Three quick questions

1991 Protege DX
First of all, does anyone have a picture of a Sand Mica Protege with blacked out head lights? I'm thinking it wouldn't look as good as it does with other colors, perhaps i could attempt to color match?

Secondly, does anyone know where i can find a set of tail light overlays for the Protege sedan? (Are the sedan ones different?)

Finally, does anyone know where i could get a set of Trim rings for the gauges? I can only find brushed aluminum bezels that cover everything except for the gauges, which I don't like quite as much.

Thanks in advance. Oh and if it matters my Protege is an 01 sedan.
 
Umm Yes the sedan ones are different... you can find the gels on Ebay... or you could black them out like you are thinking on the front as the gels can fall off. The trim rings can be found in the for sale section i know EMPIRE is selling some
 
thanks ill have to take a look for the rings later.

on a related topic i was looking at a couple of 3's today at school and they have the nicest stock tail lights i have ever seen, especially the silver and black cars.
 
yep my mom has a 5 door and they do look really nice too bad i couldnt afford one so i just bought a protege
 
here's a picture I found of blacked out headlights on a sand mica (although the headlights are actually projectors):

Thanks for the picture. They don't look bad, but I would say that has a lot to do with the black hood.
 
I now have slightly better question: Would a AWR oil pan be fine on a Protege lowered say 2"? Which springs give the best handling upgrade, with a drop of around 1.5"-2"?
