i got it from a guy named 'quagmire' on the board, i think he had it shipped from Japan... definately wasnt a perfect fit though, lots of grinding and shaping

even so... it's cool to see and makes your car different than most 99/00

yeah thanks, i was debating doing the sport20 look, but this was much cheaper and with the group buy going on, i wanted to have something different

Looks good man. I'm assuming you got the bent wheel replaced/repaired?

Notice anything new (first)

Looks great Blade. Gonna look perfect once that rear lip is on......it really finishes off the back end of the Protege nicely.

i think the protege with the p5/mp3/msp front end always looks great in white! i really think they should have done a white msp. one of hte only white cars i like.

also saving for a rear lip!

Updated pics with the skirts and air dam. The air dam was a pretty easy install and it went right together. However, I used painters tape to mark the holes instead of the template. Also I opted to use a bolt washer combo as opposed to the bit that popped into the mudguards.

New struts and springs are next, just waiting on the struts. Also I'm going to get some clear corners as well. I'm pretty happy with it so far, hopefully you guys will approve!
