At first didn't like, but now it is growing on me.
Get rid of the black door handles, and clear the side marker would make it better. :)
 
I like everything but the lip spoiler on top of the back windshield. The rest looks pretty cool to me. Is that hood scoop functional? if so that's bad ass and time for a ram air intake, if not, it still looks cool, just don't pop your hood
 
and I agree with remillers. Shaved handles would look SWEET, body colored ones would look nice too and help improve the over all look of the car.

nice work though

It doesn't look bad. Not really my style . though , mainly due to me being picky and I would only want my car looking somewhat close to Andy's ...

But that is good that you got those side skirts. but needless to say you still have some parts to get ..

Above are pics of Andy's car ... I have some better ones but they are at home .. and one is on Protegeclubs server :D
 
bruce..actually the hood scoop is andy's. the rest of the kit came from the original mazdaspeed car...a friend sold the car but took the kits off and sold it seperate...Andy's car looks way different that the old ones...he's is now a show car for protegetech philippines...imagine a B6 turbo..wow....even the gas tank is painted and with nice choice of paint...Im still considering getting the 97 jspec bumpers but since this is a daily driver i rather prioritize on my kids safety..the handles and other black trim will be painted eventually...and since andys car is now different theres this car in their group that will make ur jaw drop...its owned by OHMME...black 97 glxi i think with all mazdaspeed stuffs..even the side door trim has stitching of MS...better check their site up..later...thanks
 
tx speed demon....the hood scop is not functional but im trying to see if i can find a way to use it...it came off from a diesel version of familia in japan with intercoolers on top...since i have that some acuras and hondas dont rev their engines as much anymore when they sit next to my car..lol... the rear visor was the first one i got when i went to the Philippines back in 2000...i believe theres only few that has that here in the US...and thats functional....it really blocks the sun from the back passenger...im trying to get as much parts from the Philippines back here for reason that its original and it may not look good to some but i bet no one can even get one...lol...just kidin..at least my airfare ir worth it...i guess ill see you on the next get together. then...i got more that what u saw there....maybe i can even sell some parts..ever seen a radiator cap that has a relief button and j spec..lol..or a mazda speed center cap for aftermarket streering wheel...lol...ill let you see it..later...thanks
 
yeah I have the pics of Andy's car. He sent me a whole slew of them .. I have to put them up on my site, but I am working on some redesigns first.

As for your car, I think it looks nice, but you need a jspec front bumper with a lip . You might as well go with the 95-96 and fill the indicator holes and get the spoiler to go with it. Then those things on your windshield wipers .. I would let them go (my opinion) .. A drop is really in need , no excuses there. even in the roughest road the protege will ride decent with a 2 inch drop.

Once you get that done I think it will be sick . As for the door handles and mirrors. that's a whenever thing, I never did mine lol. and really don't care to .. I will let me turbo talk for that when I get it in ...

This is how I am , I am pretty critical and VERY picky.. I need a set of rims for my car and have the hardest time picking out a set because I constantly find something wrong.
I just try to be as honest as I can about my opinions.

i think it's really damn cool, personally... i don't care for the wing much, but i'm a "stock modder" i like stuff to "look" stock. but it looks excellent!
 
actually this is stock ... this is the mazdaspeed edition of the 2nd gen mazda protege...
so his wing and side skirts are stock ...
here is Andy's car.. I have been in love with it since day 1

That looks pretty good! Im in DESPERATE need of a hook-up for the 95/6 side skirts (I agree, more flavour than the 97/8 sides).
If you can in ANY way hook me up, let me know! I need them to complete my JDM look...
Also, check out my car at www.sounddomain.com/id/kdawgone
Heres a pic of my car at the Darknight Nationals. This is the 95/6 JDM bumper with the turn signals and the liscence plate indent filled. My car has since been hit and the bumper has now been replaced with the 97/8 JDM bumper.

I'm going there this coming winter, maybe i'll pick up some j spec s*** too. werrrd.

are there any kits that look like the mazdaspeed version available for the 1st gen? Is there a way to jimmy rig one to fit?
 
taimaishu..they have access to anything...they have a co member in their club that owns a surplus shop of mostly mazdas...u should check their site up....actually the guy who won the best gen 1 in their mini car show was a j spec if im not mistaken...even if they are regular proteges there u can still get it....like the headlights here are straight headlights...there u get a small kinda like parklight looking thing next to the headlight..and the bumpers are way different...the license plate is at the bumpers and the light go across the back of the car....even has a auxillary lights ala ol camry...before they went with the wedge looking ones now...u should see it i recommend it..and look up the sig of CALOYSKI for more pics....later
 
http://www.protegetech.org/ heres the new site...u will enjoy especially the jdm/jspec guys.....the chairman is andy..hes a cool guy..actually all of them are...the thing u will feel good abt them is their desire to share...andys car was put in a show wisth mosrtly contributions from each member..(part wise)...i guess if u really love what u do u gotta share...watch ohmme's car...i love this car so much wish i can bring it here..lol..the front page of their homepage is a 3rd gen mazda familia(323)..thats the thing thats says in the decal at the back....and its right hand drive...WOW..wish i can get one of those..lol...just surf and enjoy..
 
k dawg..and bruce..so you guys think it will be easier to get the 95-96 jspec bumper and lip than the 97 ones?...i believe corksport dont even offer the lip for it...as per hunters..thats why he told me to bring back one but it was way too big for carry on and i even have to cut the side skirt cos they were charging me 900 bucks extra for it was too long....damn, i had it cut in front of them while i cry..hahaha....but it was all worth the tears...i got them put up right...i might do the 95-96 bumper...hey bruce...do u want the tuned by mazdaspeed emblem u can put it next to ur serial number by the windshiled...it all original and has a serial number....or like what they do they put it in the engine bay some where..ask jonas he has one...im getting andy to briing me one and some mazdaspeed stickers...his uncles coming over on the 14th...i wanna get this car fix up for the next show if not the NOPI...i wanna do my part to represent out club/car,,later
