What have you done to your P5 today?

[AlturredMP5]

i change my own oil, clean my own windshield, top my own fluids, and vacuum my own interior. its actual work that i dont do myself, except changing my valve cover gasket eventually.

a lady my dad works with took her brand new 350z to walmart to have the oil changed and they forgot to add the oil. yeah, they ended up getting her a new 350z. the manager actually tried to give her a free oil change, until his subpeona arrived in the mail.

I don't really want to put the "mazda" or the "protege5" emblems back on.... Any way to fill the holes without a full hatch repaint?!

Closest you can do (and I saw a thread on it around here somewhere) is to plug the holes with very low profile plastic inserts (plugs) and hit them up with some touch up paint. Or pay 1000% more for these (however ... very clean looking): http://www.bumperplugs.com/BPindex.html

I just don't know if the MSM one will cover the holes.

It does

 

[Bala]

Ill have mine smooth please...

You need my hidden bolt plate mod to schmoove it mo!

 

[Bala]

Nope, doesn't cover the holes... at least not completely. I bought the MSM badge specifically for that purpose, but alas it was not meant to be. I ended up using it on my front grille for a while, but ended up taking it off & now it's just sitting on the sidelines.

Doh! I thought someone did this sucessfully ... Ignore my previous post.

[CTt3P5]

we should start a dealership.. between denying warranty work and charging 7 dollars for a copper spark plug, we could make a KILLING!

I may have 20 new triple chrome plated McGards for $20 + shipping ... just have to find out if another member still wants them ...

 

[kudakev615]

for basic maintance and parts that can be bought from local parts stores then the dealership is a rip off. if your looking for heavy engein work or indepth engein diagnostics then id see where paying the extra premium for the dealerships is worth it.

the mcgard nuts are pimp.. they make really nice stuff. they're also about 40 minutes away from me so if I ever lose my key again instead of ordering one I'll just go there and have them make me one

I've been holding them for the buyer ... That's still a good price you paid.
