Mazda Protege Owner Photos

But to decide me i want to see some pictures cause import the bumper is not cheap ;) Than in Germany i need a difficult technical acceptance (expensive, too)!

it looks good. How is the quality and the fitting?

PS: Is it on the picture with original suspension or setting lower?

Is it the original grille?

Can't say, I got mine from extreme dimensions. Mine had poor quality and ok fitment but the AIT one might be a lot better, or worse.
 
The problem i also have, is that i'm afraid about the "deepness" of the bumper to ground against the serial bumper. Is the bumper much deeper than the original bumper?

Sorry for my bad english
 
Yeah, thats the place.

Trust me, i did the "hit the curb test" with my front bumper, it shattered & I wasn't going even close to that fast.

So unless they overhauled there "duraflex" since last year, they're full of s***.

I know that guy talking with the white car, I live in that area. That is a waste of a lancer.
 
No worries. To me, it is unfortunate that this car wasn't taken care of by the previous owner. I had no quarter panel rust until after I bought the car...then I discovered a shoddy repair job. Oh well. I picked the wrong car.

Yes, buying another used car scares me. I was fairly lucky with this car. There is a magnitude of things that can be wrong with a used car that you might not pick up on right away.

I agree but if you make a check list and check everything before you get the car I dotn see their being any problems. The rust issue could of been caught if he had checked under it and not just around the wheel wells, door jams, cab corns, ect, ect, ect.
 
Nah its not as bad as I make it seem, but I guess I'm just tired of the damn thing not running right for the last several months. Ya know? Ya ever get in those moods when you just wanna shove your car into traffic and claim the GAP insurance on it? lol But anyway, I guess you guys have convinced me to keep the Sand Mica maybe add some flake into it or something. If you can find a pic of Drake's car with the kit on it and post it in here that would be awesome. I don't really have much time to go searching for it in between guard shifts. Thanks guys! And I got the kit from a guy in Knoxville, TN he bought it for his P5 and they sent him a Sedan kit so he just let the kit sit in his garage for a year and he since then has sold his P5 and just wanted it outta the garage so I bought it off him for like $185 or $175 something like that. But its brand new in the box I had a pic of it....if I can find it I'll post it up on here for ya'll.

Hey D-rock240 sent me a PM saying you were interested in what a Sand Mica protege would look like with a BC2 kit on. Here is my vvvveerry old cardomain site. Click here. Please ignore the gay vinyl flames.. (didn't really have good friends at the time (notcool)) If you have any questions about it shoot me a PM.

Thanks Drake for the link, the car doesn't look too bad other than the rice additions to the car (ie. neons, graphics,etc). do you have any better or more clear pics of the car? That aren't on the car domain page?

Dub - after reviewing your car some more I think that it is just the fact that you're runnin the stock wheels and thats why it didn't look like other cars with the same suspension setup. My apologies. If it makes you feel any better, your car was the inspiration for me to paint my car white lol. If infact I don't stay with the Sand Mica lol.
 
Dub - what kinda rims are that in the pic of your car with the BC2 kit? They look pretty good, I have been having a hell of a time trying to find some good looking rims for this car, that go well with the Sand Mica. So far I am basically in love with the Rota SubZero's and the Motegi LC5's which I'd love to get my hands on some of those because they are only 15lbs a piece.

No problem, ya the graphics were a bit much. I took them off after 6 months of having them on. Like I mentioned before, those are some really old pics. Here are a few when I took them off.

But I'll give anyone fair warning right now. Fiber glass is brittle, I'd highly recommend putting a clear bra on the front bumper. I had to redue mine twice. Once because of rock chips, the other because I hit a 18 wheeler tire going 60mph. So execpt about 300-400 in repairs each time. At this point, I don't see myself putting any kind of body kit on another car agian. It does look damn sexy, but you'll find yourself with more of a headache because of all the chips and cracks that come from it.
