When you painted the trim that surrounds the window controls on the door, did you just tape it off and spray it while on the door? I looked around that protege.ugly site and couldn't figure out how to get that little piece off. The problem with the carbon trim stuff is that it has to be cut and...

The protege5.ugly site is great! Thanks for the resource! Jonathan

That is lookin pretty sick! :) I was wondering how you got the center piece of trim around the stereo and climate controls off? I want to do mine in a carbon fiber finish but that's one piece I couldn't get off. All the others popped out (eg:around shifter) but that one didn't want to give and...

I took mine in last year for the "free first oil change".... I wax my car obsessively and am very picky about how I wash it: no soap and dry it right away. Anyway...I told the service monkey about 5 times NOT to wash it for me... Well, the ass just hosed it down, so by the time I get home, I had...

I used the sponge-on method with great results and no time spent taping. The spraying paint into a cup works well, but I have a tip to add: After spraying it into the cup, wait about 2 minutes for the paint to thicken up. When it comes out of the can, it's VERY thin (in order to pass through...

I just did mine last week, and used the method described both here and in the 'how to" section with great results. Just used a wire brush to clean them, then sprayed the paint into a cup and applied with a sponge brush. It took about 5 coats per caliper to get a nice finish. The only tip I can...

Anyone that talks s*** about the P5 being a 'wagon' is bitter because their two door, Wal-mart Honda handles like a shopping cart, or because they're some Mullit-tard that thinks anything with less that eight cylinders is for "faggots". Damn, I love my P5 and I come from a family of race car...

Ah ha! Silverstars in and working and the Philips bulbs fit right where you said! Thanks again....

Great! Thanks very much! (Just to double check, you mean the interior lights between the driver's and passanger's seats, right?) Jonathan

Just a question: I purchased the Osram Silverstar bulbs through poowerbulbs.com and the pro5 group buy. When the packaged arrived today, there was a little suprise in it: a second set of bulbs!! They're just bulbs (no metal mounting thing), packaged in a blister pack and labled "Philips Blue...

I am planning on painting my grills as well, and founf the bottom grill fairly easy to remove. It's much easier if you remove the air dam first, (held on by four screws) , and the licence plate holder. After that, just unclip the grill from the rear (one clip at each corner, and four central...

Just replaced my stock fog bulbs with some nice whites!! I can't believe what Mazda charges for that...it MIGHT have taken me 10 minutes per bulb. (partly due to the super instructions here!) Jonathan
