    Price

    There isn't that much mark up in ANY car in that price range! Even Ford's ect.....I work at a Ford dealership and frequently get to peek at the invoices, you'd be luck to see $1500-2000 markup on any car under $35,000. Get over that and yeah there is plenty of markup. I'd expect to pay...

    Has anyone noticed the retail and trad in value?

    Hey guys I hate to break the news to you but since our cars are limited additions with most of the mods being performed post production, we basically have dressed up ES 2.0's. :wtf: If you doubt me do a model search by VIN number, the build code of the MP3 (BJ22) is the exact same as that of...

    Yeah I thought I got one hell of a deal too!! It was $25 for the powder and $6 for labor on each wheel. The place was called Ultimate Coatings in Ft. Collins CO. Like I said the finish isn't quite what I woudl call "show finish" but for the price that I paid it can'e be beat. Don't get me...

    I had the rims powder coated. The place I had them done at used Cardinal Finishes, and charged me only $125 for all four. (I had to pay to mount and dismount the tires which was about another $100). I'm not sure that I like the finish though, I don't think the shop did as good a job as...

    Possible bushing fix?

    I hate to say this but the suspension looks identical to what is under our cars. Most of the comments are compared to the Regular protege's. I'm not sure that this is a fix.

    Short Shifters - Which Is Best? Your Experiences Please...

    I have the TMW shifter and I don't have one complaint! Not only that but the stock knob screws right on. I had a momo knob on prior and the damn thing kept working loose. I also installed the kartboy bushings, it was well worth the money.

    MHP Tuning CF CAI

    Hey guys, I am now getting enough money to do some engine mods. Earlier I saw a group of people that had an MHP Carbon Fiber intake. This is the intake that I woudl really like to have, but I am unable to find them on the web, the old site MHPTuning.com doesn't work. Does anyone know how I...
