With what are you lowered, Toucci?

I love the look you have with that drop. How much did those run you, and where did you find them, if you don't mind me asking?

General Consensus? I recently bought some 16x7" (42+ offset if I'm not mistaken) rims for my P5, and am wanting to know recommendations for tire sizes. I'm not so much concerned for ride quality (I like feeling the road) as much as wet traction/snow traction, and general handling. I also intend...

Completely off-topic: Crazy D, props to you for that icon. They should make a t-shirt like that.

Alright... I recently had another thought about my vehicle. I still indend to get it lowered, however I am debating what style of rim and tire combination I should go for. I was going though one of the forums and saw a P5 with either stock or 15 inch size rims and thicker sidewall, and it had a...

From what I've read, rolling fenders is a bit risky, however the tool of choice for the job by do-it-yourselfers seems to be an aluminum baseball bat pushed up between the top edge of the tire and the wheel well of the car. As Hughes mentioned, one concern is cracking the paint, and another...

I recently came across some money that I am needing to invest into my car (the Dunlops have got to go) and since I am doing the tires, I am wanting to knock a few goals out of the way by doing them, the rims, and lowering it, all at the same time. I am wanting to go for an Eibach kit, since...

Okay, I am not too savvy on how tinting works regarding windows... Well, I'm not stupid, and I've watched it done. I understand that you basically spray dishsoap on there and position and cut the tinting film how you want it... Whatever, allow me to get to my point. I saw some posts regarding...

I hope this stays with the topic enough. A friend of mine also has a P5, and both of us have left headlights that short out within months of replacing a light. Is this a common thing for you all? Neither one of us have had any mods done to the headlights, so they shouldn't be having the issue...

To those of you who have answered the question, I appreciate it. I'll just focus on the muffler and not worry about the catalytic converters. To others, I will say that I honestly appreciate the feedback, albeit slightly irritating. The points of forums in general are the sharing of information...

Yup, you caught me. I'm an aggressive driver that makes the roads less safe for the rest of you all... This is an Internet board that focuses on the modification of the Protege5, most of said modifications being for performance sake, true? Now I'm going to go out on a limb, here, and assume that...

Haha... Yeah, screw the Yaris. Whatever happened to the good names for cars? I have to give a lot of credit to domestic manufacturers for that quality. Like Dodge with the Charger, and the Stealth, and the Avenger. I personally like the Stealth. If I could rename our cars, I'd name them the...

Am I racing the car: not officially. However, I'd like a competitive vehicle on the street. I will confess the guilty pleasure of zipping through traffic on the Interstate... I'm really looking for a little more umph to pass people with, or with which to catch up with other people who pass me...

Anyone have some advice regarding some makes of polished aluminum rims that actually shine? I want some of the aluminum rims that pretty much look like chrome, 17's preferably.

Keeping the accelerator planted while you shift, eh... Not to suggest that the other techniques discussed thus far would do any less, but it seems as though powershifting would lead to all sorts of problems.
