es-gt? whats the gt?

The ES-GT is basicaly like a Proteg 5 sedan*: 5-nuts wheels, sun roof, a/c, ABS, electric doors and rear disc brakes. There's the rear spoiler but I have the MSP 03 instead.

*I know all P5 don't have a/c and sunroof together.

except for the whole sedan part

ES-GT didn't come with a front strut bar, nor the same sort of rear bumper the P5 had, or the nicer front bumper with the round fogs, or side skirts.

ES-GT is basically the Canadian version of the USDM ES. Our regular ES is the same as the US LX. Kinda dumb how they went and confused all the trim levels.

Ahh yeah: I forgot about the dress-up kit like the Proteg5... it's really just like a fully-loaded ES with 5 nuts on each wheel and 4 disc brakes.

Ya, I believe a sunroof was still an option for the ES-GT, but it was pretty much fully loaded with all options available.

In 2002, maybe 2001 too, it has everything. In 2003 tho, sunroof was an option.

yeah i bought the wrong gaskets. i bought some from mienike(sp) and they were to big. i relize the new flanges are the same size as factory flanges(tight squeeze) so im going to by 3 new factory exhaust gaskets and cut the inside out to a 3 inch.

Hello all. After months of car shopping and deliberation, I've just picked up an '03 Protege ES. I just thought I'd post a picture of it and say hello; I've been checking out these forums for the past couple weeks and am happy to have finally joined. Unfortunately I have no shots without the winter steels on (Canadian winters FTW) because I bought it this month, but I can't wait to get those alloys on it.

First things first, I'm taking it into a shop to have the engine fine tuned and fix any parts that are high on wear. Then it's off to the detailing shop to get all of the small dents and rough spots removed and refinished.

My 2000 Protege LX I inherited from my wife, but we bought it new in Feb 2000. No major mods yet. Just my daily driver, right now on these gold rims just with snow tires as I drive all day for a living. K&N filter is about it. Rear sway bar and Tokico struts and springs going on in the Spring. Black headlights and corners, with Polaris yellow H4 bulbs.
