yes you can do it from either the MP3 or Pro5. just swap the stuff you said (hood, fenders, bumper, lights/fogs) it bolts on. and if your getting rid of your front end are you willing to sell you headlights?

I'm sorry for the dumb question but what year protege 5 front ends can you put on the 99 protege? i recently got one for cheap but it needs the front end pretty much and would rather it be a protege5 front end if I could.

Any year P5 will work for your 99 Protege

sweet thank you! I can't wait! bolt on is always good

Do you plan on doing a 2.0 swap? I haven't even been able to find an mp3 in a junk yard so your lucky but mine isn't raced

 

[aMYOOZ]

would fenders happen to be the same for 99 pro's and p5's? I know they are bolt on but I mean like if I find a p5 hood and bumper will it all fit.

 

[Sport23]

No. Due to the different shape of the headlights everything adjacent to them changed too. i.e. bumper, grill, hood, and fenders.

Aw poop lol. Means I got some major waiting to do for the p5 front end! lmao Thanks again Sport23
