Familia Progress Report

What colour of paint did you get? Also, get the MSP sideskirts. Totally changes the look of the car. I love how mine look.
 
haven't bough it yet i'll try and find a pic of the color....black is obvious you've seen the green theres only one other color i'm considering and i think this color may be the one:D lemme see if i can find a pic...
 
this is the color the pic is no where near doing it justice it looks almost black then when light hits it it turns a really dark copper its beautiful, i'm figuring this color and i'm going to get some dark bronze rims its gonna look sweet:D

honestly, i am only looking to get $120+shipping for them. i figured shipping to be around $100, i.e. $220 asking price.

get me your shipping info and i will get ya a concrete ship cost.

if you see anything else you want, make a reasonable offer.


when i bought side skirts from a guy in new york shipping was only 25 or something like that and i live in georgia.

on the color of the car i like the green idea the best.
 
Nice choice. Anything but black. I mean even though my car is black (and I love my car), if I were to have the funds to paint it I wouldn't do it in black.....something a bit different from other Protege's will look nice. Gonna look good once everything is done. Can't wait to see the final results.
 
^ thanks yeah thats what i wanted too something thats a differen't color i think this should look good, it'll be differen't thats for sure lol

Hey pro 1, you look like the person to ask about this. I am contemplating puting a P5 kit on my LX. What needs to be changed from my stock LX? I am being told that I will need new headlights, grill and possibly a new hood. Is this all true? and if so do they all bolt right up?

I personally thought the grill and hood are the same?
 
Also, how much is this body conversion running you if you don't mind me asking. I am trying to choose between simply buying a BC2 kit or going with a P5/MP3/speed, look

Nope, grille is different than those for the LX. Check my cardomain for the part listings for the entire MSP kit. I don't know what the number of the P5 kit is but I'm sure Ken or Dante can get it for ya.
 
Well, I took the time to post this cuz im bored. Here is a complete listing of every single piece you need, including fog lights and such for the conversion. Note the rear spoiler is the 2003.5 style, instead of the MP3 style.

BN7H-50-031 bumper
B30P-50-1T1A lower grille
BN7H-50-710A upper grille
B30P-56-130A right wheel well
B30P-56-140A left wheel well
BN7H-50-070A reinforcement bar
BN5V-51-680 fog lamp (need 2)
FB01-50-133 C clip
9CF6-00-520 bolt
9957-83-000 washer (need 2)
9YA0-10-607 bolt (need 4)
9YA1-10-607 bolt (need 2)
9994-00-803 bolt (need 3)
GD7A-50-EA1 plastic snap on fastener (need 2)
B30P-51-9K1B air dam
B30K-V4-910F side skirts
0000-8M-C16 rear bumper skirt
0000-8Y-C32 rear spoiler
 
Awesome. I really appreciate the input. But one thing, how much did this cost you?? I am on a budget here so if it is a lot more than what I could get a BC2 kit for then I probably won't do it.
The MP3 style rear wing is not even an option for me! I think it is horrible. I do however love the 2003.5 wing though. I currently have a Civic style spoiler (Lund makes it I believe) that I installed. I like the look I get from it. It's just big enough to notice but subtle enough to give it that clean look I'm going for.
