One last thing

There's one last thing I forgot that you have to do. There is a black rubber seal type thing around the sidemarker. You have to trim that to fit around the new lens since the clear lens is a little bigger in the middle than the stock one. Once you start playing with it you will se what I mean. I actuall tore off the one that came on the stock one and trimmed the one that comes with the clear one to make it fit the back of the stock side marker. I guess I'll take pics of that too since that sounds confusing.

thanks bigben, i ordered them today, ill tell u how the install goes. i removed the old ones yesterday it looks like it should be pretty easy, by the way did u replace the clear bulbs with amber ones?? if so where did u get them, i was thinkin pepboys.

 

[big_ben]

It comes with them.

Since i have a blue mp3 do you think the smoked ones might look better, i already ordered the clears but since my car is blue i hope they dont stand out to much. i guess i will just do a dry fit test before glueing and make sure i like it. i was just thinkin the smoked ones might look pretty good.

they came today, i just put them on, the install went very well. it was annoying getting all the orance plastic off the only problem was i used super glue to glue the new ones on and my fingers are all hard now. but besides that it went good. i must say the car looks much better with the clear blinkers. they look like they came from the factory like that. Thanks for all the help BIGBEN. by the way are you doing the turbo install yourself??? Is it done yet??
Your assistants was very helpful and apreciated.

 

[big_ben]

Thanks for the compliments. Everyone should know how easy it is to do. You are right though, it is a little agrivating tryong to get all the orange plastic off. I used a grinder though and it went a lot faster. As for the turbo, I'm doing it all myself. All I have left to get is the turbo which is in the mail, and the manifold which spoolin is still working on. He's having it chrome plated. It should look really good. I'll post pics of the process and when I'm done. It should be on within 4 to 5 more weeks!

Wastin no time on the turbo huh?

 

[big_ben]

Hell Yeah!

I talked to spoolin yesterday and he said the manifold might be finished next week. I'll be the 2nd boosted yellow MP3! All ready to wipe up the competition at HIN in August. I'm thinking about getting the nitrous intercooler spray kit also. $300 is a lot of money though.

Better....They now come STANDARD on any Protege made for the year 2002.5! From the factory! Go to your dealership. Be ready to shell out about $60.

ive been wanting the claer side markers for a while now. i remember an old post where someone used cougar side markers and glued them on. I was wondering if anyone made clear markers that fit properly. i know alot of people mention in their mods that they have them. i wasjust wondering where to get them and how much they cost. thankyou any help would be appreciated. Also what color AEM intake would look beter on a blue MP3 blue or silver?????

I've posted this plenty of times before, hope you all see this.
