Mazda Protege Owner Photos

Skunk2 and Neuspeed stickers on it...


Gonna have to keep an eye on this thread when more people see it. I have a feeling comments will be flying...
 
yes i know its confusing. but its just part of the sponsorship i recieved. the good thing it was all free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Its the stickers that puts it over the top for me. Windshield banner isnt needed. I'm sure people can figure out from the front and rear badges that its a Mazda. Do you have anything Mazdaspeed on your car? How about Tein? Do you atleast have Tein Springs. AEM I am guessing is the air filter if anything. What do you have from skunk2? Their coilover sleeves for the P5 or maybe a Protege5 axle back modded to fit the sedan? Neuspeed....is this a honda or VW? Amsoil, ok ill give you the benefit of the doubt about maybe using Amsoil except on a stock 1.8 or 1.6 I doubt its reasonable to use it. Have you driven your car at Laguna Seca if not then why have a sticker like that. I'm guessing you have an Injen Intake so ok.

The point im making is even if they are "sponsors" it can be dont more tastefully than that. And usually when a company sponsors a car its because that car features a piece they make for that car not just because the person writes to them asking for stickers. I think it would look pretty decent if the stickers and vinyl were gone. Although I am Not a fan of the BC2 kit.
 
Its ok I got stickers to :)

I think stickers on the body is a no-no aside from thought out roll-calls, window roll calls and such is the way to go IMO
 
Honestly, I really like the car..aside from the "sponsor" stickers. The body kit looks really agressive and its the same year as my car lol. Some tasteful mods but again it doesn't take much to ruin it. Were all just trying to give constructive critisism and as long as you like your own car its all good.
 
no no no what im saying is as of right now i got a new header, i just got to install it, then later on i want to turbo it, but **** it, so dub and alot of other people dont like my car cuz they think its ugly(except me) ok cool. people dont wanna hear about how i cant pay for alot of mods cuz im in school(im still saying i could do so much more if i didnt have to pay for school haha), ok cool. do i freak out about every opinion i get? NO just with dubs opinion which im cool with. so can we all be happy now??? :D

ok, well at least you redeemed yourself. but i will say i like one thing on your car, that you made that bumper fit the 99-00 front. looks like you did a pretty good job.

(unless you bought the bumper like that, as far as i know, they didnt make that kit for the 99-00...but i could be wrong)

Well any new member that comes on should look around and see what other people are doing. If your car is far different from the others, then chances are its going to get negative remarks when you ask for opinions. I understand this is open to anyone and that we as a community are here to help each other. And I am one of the first people to try and help when it comes down to it. But, if you ask for peoples opinions about a stickered up "show" car then dont get bent out of shape when its not the feedback you want. I could have easily lied and just said it looks good. I think most of us at one point were students and know the stress that comes with modding. But, just because you dont have money doesnt mean it can be done tastefully. I think his car is pretty decent aside from the stickers, the kit appears to be done well and its atleast painted body color which is a plus over some ricers out there....and no boosted im not making fun of your bumper, i mean the guys around here that have pure white body kits attached with zip ties and rivets on a black car.

Oh and I has stickers on my "show" car too. Just not where you can see them every day.
