My 1991 Protege SE-GT

[Bizob]

Wassup everybody! This is my first post. I've been browsing for a while and you guys seem like a good bunch. Lots of really nice cars on this board! I figured I'd post some pics of my ride for you guys to see that I too am a die-hard Protg fan. I almost sold her a month ago, but Monica (that's my car's name) is here to stay.

Here are the pics:

Nice to see you again I used to see you all the time over at protegeclub.

(thumb) SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!

 

[Bizob]

thanks.


I posted this on another site, but I was looking into changing the color of my car. I would like some suggestions to help me with my decision. I might be interested in something extreme (like orange, but not the Mazdaspeed orange, 'cause it'll be too common...) something subtle, like silver....

Anyways, I'd appreciate any ideas or suggestions you might have. Paint codes would be great.... so I can actually see the color for myself. And if you've got pictures, post 'em please!

To all those from the Protegeclub website, sorry for repeating myself, I'm just looking for some new ideas, and to see if my tastes match everyone else's....

Thanks for the welcome!

As for the wing, I want to keep the var looking clean. I hate wings, but I as thinking of installing a speed sensitive VW Corrado wing:

That, and I will be getting a back bumper for it...


So any suggestions for a color?????

 

[Pro5OnSpeed]

Interesting Rear Bumper Photoshop you made.

 

[Bizob]

Interesting Rear Bumper Photoshop you made.

Obviously, it IS a photoshop... I should have mentionned it now trhat I think of it..... sorry.... But that's the kit I will be having made... pretty much exactly... I'm not sure if I'll be getting a new muffler or not though.... I am kinda tired of the DTM muffler....

As for the hot pink, I'll consider it, but probably not...:wtf:
