the only tool you will need to do the install is a screw driver....

you will end up removing two of the plastic screw things that hold the inner wheel well in on each side and putting in a snap head.....the instructions that come with the bra are really straight forward.....the install is a piece of cake.

OOPS....I forgot one thing....IF you live in a state where you have to or at least you do have a licence plate mounted on the front of the car....you will have to remove the plate and the mount for it, put the lower bra section on the car.....feel for the two holes where the screws go through....poke to holes in the bra and remount the plate holder.....

there is a spot on the bra specifically flattened out where the plate goes...you will see what I mean when you get it.
 
Ok. Thanks for the help. Should be a peice of cake. I'll have to poke a few holes in it for my front plates.
 
The Mazda front mask is fairly easy to install. The only tool I needed was a stubby Phillips screwdriver to replace the wheelwell screws. I found that a regular length screwdriver was too long cause the tire was in the way, even turned hard left or right.

Altogether the install took me about 30 minutes. You might want a friend to hold one side down for you while you stretch the mask across the front end. It's a tight fit, but that's what happens with form-fitting accessories.

Important tip: Always COMPLETELY remove the mask before washing the car. You'll be amazed and disgusted with how much crap gets underneath, which is no good for the paint. :mad: I'm considering leaving the mask off for the summer... maybe.

Custom ones will cost you about like $120 to $150 and they might be designed differently.

I don't have the thread id (do a search! - ha, I told somebody to do a search) but since the MSP doesn't have the side lamps, an MSP owner had one made, and the design is different from the one from Mazda for the Protege5. Do a search on like front mask or bra and you'll get some hits.

I got my front mask from MazdaStuff.com for like $90.
 
Like most guys have said peice-O-cake. MMMMMM...cake. Screwdriver=Philips, Instructions='easy as pie'. MMMMM...Pie. I would only use the bra for long trips or if your area uses a lot of pea-gravel in the winters. Otherwise leave it off and save your paint. Snap to put on, literally, and a snap to take off. ;)

I dunno Nuke. I tried to use a screwdriver once, it left a big old mark on her titty, and she yelled like a scalded cat....Oh wait you're talking about CAR BRAS!!!! (never mind) (boobs)

And Jacking the thread...Nuke I was on 59 around the Beltway last night and spotted a Yellow P5 up ahead. I tore ass about 90 thinking it might be you. The 50ish soccer mom driving the car thought I was homicidal when I flew up next to her and stared in the window!...Ooops!

Now back to you regularly scheduled thread.
 
Car bras are gay. There's no nice way to put that because I tried to say it nicer. Its just not the custom look however, its only your opinion that counts.:bs: (notcool)
