Mazda Protege LX
I'm happy to inform everybody that after a year of having a flat black protege, I have installed a FULL MSP lip kit on it, yes even the front lip, and painted it a beautiful shiny metallic black. I had to cut the front bumper in half and tie in the lip to make it the bottom half of the bumper, but it worked and looks badass. To see pics of the kit go to http://www.cardomain.com/ride/786642 I'll have painted pics up soon. I take the car outta the garage this afternoon.
 
cool... not diggin the blue interior pieces.... or that fire extinguisher?
 
NIce front bumper its exactly what Im about to do.

How much work did it take to make it fit. I know at the least I need to cut the sides. It looks stock on yours! HOws the gap under the headlights, did it take alot of work to make it fit? Cut the rebar alot?

Howed you tint the tail lights? NIteshades?
 
The outside looks great, but the interior? But if you like it that's the important part.

Ditto, It looks bad ass. I might plan on doing the same...
 
Um, I used my stock 99 1.6 bumper. I had to cut from one scoop all the way over to the other scoop. So basically I took out the entire bottom front of my stock bumper to make the lip fit. It's actually now the bottom of my bumper. Not a lip. I did the interior myself an it's staying it used to be brown and like a khaki color, the stupid ass wing has been gone for months actually, but man am I glad I finally got rid of it. and the tail lights and headlight I used Folia-Tech Night Shades. And the fire extinguisher stays because I'm tapped for Nitrous...And because it's not one of those bad APC extinguishers, it's an OBX Flame Beater...I'll have paint pics up soon
 
Isn't one wiper conversion illegal? The car looks alright but is definitely not shining in the pics. Did you paint the interior all yourself? Seems like a lot of work.
 
I like a lot of the work you've done to it. Keep making it your own. Good job on that front end. Looks real good.
 
should'a kept it flat black, it looked HARD... put some steelies on with the little chrome rings..... altho I sure it looks good shiny

I haven't put up pictures of it painted yet...Those were pics of it when it was flat black. And no the one wiper is not illegal, and even if it was, who the hell would try pulling somebody over for that!? I'm workin on gettin some new rims...Just dont know if I wanna go black with chrome lip or bronze like JDM. Thanks for the opinions guys, and givin me plenty of ideas.
 
exactly... I can imagine a fiberglass hood to help push that image... Hard I say, HARD
