2) depends on what you consider pricey, here is an example : http://mazda3online.web.aplus.net/product_info.php?products_id=409

3) thats a removable adhesive molding

4) i think so, and i own a site that proves it : Http://www.protegegarage.com
 
alright and what about making the tires bigger...those 14 inch tires won't do..so bigger rims and bigger tires...will this affect anything...and your site is great..i'll make sure to be purchasing from there sometime soon.

be sure to drop us a line any time with any questions. as for wheels and tires, as long as you keep the same outside diameter measurements, not much should be affected. going too large will negatively affect acceleration, accurate gauge readings on the speedometer, and perhaps stopping. it won't be a terrible change but it all depends on the size you go with
 
well i'm thinking 17 inch rims are the ones I saw on the speed model..and I want it to look as fresh as possible..so you think that will do on an '03 DX Protege?

you have four lug hubs so the five lug rims like on the mazdaspeed will not fit
