mazdaspeed protege
yesterday i did a makeover to the protege!! here are some pics. the evo spoiler is goin back on at the end of this week! i repainted the hood pretty simular to befor but striped it a different path and a bigger mazdaspeed lettering to show the carbon fiber below! the gemeni hood had the shittyest clear i have ever seen! i pretty much had to sand all the clear off the hood for it to looks good when reclearcoated! i recleared my tcs carbon mirrors too, and painted the top of my trunk to run the same line as my smoked tailights and cleared the whole thing. and recleard the top of my evo spoiler. i had a custom mazdaspeed sticker made thats gonna go accros the whole span of the evo spoiiler! enough rambling now for the pics!!! sorry for the kinda crappy cell pics!!

isport carbon fiber roof coming soon too!(alright)
 
man i wish my paint matched like yours
i repainted my bumper and holy s*** the color is off, to me at least
but midnight blue is such a weird color, purple/blue

im going to repaint the whole car a diff color and i wanted to know, what brand paint do you use? I use dupont and results have been ok
 
i use spies hecker, wich is a sister company with dupont but i love it! i used transtar euro clear for the clearcoat and it layed out slick as glass! and the rear isnt finished yet! it gets a spoiler!
 
Really looks good dan, love the way it comes together.
Cannot wait to see it with the wing on .
Did you paint the trunk molding where the key goes also
or is that a custom piece !!!!!
 
Sweet!! I like the two-tone carbon fiber theme you've got going on. Take some more pictures ...
 
thanks guys, its just a stock trunk piece from a regular 22v protege, i traded my crackin carbon fiber one for it!
 
honestly john i love the way ur car looks wingless, u really have come a long way since the first meets i came too, its really turning out to be a really nice protege! but my car just doesnt look right without the wing!~
 
You're making my car blush. (lol2)

Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing your roofcap in action...
 
man i love that paint job. i'm pretty new on here and i'm young and don't know much about cars but that looks tight. i have a silver one just like yours and i'd love to get a paint job like that. thanks for the ideas!

good job sir!
