Pics of my '03

[chiefmg]

Here's a couple of pics of my car with the lip/skirts and other parts installed. I am pretty much done, have a couple of small things left but I am very happy with how it looks.

omg man that looks sooooo hot! The OEM body kit makes the car look 200 times better! I mean, I have the front lip only, but everything else just completes the PERFECT look.

Way to go man! Keep it up! (thumb)

 

[chiefmg]

Thanks DiS. As I said I have a couple of small items to complete (like painting the black piece at the top of the grille) but I am pretty happy with how it looks.

that lip is Factory option for the sedan (DX/LX/ES) and is no longer being produced. So if you can get your hands on one of them, you're in luck. Production of this lip has been stopped about 3-4 months ago.

Wheels are painted, Duplicolor bronze w/clearcoat. I did what I thought was a good job, but have been getting some chips so would like to get them powdercoated (except I am also trying to buy a Speed6 so money is an issue). Like DiS said the front lip is the factory piece which apparently has been discontinued. See the for sale thread which njaremka has going to get one. His are much cheaper than what I got mine for by about $100.

Everyone's a critic! FYI it just had a bath, albeit at a touchless place (which sucked and I won't go back, if I have to I'll go the extra 5 miles to the place close to my old house). I have a lot on my plate so it's hard to find time to keep up with all the cleaning. Thanks for all the positive comments.

looks nice! a couple suggestions...remove the pin stips and the "ES" decals and MAYBE the door strips i think that would make it look MUCH cleaner, IMO. other than that, SUPER!

F'n sweet cheifmg! You hardly ever see that colour of Protege around.

 

[Kansei]

Looks very nice! What color is that, perhaps "garnet red mica"?

 

[sandspeed]

Looks great man.

 

[chiefmg]

Yes, it's Garnet Red Mica. As for the ES and stripes, the ES on the passenger side is off right now, I am trying to decide which I like better. The stripes stay as I think it breaks up the side a little (with such a dark color). I will leave the side rub strips on as well, with all the inconsiderate people in the world today I want as much protection in parking lots as I can get.

They won't protect your car from SUVs. The only noticeable dent I have happened before I took the side molding off.

what headlights are those?

BTW... Very nice job on the car. The painted lip is so much nicer then unpainted.

Stock headlights, back in the oven at 180 or 200 for 10 minutes, pull apart, remove reflector, reheat, squeeze together.
