03.5 lip on the way. WOO!

 

[719prottege]

installed the street unit rear mount today. its awesome! feels so much more solid, less wheel hop.
03.5 lip should be here soon!

 

[hornsfan10609]

Do you have any of the other mounts replaced? Solid mounts are about my favorite mod for my MSP so far, along with FMIC and hardpipes. Congrats on the 03.5 lip, they are getting hard to find.

 

[719prottege]

i have medevil front and drivers mount, and awr inserts on the passenger. i will probably get awr passenger soon

 

[hornsfan10609]

I have an AWR passenger and Medieval/Minerva for the other 3. I'm happy with them AWR FTW.

 

[719prottege]

i would have to agree with you. i had awr mounts on my last protege, loved them...
my buddy just finished his ls1 swapped slammed stanced s14 kouki, so that lit a fire under my ass. may start tearing apart the spare builder motor tomorrow. also gonna get some more stance friendly wheels for when i go low. 17x9+35 on BC's, well thats the plan anyways.

[hornsfan10609]

His car was originally a spicy and was redone in black. A crime against Spicys, I know. I believe the bay and door and trunk jambs are still orange.

 

[repthemazdas]

[hornsfan10609]

Oh yeah I forgot he repainted it when he swapped motors. It USED to be spicy, as in his sig pic.

yea i didnt know either till i looked at my mod list lol. it wasnt too bad, i had the engine out anyways so i just spray painted it. i didnt do as good of a job as i would like, i will be re-spraying next time i pull the motor. it is a purple/pink color i got just from autozone.

the original owner painted it because "It was too flashy". the jambs trunk and everything is all black, it was a leggit paint job. im going to paint the whole car john dear flat black soon. i still with it was spicy.
