Doing this on Protege 5's has been discussed about 4 times already in this thread. All the information you need is here....Lord_Zath said:Any p5's try this? I was just thinking that the last window trim doesn't have tape; it seems like a whole piece of plastic. So unless I were to take it off and match it to the laser blue paint, it'd look really outta place. Thoughts? Anyone take the last piece off before? What's it look like underneath?

Yesssah it does.MP3intheSTL said:Does anyone know if the MP3's have tape?
I'm at work and can't go look.
i agree with that. i think the black gives it more of a classy look, but the body colored just looks too (for the lack of a better word) ricey. i thought it looked alright at first and then after i see it a few times i don't think it looks good at all.uclap5 said:i have to wonder if all the cars came with the doors painted body colored and no tape would people be painting it black just to be different.
the more i see this mod the less i like it.
Allright since I've followed the whole thread and it's obvious that the question is not being answered, I shall attach a picture of my car with the area in question circled. My p5 has tape on the doors. But the black piece in the final side window is not tape. I think it's plastic. So I'm wondering if anyone who owns a p5 has taken this off before. Could a p5 owner please respond to this?SonicRacer said:Doing this on Protege 5's has been discussed about 4 times already in this thread. All the information you need is here....
But to answer your question, it does not work on all of them.

(werd) everyone who has seen my car likes it. Hell even my parents liked it, and while waiting in line at CrapDonalds some older guy complimented my car. So it cant be THAT bad.HorsepowerFreak said:Everyone that I've pointed that out to on my car absolutely loves it, car guys or not. I don't see why it would be considered ricey though. That's what the car is like until an outside force puts something over it.
Isn't vinyl more associated with "rice" anyway. I got ya there!
Yeah, it's all a matter of opinion though. This isn't something most people would even notice. Just like the JDM taillights for the P5... Only P5 guys know it's different. haha
That is actually the frame that holds your window to the car. Taking it off will mean the glass can come out. I think the only option is to paint it. We found that out on my 2002 when we realized there was no tape to be pulled.....Lord_Zath said:Allright since I've followed the whole thread and it's obvious that the question is not being answered, I shall attach a picture of my car with the area in question circled.

hmm ok thanks. I figured it was something like that. When I tapped on the piece and then on the black tape, I could hear a definite difference in sound. Also it looks like that piece is a part of the window stripping, like you said. So taking it out would mean water could get in a lot easier... So no tape pulling for me!DayOh257 said:That is actually the frame that holds your window to the car. Taking it off will mean the glass can come out. I think the only option is to paint it.
