nice, i like the chevron's - you need a front air dam now

Heres a couple of mine doing what it does best =)

just changed my stock springs for MSP ones...

sorry, the car it's not clean... in page 81 you can see the difference before and after the springs were installed.

Thanks man. I've been eyeing those lips for quite a while, but I know as soon as I get one on there, I'm gonna break it to pieces on my driveway.

 

[njaremka]

they are actually pretty durable - i have wacked mine on the curb a few times already, and you wouldn't know it from looking at it.

will the lip fit on a msp?

 

[njaremka]

um, no? it will fit the 99-00 sport20 front bumper, though. if you want one to test fit, the group buy price is pretty low. (considering mazda sold these for $300-ish)

 

[Kansei]

I bet it wouldn't take much modding to get it fitting on the Protege5/MP3/MSP bumper.

 

[GhostMercury]

cause i dont like my 03.5 lip and plan to take it off when i have the tip. but i want a lip to add more to the bumper so its level with the side skirts.

 

[Kansei]

The stock msp lip doesn't "add more" to the bumper.. it was a tacked on afterthought, the sideskirts were designed for the MP3/Protege5 bumper anyway.

 

[GhostMercury]

no im saying thats what i want to do

 

[Kansei]

I was saying that you don't at all need a lip to meet up with the sideskirts. It flows perfectly without a lip. I don't think the sedan sideskirt "hangs down" much, so it probably wouldn't screw that up like the DG lip does.

Really? I thought they were fiberglass...must be abs plastic then, huh? I love the way they look, I just don't want to be picking up shards of fiberglass the first time I back out of my driveway. =) So I understand you have a GB on these then? May have to take a look into that. =)

 

[njaremka]

they are the same material as the front bumper, and very flexible. think "OEM accessory" durable

Well I finally had time to install my SRI last night. Sounds great and there's a small performance gain. Pics:

 

[red95_240sx]

aww man u got the weapon-r. i just took mines off it sprung a leak somewhere. hows it run?

if you find a different coupler, or just put the tubing in further, you can get a better fitment, and get the filter farther away from that hot pipe. the weapon-r coupler has a stopper in it to keep the tubing straight towards the manifold.

 

[Jester236]

I know you said to avoid the weapon-r's but it's been great for me. I had zero install issues, fitment was great and it runs well. Of course only time will truly tell.

As far as the filter, its farther away from the pipe than what the picture looks like. I tried moving my battery over a bit to gain a little room but that didn't help. Fits fine, and I don't think i will run into an issues over that.
