It would be great, but how can you tell? Have you X-Ray vision, another pic, or better imagination?

looks like the skyline series... which is the one the ww uses on their protege... but its definitely not the exact same one... its probably just a factory one that looks similar... and am i the only one that kinda digs the new bumper???

Hey, it wasn't a slam. I'm just trying to figure it out myself. If it is the STi style, I'm sure glad it isn't a carbon copy of it. (see attached)
Subtle, it's not!!
BTW, would someone explain how to post a picture that will display (instead of attaching it).?

from what i can see it is like a smaller version of the sti style.. but mounted like the mp3 wing, with 2 or 3 "supports" so it is raised above the trunk, not just a big ugly oval sitting on the back of the car like on the suby

I think that Big_Ben has the right model in mind (see attached for MP3 version). I like the new bumper....more subtle, unique, and ready for a brake duct kit. And no need to fix broken fog lights which seem to be more decorative than functional (without new bulbs).

ok... DONT LAUGH!! i wasn't able to find any pics of what the wing appears to look like... so i made my own! and since im at work.. i dont have access to advanced photo editing software.. so i went back to basics.... and use microsoft paint.... the WW protege uses the skyline style wing... which is the one in the upper right... the one on the msp looks like the one on the lower left...

You have to do two things in order to place images in your post:
1. You have to have a service/server to host the image. Yahoo! won't do it anymore without a fee. I don't know of any free ones. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
2. You have to use the BB code. For example 'img]www.host.com/filename[/img]' (There should be an opening bracket on the first 'img' but if I put it there, you'll see a beautiful red x)
I think that's right. Correct me if I'm wrong.

yah... correct... 'cept its VB code 
and you can host images here... go to your user control panel and go to manage files... then just upload the pic... and link to it at http://www.protegemp3.com/members/YourMemberName/YourImage.jpg

YO.
Nice picture of the rear end..Where did you get it?.
let's discuss about that rear spoiler...I'm sure alot of people won't like it at first. Some will say it's 'ricey'...
But IMO, i think it's one of those spoiler we will all need to get used to. It's definetely DIFFERENT!
The rear skirt, hmm....it looks good imo.
But nothing too different from any other factory add on skirt. It's just a rear skirt. No biggie. Looks good!
The Exhuast tip looks slightly wider in it's oval form. Could it be larger than 2003 MSP's?
Not the biggest fan of the new colour. I'd go with yellow if i were to buy this car again

I'm not going to lie, I was really on the fence about getting the Black Mica 2003 or waiting for the Grey 2003.5 but my mind is absolutely made up. I think they've destroyed the car's asthetics. I agree that wing is unique but it's also f'n rediculous. Hideous. The front lip is okay but does not compare to the 2003. And I'm really not a fan of that color. I guess I can thank Mazda for making me feel secure in my choice.
