Throw Some 18's On That B@#$%

[99 Pro]

Haven't posted up any pics in awhile, and there have been some changes to the old 1999 Protege. Shaved the side mouldings, installed the 01-03 Mazda Front Air Dam, and sold my old 17's for these new 18's. Definately love the looks of the car with the 18's on (I am dropped on Tein S-Techs and Tokico HP's).....fills the wheel wells just prefectly. I still have to install my 99/00 fogs, then my exterior will be complete.

So here are the new pics:

Looks mighty fine if I do say so myelf. Great stance. Fogs and front window tint and you're set!

Technically it's "removed" side moldings. Looks great!

Paint the front lip... otherwise it looks great.

4 lug? I assume its not a factory msp then?

Always though 18's would look ridiculously big on a protege but these dont look bad at all.

Pretty sure he just put a MS badge on it. They definitely didn't make a MSP in that style besides the red concept.

Looking good 99pro, the wheels compliment the car well. And wingless FTW!

Nope, never been red.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I really like the looks of the 18's alot......like I said before they are the prefect size IMO. Also, I just put that Mazdaspeed badge on the back....it is not really an actual Mazdaspeed. I just liked how it looked.

Like I said before, I just got to install my factory fog lights then I'll be finished with the exterior. I'll tackle the interior more next.

Oh ya, I would love to tint the front windows as well, but it is illegal to do so where I am from. Maybe some very light tint I could get away with, but I would probably just get hassled.

So Fresh&So Clean.Work on your interior and loose the tint so everyone can see you(drive2)

Thanks. Funny thing is that when I had my 17's my drop didn't look even to me. But now with the 18's it does......weird.
