NEWBIE....2003 Protege LX

[blueprotegelx]

Hey guys...i'm new to the site and tryin to learn a lot about these cars. I just bought my '03 protege on the 24th...it came with an awesome package. haha...lowering springs, 17" white motegi mr7's, short shifter, ractive sri, arospeed dress up engine kit, cf ebrake handle and bezel, reverse glo gauges, altezzas, muffler....let me know what ya'll think and what kind of modifications i can do to make this car quicker. so far i've been able to find performance products such as: udp, header, cams, cam gears, exhaust, ground wires, and senorcorwin told me about the mp3 ecu...

lookin good. I would personally ditch those taillights and get some vinyl overlays or use nightshades to tint them.

good lookin car, lose the tail lights and get some stockers, yellow is a lil much under the hood. That exhaust you asked about would look good there, just as long as it instlled right, not all hangin and off set.

Great start, good luck
