You got away cheap but you still need a few things too. I just wanted to get mine done so I went all new.
well I got the front bumper and the bumper support free, the side skirts for 50 bucks, and the rear for 75, 50 for the springs and 250 for the struts. I'm not doing any wing, I like the wingless look better. I am getting rid of the side markers once I can afford them to be covered... I don't like the msp front lip, that is why i went with the fog lights. I might however get the DG lip or however it's called. paint wasn't added to the cost, with paint I paid about 1k...

Just paint the parts and put them on . You do have to drill holes on the rockers thats the scariest part.

Cool, this will be a good project once I get the money, I'm a poor college student right now, but I'm saving up. Love my protege 5sp, fun to drive, but it'd be alright if I could stand out.

Drilling the holes for the wing scared me the most. If you screwed up, everyone would see it, or the wing would be off-centered.Laser03pro said:Just paint the parts and put them on

At the time when I purchased my parts Protege Garage wasn't even around. But in answer to your question.... Yes, buying from Protege Garage would be the best way to go if you are looking for new parts.
I agree with you... my goal is to have my es look like a 3.5 MSP but it won't run like it since its a DAMN AUTO(bang)
Nah, I don't manually do it to third... but i have can control the shifting usually.. then sometimes i have a heavy foot hahaha..
a V8 would be nutter...
I actauly had a MSP motor with manual tranny ready to buy for 2,300 the guy sold it for 3,000 (jackass)
i miss my old ES Protege with the mp3/03 msp kit....
oh wait my car is a TON faster now
well nice of you to rube it in my face (321fu) j/k...
Well by next year i am thinking of going for a ms6 or looking for a 3.5 msp..
