Crap, i cant get on AIM...I'd rather have some day light to shoot with so it may not be today. Im on 59 and Gessner right now and will be at my friend's house in Sugarland shortly. Going to the Dallas meet? I'm sure I can get neat rolling shots etc.

Uh this looks great. As for drop, depending on the road conditions you could do the following, get 16 or 17 inch rims, more like 16 with thinker rubber like 205/50/16 - what i am running currently. This while still providing lots of stickum for handling, fills those wheel gaps very well. I have that setup on my P5 and my friend has it on his protege ES. Yours should look even better since you have ground effects that my friend does not have....

in this picture i attached he is running Racing Beat (bought directly from them, but should be similar to MSP) and 205/50/16. As you can see almost no wheel gap is visible

you need a LX wing on there. ;) have you even made an effort to find out what happened or am I gonna have to get a different buyer.
 
hey, just wondering. What kind of grille did you put in the place of the fog lights? Is that a custom piece? or is it factory? I got the 03.5 lip on mine right now, and i sold the fogs, but i was thinking perhaps down the road, i might switch to an autoexe replica lip, but i don't want the fogs still yet.

Lookin phat!!! Are those lower foglight grills the JDM ones? Do they just fit into the bumper, or is alot of modification required?

EDIT: I thought all we could get in canada were the grills that fit the MSP lips?

thanks dood. :D

you can get those grills from your local dealer. they were a little over $85CDN. as for installation, you just have to remove the front bumper to screw them in. no biggie. 20 min. tops.
