thanks everyone. i got the DGM CF lip but since i prefer my car to be all one color (no offense fizzle), i color matched it.

painting the struts was fun. i took them out, sanded them down, and painted them over. do you like it? it handles better now by a lot.

fizz... i should be back in cali for a few days over the summer to visit the folks. i'll try to make a hwy 9 run with you guys. they live in san jose, so it's just a hop and a skip away from the 9. i'm sure we can meet up sometime. bring the camera though. i don't have one.

What kind of wheels? I didn't think mesh wheels would look good on a Protege, but I like yours. (thumb)

 

[tonkabui]

thanks. they're just exel radius wheels in gunmetal.

i had a bunch of people helping me and i dont think it took more than 2 hours. i got great coverage though, you can hardly tell its painted. it looks like it came that way.

Looks pretty good... especially with those wheels! I'd rather have the Mazda emblem silver though... hehe.(band2)
