So, I'm building again...

[loud3]

I started, then stopped... and now I'm at it again.

Some of you may know me, I'm Nathan. I bought my 2002 Protege5 from the dealership just before Christmas in 2011.

It had some 17x7 MB wheels on it, and everything else was factory.

Drove like this for around 4 months before I started getting a little iffy' on it.

BC Racing coilovers, 17x9 +30 MB Battles wrapped in 205/40/17 Federal SS595's, Magnaflow exhaust and a Kenwood double din touch screen.

Got a little tired of...

so I changed it again...

with 15x8 Slips wrapped in 205/50/15 Dunlop Direzza's, Foglight deletes and roof rack crossbar delete.

Much happier with this...

Next things on my list -

Seibon hood
Corksport undertray
New headlights
DG carbon grill
Fresh paint + bodywork

Car is going in the booth Dec 14th.

Updates coming soon.

looks nice, like the beefy tire look

Have you considered tinting the tail lights? Or painting the headlights housing black?

I'm a big fan of blacking a whole car out, but the rims would look awesome painted white

It looks race prepped more now. I dig that.

I probably won't be tinting the tails, but I am looking into new headlights. Originally thought about going with protege sedan headlights, but I'm going to spend a bit more and keep the P5's dual bulbs. Visually better, and better for retrofits later.

Thanks for all the props guys, more soon!!!

Ordered my seibon hood from crossover auto tonight...

 

[stivine6]

niceee! how did you get the slipstreams to sit so flush like that? What is the offset? are you running spacers?

I'm running 185/60/15 on a 15x6.5 +37 rota slipstream on the sedan and it looks nothing like that!

 

[loud3]

I went with 8" wide wheels, hence the flush.

[Mookhaasa]

Man I can't wait until I have time to start body work.

 

[loud3]

Started spraying the car this morning, took delivery of my new seibon hood, and bought some turbo Goodies...

It's been a good day!

Sub. While you're in paint you should shave off the ugly orange side markers and rear emblems

 

[loud3]

You mean like that?

 

[loud3]

Oh hai guys.
