    Someone jacked the front side markers off me car today!!!!

    Dude I'm a little pissed. Heading out to school today I was walking to my car and noticed the little side markers right beneath the taillights had been removed on both sides. Not the side blinkers, but the little markers that don't do anything (as far as I know). I attached a pic for you to...

    Help with lowering...newb here!

    Hey guys. I'm thinking about buying parts online then finding a shop to lower my p5. I have a couple questions if you don't mind. 1) I was planning on going with the Eibach ProKit and Tokico Blues. Everything I read says the ProKit lowers it 1.2in in the back and 1.4 in the front. In many...

    What are major issues when lowering?

    I'm thinking about dropping my p5 about 1.5 inches, just to give it a more aggressive look. I'm new to modding, and just wanted to get some opinions about what to keep in mind when deciding to lower your car. Pretty much looking for all the pros and cons. What are some differences that are...

    Removing interior paint?

    So I think I may have found an awesome P5 to buy, been looking for a while. It's dark blue, but some of the interior has been painted (middle center console around CD player, and the area around the shifter). From the pictures it looks so-so, not sure if I like it yet. I'm sure when I see it...

    Some basic mods for a Protege5

    Hey guys. I'm currently in the process of locating my ideal Protege5. I really want a black or dark blue 5 speed, but it's hard to find one with decent miles in my area. I've been checking around surrounding states that are within driving distance, but no luck yet. ANYWAY, once I get this...
