that does look clean, the only thing i'd do to it would be to take off the front emblum, it'll look 10x cleaner. MS paint chop yO:

They don't come with mouldings. At least mine doesn't have them. Jonn - do the fog lights annoy you? The more I look at mine, the more I want to take them out. |

It's not that hard to take off, actually. Doesn't take more than 10 minutes, from my recollection. You'll need to take it off anyway when you do the retro. :D
|
I like it.
|
its clean
|
Eyelids have to go. And I'm not such a big fan of that colour for some reason.

Ive seen regular Protege Sedans do the P5/MP3 front bumper conversion. |

Looking at that pic again, it may not be an MSP - the lip is different. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...gen/speed1.jpg |
I know MSP's didnt have the fogs, to my knowledge the only ones that had the fogs were the MP5 and MP3 right?
The yellow one I originally posted could be either a regular sedan with the MP5/MP3 front with boost or just a MSP with the MP5/MP3 front. Im not sure which though.. The lip on the yellow one is the Autoexe Lip, I know this for a fact because Im putting one on the P5 today. :D |
^oh is that the lip you got?

Wow, and here I thought you weren't going to mod the P5 ... :D
|
^ LOL I didnt think I would, but it was like driving an SUV everyday..it pisses me off!!
At least now I can actually say I "somewhat" like driving it. Im on the hunt for the Autoexe grill and some Mazda 6 or 5 Oem wheels. :D |
:yeah:
|
:yeah:
|
hey john, do we need to drop the bumper for that?

You might as well drop the bumper so you can paint the fogs. :D

I'll say it again BHG. Look for the RX-8 rims!

RX-8 Rims are way too big. The ride quality is probably shite on those rubberband tires. Plus its gonna slow the car down quite a bit, its already a dog on the highway as it is. It fills up the wheel wells nicely though. I love the look of it. |
This guy at my work has one just like that in black. With the front lip on it, looks mint he has 18" stock mazda wheels not sure from which model. His is turbo'd supposedly real fast. Looks mint, i should get him to swing by a meet sometime.
|
I've seen that car before - it's the RX-8 wheels. They're way to big for that car, though. The tires are literally rubber bands. I think his set-up is a tuned MSP set-up, but I can't recall.
|
it looks good for a protege. y r ppl hating?
