Mazda Protege Owner Photos

damn donny... u only make it harder for me to keep from buying the oem sedan front lip... why couldnt they just put those on our cars????

i want it so bad...
 
Yes, I've defintely been staring at Sanspeed's car a lot the last couple of weeks. wondering if mine will look as good as that. And then I got to thinking, s*** I don't want to blatenly copy the guy, but then I saw he swapped wheels so Ifigured it was my sign to get them! lol. Yup I have steelies and winter tires sitting in the shed. Went myfirst winder with the stock dunlops, learned real quick that was a bad idea. Last winter I bought a pair of Michlien Icx-X and it was a world of difference.

02Protege, haha, sorry man. Should get it, it looks so great and feels so good!

LiversProtege - Looks good, really like the 03.5 wing, where did you get it/how much was it?

I got the 3 piece wing off of Ebay for about $200. The seller I bought it from was out of Miami. It came painted any color and it has a red led light.

Ah, well the drop fits perfectly! Have just heard a lot of people advise against it.

As for the valve cover, you can paint it youself, here's 1 how to:

I believe there are a few more on the site, just gotta search.

People usually sell them quite frequently also - Ken from protegegarage had 2 red ones for sale and they turn up every so often in the FS section and Ebay.
 
yea like donny said, i painted myself
so easy... remove, degrease, paint with 500 degree enamel... (advanced auto for 5 bucks!), let dry over night, then i sanded off the letters... its hot as hell!!!

Didn't notice the sanded letters, that's a great detail!

I'll admit I was skeptical about putting in aftermarket foglights in the sedan bumper, but that looks very clean. Drop it and remove the side molding, and you're set.
