rear), OEM fog deletes, rear wiper delete, eBay shorty antenea, JDM Familia Sport20 rear badge and side decals, eBay front license plate bracket, painted OEM grille strip silver, bumper hole plugs
Interior;
Sparco steering wheel, AEM wideband and Prosport oil pressure gauge, Kartboy short shifter, CorkSport shifter bushings, TWM weighted shift knob, DaveB rings, Mitsubishi Evo8 Recaro seats, Alpine CDA-9805 headunit w/ iPod cable in glovebox, Alpine Type-S speakers all around, Infinity powered 100watt 10" sub, white LED map lights and dome light, Whistler radar/laser detector, gutted rear seats and seat belts.
I bought my 2002 P5 in October 2007 from Cascade Mazda/Porsche/Subaru dealership for $9500 with 85k miles on her. I was looking for a car I could fit my acoustic upright bass and gear in but something that was still a little sporty. I've owned 3 Honda Civics and I've done all the work on those myself as well. (no rice, not to worry) but I kept telling myself I would keep this car stock... riiiiiiiiiiiiight.
So her I am and what I have to fit into my car. It's a big girl... So my options of vehicles are rather limited and I didn't really want to buy an SUV. I was looking at Honda Accords and even a Honda Element but I've always really liked Protege5's and wanted to stick with a Japanese car. But I'm still very happy with my P5. By the way, I'm 6-1" so these instruments are not small... heh-heh
