Project MSP Wannabe begins!

[D-rock240]

I'm really happy, I won an ebay auction selling the MSP bumper and lip, sideskirts and rear lip. See attached pics.

I will update this thread with pictures once I get everything mounted and painted, I can't wait!(cool)


Edit: Here's a couple before pics, completed pics on post #87

Thanks, from you that's a big compliment. Your car is one of the ones I've been looking at for a few days thinking, I should buy the kit and do the swap.

I was estatic when the price was only 300 +sh, although I still got a good deal.

the front bumper alone new is 250, you got yourself a GREAT deal


thanks for teh compliment bro

Sweet!

Yeah, I can't get rid of the grin on my face, I've had it since the auction ended

That looks like the beginning of a great Mazdasled.

the MP3 bumper looks awsome, great improvement over the stock smiley face

Thanks, I haven't seen a Shimmering Sand Mica 03.5 MSP yet so I may be the first!

Yeah that looks great! Is that an Autoexe grill? I will need to get an upper grill, splash guards, and bumper rebar plus some small stuff. I will probably get rid of the lower grill mesh that's on it and get a stock lower grill. I'm also going to have the front bumper and lip painted separately, in case I decide to sell the lip down the road and go for the MP3 look.

The funny thing is I was ready to buy some ES fogs last week. I'm glad someone else bought them first.

looks awesome, I'm only a rear skirt away from my conversion

 

[marshall-BJ-VE]

good this first step to your conversion... then a turbo setup later...

wow! I can't believe I didn't see this thread earlier.

D-Rock I think you will be the first on the forums to do a complete "Shimmering Sand Mica MSP"
I've seen one only with an msp front bumper and looked real good. I like the 03.5 style the best which will look even more sleek than the 03 stance, but thats just my opinion! Good luck bro cant wait for the final pics. I am getting all my 03.5 parts painted sometime early next week so look out for my thread with pics.

I saw that auction and thought to myself.....that's a great deal....good job!

 

[Donny]

An auction that had the entire kit?! Awesome find man!

Good luck on the project!

Thanks Sands, do you have any pics of that? I haven't been able to find any. I'm hoping to have the kit on and painted by the end of next month. The 03.5 lip really makes the car look more aggressive, I like your swap too. Any chance you will be bringing the speed up here anytime soon? A photoshoot would be cool!

Yeah, my jaw dropped when I first saw it on Sunday. I told myself that if it wasn't up to $600 by Tuesday I would go for it. The seller apparently didn't know what they had either, they listed the front bumper and lip as one piece

Thanks Blade. I was going to go for the mp3 look like you but since I essentially got the lip for free with the bumper, I might as well use it. Plus I think the front MSP lip makes it look more aggressive than the mp3.

unfortunately no pics because it was somewhere in nothern miami dade and drove by while i was at a stoplight riding shotgun in my friends honda.

It would be cool to drive up in september because my cousin is getting married, but not sure yet.
