those are the same i got, u have to buy new struts. The coilover is actually smaller that the stock spring in diameter, so after u put them on u get squeaking and popping noises. I havent got new struts yet but its on my to-do list...

Very nice Protege LX99. How hard was it too make the P5 front bumper fit onto the 99 body style?

Car looks good so far. Im interested to see how everything turns out when you're done. I do wanna ask you about your eyelids though. What are those made of? Looks like vinyl? How is your light output with those on? If they aren't vinyl, what are they made of and how did you get yours to "sticK" to your lamps?

Yes that's made of fiberglass

I took off the side skirts for the winter because I don't want to broke them in the snow and with my drop. Here in Quebec, winter is hard !

As soon as I paint the bumper this winter, I'll post pictures, don't worry ! I'm also very interested to see the final result with side skirts and 17" rims !

About the eyelids, yes they are made of vinyl. No problem with the lightning. A little bit lower and the lighting would be affect

I finally ordered that stock mazda lip for my protege. Well see how the fitment is on it finally lol.

Those side skirts wont break, they are uretheane, Theyll give way, But it'd be a smart choice to take that fiberglass bumper off for the winter though.

What is the website for your Protege club in Quebec? Interested in picking up one of those bumpers.

Here is a link to the topic of the guy who had them made.(ABP2000) I believe he still has a few for sale. I don't know if he speaks english, if he doesn't I can help out translating.

I know they won't break, I just don't want to scratch the paint. It takes 10 min to remove the side skirts

Can you talk to him, or ask him for me if he has any left? I don't speak french at all, so I can't even understand how to sign up on the Quebec Protege board cause I don't understand the words.

I sent him PM. He should contact you if he has any left I suppose. Maybe you should leave your email so that he won't have to clutter this thread.
