Familia Progress Report

[SubXer0]

ok well heres a page i'm setting up for the progress of the car over the next few months, so far i've gotten the MSP front bumper(protege5)
only parts left that i need before the repaint are:
1.Left front fender(here 10/25/05)
2.The paint (Paint will be here by late this week/early next)

heres a pic with the new bumper cover and new intake setup(i took the extension off basically) this is how the car is looking at the moment, its got all the black on it because i've had to repair a few things,
check back for updates over the next few months (thumb)

Parts i'll be collecting after the repaint include:
03.5 lip, sideskirts and rear lip
new rims/tires
differen't springs possibly coilovers(need a lower drop)
regular oem tailights(anyone wanna trade for my tinted taillights?)

need(ed) for this project:

i don't want to split hairs, but that's a protege5 bumper. the msp doesn't have the holes in the sides for sidemarkers. otherwise, i can't wait to see everything come together.

 

[SubXer0]

ur right it is a p5 bumper i got it because i wanted those sidemarkers, i just call msp because i'm getting the lip and making it look like an msp which is kinda easier to say lol

Update 10/10/05
i just picked up this grill from Igagno1!

 

[sanblaster]

Looks good but you have to much black. Cant wait until everythings painted Dante. The grill looks pretty nice too.

 

[SubXer0]

thanks...get used to the black tho cuz thats prob the color its gonna be repainted

 

[sanblaster]

Youre painting it all black. That is going to look nice.....................when it is clean.......................for 15 minutes. Tough color to keep clean but looks sexy as hell. I would go with chrome wheels on a black car though because it would just be too much black but that is just my opinion. Peace, Santos

 

[SubXer0]

i'm going with bronze

 

[sanblaster]

i'm going with bronze

Didn't you just paint them from bronze to black and then you are going to paint them from black to bronze again? You just like to stay busy don't you?

 

[SubXer0]

oh these rims are going, i'm getting 16's now but the bronze didn't look right before because of the color the car was but when its black it'll look str8

You should really paint it that green that you were originally talking about. That would be totally unique and nice......make it stand out a bit, and do something different.

 

[SubXer0]

i kno i'm so back and forth i have it narrowed down to 3 colors i want i just can't decide i'm going for looks but i need something practical as well(which sucks) black is the most practical because if anything is damaged which they tend to be in waukegan its easy to fix but i do like the green tho i dunno we'll see

 

[99 Pro]

Go with the green dude.....be different. If you had that green and the gold rims it would be 'off da chain'!

 

[SubXer0]

very true

 

[SubXer0]

update 10/12/05: well i'll have the paint by late this week/early next,
so all i have left to get is that fender and we'll be in buisness, then i'll talk to the guy at the shop about how much its going to be for the repaint and go from there

 

[unwound]

i have a set of msp side skirts i'm selling if you still need them.

 

[SubXer0]

sweet how much did you want for them?
