The 1999-2000 Protege Pic thread

[99 Pro]

Jon2000 - what kind of rims are you using for your winters? 14"?

Also, where did you get your clear corners and headlights from?

Looks really good by the way!

those r the OEM wheels painted black, and there is a set of black headlights and corner lights on ebay.

Jon - I'm pretty sure I've said it before but I'll say it again - you're car is GORGEOUS ! I'm kicking myself for not taking more time with my air dam. I was trying to get everything done for a show though. (Ended up missing the deadline by 4 hours too )

Thanks for all the great feedback!

The black headlights were a DIY job. The black corners were from eBay. red99pro is correct - the stock 15" rims were powder coated gloss black.

I thought the stockers were only 14"? Maybe the ES models of 99/00 Proteges were 15"?

The ES models of the 99-00 Protege's were 15" in order to fit the larger brakes over the LX/DX models... I really like them powdercoated too... I might do mine in gunmetal. (2thumbs)

Right now I have my stock alloys covered in winter rubber (which I need to get on soon since State College is already getting snow), but might switch to R-Compound AutoX tires for next summer since this is the last season on the Michelins.

I love Proteges, and that is the first time Ive seen another Protege with those head/corner lights. Well at least im the only one with them in central florida with them. hoping to get some HIDs soon to make them look better. ill post some pics soon but mine isnt as clean as ur, rearended a jeep with a tow hitch so the hood and bumper are black (sad2)

 

[redrims]

I had those on my protege too. The blacked out lights fit so well together.

 

[00protegeracer]

hell yea, the only bad thing is that if u get the headlights, u have to get the corners, or vice versa, cuz otherwise it looks funny

 

[chicohond@91]

I PERSONALLY DIDNT THINK MINE LOOK THAT BAD WITHOUT THE BLACKHOUSEDC CORNERS..

 

[ProtegeMatt]

A new pic of mine. Yea i know it needs lowering (smash)

 

[FlyinHawaiian]

W00t! Chaste White (PT) FTW!!!!!!!

Hey, you should lower it... Want to buy my MP3 springs I have sitting here?

 

[00protegeracer]

hell yea get it lowered, just got my 00 lowered and it looks sooo much better. i can barely fit 2 fingers between the tire and fender, love it
