pics of mp3 conversion

I have the front bumper done, but not the side skirts yet. here are pics of the front:

edit: i just noticed the two big drops of bird s*** on the hood.....note that I DID NOT wash the car after installing the bumper.....too dark and i was too tired..

thanks, i like it

Sweet! It looks like its coming a long nicely. When do you expect the side skirts, and how much did you pay for everything?

 

[wannabe]

well i got a really good hookup, im not sure if i can really post the prices, cuz the guy basically gave me cost.....but it was well under 1000 for everything shipped
ive got the side skirts sitting in my garage, just didnt have time last night to put them on, it requires drilling and stuff, and after the bumper it got pretty dark....

Cruzin? Is that you? heheh!
Seriously though, looks great!

 

[Jeph]

Did they ship you the rear bumper too? I've heard thats the hardest piece to find.

 

[wannabe]

no, but i could have gotten it, he didnt have it in stock,but would have ordered it for me....the price of that rear piece would have been more than the side skirts, so i decided to wait for now, besides i kinda like the msp rear bumper, so maybe i'll get that one....

 

[Jeph]

Cool, doesn't it look funny if you have the front and side skirts, but nothing in the back?

 

[Volley2six]

Jon,
It looks great. I'm assuming you got the front bumper painted right? If so, where'd you get it done?

 

[wannabe]

I dont know how it will look with no back bumper lowering....i know its gonna look kinda funny, but i dont think it will be horrible....im thinkin im going to con my parents into getting the rear bumper/bumper skirt for me for my birthday in August

yeah, a local shop did the painting for $200, the name of the place is Excalibur Auto Body, in Wickliffe, OH...great place.....but only if you have like 2 weeks to kill.....

 

[bazooka joe]

looks great!! it took me 5 days to have the body shop return my car after painting the front bumper.

Good job. Check mine out.

 

[wannabe]

yeah i recieved the parts on a friday when i wasnt working, so i immediatly went out to get estimates...Excalibur quoted me 200 and said they were backlogged, but to drop it off the following tuesday. i specifically asked how long it would take, and they said a day or so....
so i drop it off tuesday morning at 8am, and wait. on wednesday when i hadnt heard anything i called them, to find that it hadnt been touched yet, but he said they would get to it thursday...call back thursday, nothing....finally got it back yesterday...after a week and a half...

 

[wannabe]

Good job. Check mine out.

no rear skirt on your right? looks great still!

nice car man

I notice a trend with the silver Proteges...I count 3 already...(hmm)

 

[wannabe]

i think thats just cuz theres more of us on the roads.....its kinda dissappointing to know that there are that many....but the color looks damn good

 

[black_rob00]

No rear bumper spoiler yet. Wing on its way.
