Much more like minus the pin stripe, with color matched grill, lip and bronze wheels and excellently done KL swap. Congrats
 
Thanks everyone. The car is always changing in little and big ways each year. In the next few weeks we should be getting to the 5-lug swap with MZ6 front brakes and 626 rear brakes. Along with that will come new wheels!
 
One of my favorite Proteges. Congrats man! Your car makes me wish the MSP were available in red...
 
Wow, datz insane! a KLZE Protege W@@T W@@T ! talk about a sleeper ;)
 
Congrats, been a lot of work into that car for sure. And probably one of the most knowledgable guys about protgs around.
 
Congratulations Iukekini i love the V6 Engine conversion and the 2003 Protege dashboard conversion that must of took alot of time and patience to do but good Job man and very inspiring =-) keep up the good work (cabpatch)
