Looks great. Did you also get a cover plate for the spot where your old 3rd brake light was located inside the hatch? Any issues with placing that securely in place?

One man's sadness is another man's joy. I've PMd you on TOP.

I'm interested in learning the how-to to 'project' the foglight housing in a P5 to a more forward position. The below is an illustration of the difference I am talking about. Stock location: Where I'd like it to reside: The MB kit can only sit on the front bumper in a specific way, so its...

Does anyone at least know the part number for the JDM rear? Looks like I'm gonna have to order this part from Japan...(eek2)

I have a Mintblue Type 1 rear half bumper and need the JDM bumper to mount it to. Mounting plates for the JDM bumper is also required. Thanks.

Bump ;-) I'm looking for a Mintblue front bumper for the 2002 Mazda Protege 5, "JM1BJ". In doing some research on the forums it seems the fitment is good so long as you match the right bumper with the right model year and whether the car is an import or domestic model. I could be swayed to go...

Oh, and these tires are awesome in wet weather too. I have not noticed and difference in terms of traction and stability.

Update.... I dashed across city (Burlington Ontario to Oshawa Ontario) Saturday afternoon, and most of the time I was doing @ 150km/h. The proxes were smoother, quieter and 'stickier' than the stock Dunlops ever felt. Very happy!

Tires have been ordered. Make that Toyo Proxes 4 's ;-)

Yeah, I went back to see how many kms I put on the winter tires vs the Dunlops, and it looks like so far I've put on a total of 21,000 kms on the winter tires, and the odometer is at 103,000, so that's 82,000 km or 51,000 miles. And that was not granny driving ;-)

Well, that tire has been discountinued in favour of the A/S version. I don't need an all-season version, and when I called Michelin, they agreed that it sucked that I wanted to be their customer, but that they didn't have a tire in the size I needed. Kumho ECSTA ASX it is ;-)

Thanks. I really should go and figure out the real mileage on those stock tires, since I ran on winters for 5 months of the year over the past 2 years. I got the car just when they were first arriving at the dealers in 2001, and i've not changed a thing apart from regular maintenance items...

I may see what kind of deal i can get on some Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2s. I got a deal on some x-ice tires for the Integra, so it can't hurt to try.

Kilometers so roughly 62,000 miles.

Ah, I'll look in to the Kumhos and more Z rated tyres. I had read about Yoko tire wear not being that good in comparison to other brands, but I'll check around some more. I gotta hurry, the snows all gone and its spring!

LOL. Yeah, I'm trying for some award ;-)

I've been lurking for so long I think its time I posted something. I have a stock Sunlight Silver P5 that I got in May of 2001, just went over 100k, and will be fully paid for in 2 months. The stock Dunlops (SP5000M - P195/50R16 83V) I have are finally dead (guess I got lucky with my set, I...
