Help With New P5

[dj5tyle5]

Ok.....what do you guys recommend as a first place to spend money on my car.......something like tint or wheels......are there any good sites where i can find stuff for my 03 p5????

are you looking for performance or style? And how much are you willing to spend?

 

[dj5tyle5]

mainly style....dont want to viod my warranty or anything.......maybe a shortshifter...or something like that......how does an exhaust sound on the car...???...what else can i do for looks...any better fogs???maybe some that are clear like the headlights....i dunno...mainly style right now though....Also i dont really know on the price range just looking...

well, i started out with a p5, but i only had it for 5 months before i traded it in on a used mp3....couldn't resist an mp3. I had done an exhaust mod to the p5. It was a ractive muffler. No catback, but still gave the car a much more beefier sound than before. It definately was worth it. I also tinted the windows, and put a mazdaspeed decal on it (i know, rice....but i didn't know any better yet). After the exhaust, i'd go for a cold air intake. There are many companies that you can choose from such as Injen, OEM, Ractive, etc. With the intake and the exhaust, you might beable to put 5-7 extra horsepower on your car, but is definately the best bang for your buck. Probably only cost you $600 US. But i went the performance route rather than the stylin route. So as for foglights, i have no idea...If you're looking for a short shifter, you can either go with the B&M one or the Kartboy...The Kartboy one is very good and half the price. Its what our protege club will be ordering. I hope this helps somewhat....i know i'm kinda all over the place here

yeah im thinking about the shortshifter right now.....so is that Kartboy a good one to get???? I know the B&M would be good....i dont think im going to do much performace wise to the car until i get it paid into more....id much rather spend money on making it mine...i would consider a slight drop....not to drastic where i mess everything up but far enough so that it looks better...any ideas??

 

[SomaMP3]

well this is what mine had looked like just to give you an idea...and this was done super cheap...the decal cost me 60 bucks canadian and the tint was $250.

(rice)

 

[dj5tyle5]

what exactly is rice???(referring to GXL's comment..) How much are the performance drops springs from mazda and will it drop it enough so that it will look good and still be a good daily driver??/

 

[Protege5 kid]

Lower it...that's the best style for it's buck...the car looks amazing once droped...i'd also remove your side moldings...i did on my P5 and feel it was the best styling cue i've done to date!!

GXLs comment

he is just being a little b**** since I blasted his ass in another forum here .. he is one of those dickheads that like to rag on everyones ride and he reminds me of all the kids that started to say "NOZ" every change they could instead of Nitrous Oxide as soon as Fast and the Furious came out .. because it ws teh "kool thing" so .. pay no mind to ignorance over there ... you will find him saying "rice" in every one of his posts to someone about there s*** .. and if im not mistaken .. i think his ride is stock ... so who is the rice one now lol

 

[dj5tyle5]

is he referring to my car as rice???how is it rice when i want to lower it...ohh well....does anybody know how much it will cost to lower my car....the dealer i got it from is willing to do it but i dunno for how much yet...they will also put a full cat back or whatever...i dunno
