Least favorite Mod?

Least favorite mod...hmm...would have to be that half ass job I did on my DX reinforcement to get the MSP front bumper cover to fit. Ken is there any way you could possibly get me the MSP bumper reinforcement, along with side and rear skirt? Oh, I think I need MSP front fender wells too, mine are tie wraped to the bumper cover lol.

yeah i can get the reinforcement, its heavy and not cheap though :( fender liners are about $60 each

Yeah, I know it wasnt gonna be cheap, thats why I have my hacked up DX one. I was thinking its probably gonna be around $600-$700(before shipping) for all the stuff I listed above, and I just dont have that to spend right now:( Ive seen the fender liners on another site for about $45 each, but thats not shipped. Its just the fact that I could spend the same amount on the engine and suspention and really make a difference, where as half of the things I listed are hidden anyways. I really think the MSP reinforcement will make my bumper cover sit better, I have a few gaps and the only reason why my grill fits is because a tab is broken off lol.
 
msp bumper reinforcement probably = ridiculously expensive. Get the Protege5 one, it's the same (that is.. if there's even a different part number for it).

nothin wrong with tie-wraps. My fender liners and under-engine covers are ziptied in for right now because my hot charge pipe is kinda crappy and sticks down so I had to bend the cover around it and it doesn't quite reach the holes to screw in anymore.
 
For a big heavy thing like the bumper reinforcement I'd honestly try something like a junkyard.. I know somewhere down south, maybe it's in GA not FL though, there's a Mazda-only junkyard. I'm sure you can find a junkyard with a Protege5 somewhere near you, they aren't all that uncommon of a car.

Well I was trying to figure in the side and rear skirts, reinforcement, and liners. If we can work out some kinda deal just PM me, I am out of a job at the moment and that wont help lol.

Thanks, but in person I have some gaps under my lights and the cover isnt sitting right because its hitting the front of my reinforcement and my grill doesnt fit right. I love the MSP look on the front end, I think it really needs to be completed all the way around though. Im sure I could go without the liners, but im using my DX ones tie wraped across the gaps lol.

Thats acually a good idea, I looked around at the yards first for foglights when I was shopping, I didnt even think of that though. Now that I have the week off ill go look around, theres a few yards around here, anyone kill their P5 lately? lol
 
I sure hope not.. though that doesn't help your quest at all haha. If you find a sunlight silver P5 you could even snag the painted mirror covers and maybe the door handles.. though I think the exterior door handles would be quite a bit harder to removed... hey and sideskirts if they are in good condition.

Dude, it would be so awesome to find a sunlight silver P5 that got totaled by rear ending someone, I could snag the mirror covers, the door handles, the side and rear skirts, maybe some interior trim, the power window and mirror stuff. But of course that would mean the reinforcement would be shot lol.


EDIT...im a dumbass...rear skirt from P5 wont work lol
