    RSX seats...has anybody swapped them into a Protege?

    Wow I hope all goes well for you. The RSX seats are some of my very favourites. I'm relatively happy with my (cloth) p5 seats, but the bolstering could be so much better. The RSX seats are gorgeous and make me wish I'd gone for the leather interior... much easier to match other leathers than...

    Finally Got my Pro5! (New member ride with pics!)

    Thanks for the welcomes everyone! 1991cc: Thanks for the compliments! It is pretty pristine. I will definitely keep my eyes out for you as well! Rusty: I'm inclined to agree... I'm not concerned with chasing a few extra ponies with the Protege. I like my speed as much as the next guy, but...

    Finally Got my Pro5! (New member ride with pics!)

    Yes, the Canuck advantage rarely comes out in cars, it seems, but here it does! bgibb68-- What exactly do you mean by PnP the intake and remove a set of butterflies? And with making the interior black, I assume you mean the silver trim? Cheers, Ben *edit*-- A bit of searching... by...

    Finally Got my Pro5! (New member ride with pics!)

    Thanks for the welcomes guys! The blacked out lights actually were factory on Canadian 2003's! I think it looks great with the yellow! Thanks for the tip on the HID kit Hank3! That's definitely on my list now. Cheers, Ben

    Finally Got my Pro5! (New member ride with pics!)

    Hey everyone! Just signed the transfer papers this afternoon. I'm now officially the proud owner of a 2003 Protege 5 in Sunburst (vivid) yellow with 88,000km's or 54,680 miles. It's bone stock, and in fantastic condition. A few scrapes on front bumper and above rear driver's wheel well, but...

    stock wheels

    @ manny122 What paint did you use? Is that Duplicolor Graphite with a bunch of clearcoat? And the red M is pretty sweet... Those look very clean! Cheers, Ben

    Opinion on these wheels?

    I'm actually really digging the Konig Lightspeeds in hyper silver http://www.konigwheels.com/Konig-Home/Konig-Passenger-Wheels/LIGHTSPEED-HYPER-SILVER or the Runaway in hyper silver http://www.konigwheels.com/s.nl/it.A/id.7633/.f I'll have to see if Z1 can get them... Also, what would you...

    Opinion on these wheels?

    CT3P5-- I somewhat agree. I doubt the replikas are as good quality, and 1010 is pretty pricy. The problem is that we don't have tons of options up here in Canada. I know tire rack will deliver, but it's pricy. It's really just better off to drive down and get them installed in the states, so I...

    NEW JBR Shift Knobs in Stock!

    Hi I'm just wondering if you ship up to Canada?

    Opinion on these wheels?

    That was the picture that actually inspired finding these wheels! The replicas are slightly different from the ms3's too, in that they have a slight twist in the spokes whereas the speed3 one's are essentially two 5-spokes that are overlayed. That, combined with being slightly smaller would make...

    Opinion on these wheels?

    Well now I'm torn again! The replica wheels are somewhat cheaper too, and I do really like how they don't look very aftermarket. I'm looking for subtlety; nothing garish or very clearly tuner, personally. I think they will almost work even better than actual ms3's, given that they're 17's and...

    Opinion on these wheels?

    Thanks for the input! I really like the gunmetal finish of the Kosei's, but I think the seven spoke design of the Enkei's, and the way the the spokes extend to the rim (makes them look bigger, or rather makes the Kosei's look smaller) is swaying me in their direction. If you use the "view on...

    Opinion on these wheels?

    I'm looking for some 17's for my p5. Stock suspension, and pretty sure I won't be lowering. That said, would I be better off sticking with 16's? My pro5 is Midnight Blue Anyhow, what do you think of these? They look like a 17" version of the MS3 wheels, which I think personally look awesome...

    Very Interested in this P5. What do you guys think?

    Well, nevermind that. No A/C, a gouge above the wheelwell, and she didn't really want to budge on the price. The search goes on!

    Very Interested in this P5. What do you guys think?

    Hey everyone! First time poster here. Been enjoying reading through the community, and it seems like a great place. I'm very interested in getting a Protege5, as I think they're a pretty incredible blend of practicality, reliability and fun-factor, not to mention looks. But I guess I don't...
