Mazda Protege Owner Photos

yes you,,and as soon as you remove one badge, your car's value will drop by $1500(boom08)

Haha I thought the value would go up because some people would mistake the rear end for a EVO, Mercedes or other upscale sedan with similar taillight design.

On a $4k car, it's gonna lose $1500 in value from removing badges? BS

And thats why you plug the holes and replace them later. So it doesn't matter...
 
its been awhile but I have snapped some new pics of the car. I just got 2004 mazdaspeed miata rims on today so i felt the need to update with photos. let me know what you think.

^Long overdue for new pics. I remember seeing your car a while back and was sold on getting that front lip. I was so close to getting those msm wheels too lol. Nice ride and pics! (2thumbs)
 
yes its just that his car is so new n stuff and I see removing badges as a JDM junkie thing.

JDM junkie thing?? People have been removing badges and shaving bodies for longer than you and I have been alive, combined. In USDM, JDM, and EDM markets...

of course they have, it doesnt matter which market does it. i just see it as a degrading thing, just personal opinion.

I'm liking the MSP kit and love the color :). What's the front look like?

Edit: And your shaved trunk is making me think twice about doing it this summer. I still have the stock emblems on:

thanks man. yeah it has been some time since an update. ha I'm really liking the miata rims and since they are OEM it is a nice clean look. 40mm offset makes them sit more flush now, looks real good.
