Does anyone know if the Buddy Club 2 kit fits the 1999 Protege? It says on their website (buddyclub2), that this kit only fits the 2001-2004 Protege. I thought that the Protege was the exact same car (3rd gen) from 1999-2004, with the only difference being the front lights. Can someone help me out? Thanks.

 

the front end is different, fenders, hood , lights, you need to whole font end, they are supposed to be making it for the 99-00 though ...

 

But the rear, and sides should work right?

 

yes, but what are you gonna put on the front? they are making it for the 99-00 soon if you can wait ...

 

ooh,ooh! buddy club sides and rear,sport 20 bumper and auto exe lip...that would look BADASS!!!

 

im not positive ... but my friend has the buddy club 2 kit on his cavalier ... the kit is really low, i dont think the front bumper +lip would come close to lining up with it.

 

look at a sport 20 bumper with auto exe lip first before making that statement

 

Hey, where can you buy that Sport 20 front bumper? Is it a simple replacement of the old front bumper, to the Sport 20 one?

 

corksport.com...and yes it is a direct replacement on a 99-00 protege...although there is a slight fitment issue with splash guards,slight modification will fix it though

 

i almost bought it , i have looked at it, it lines up with the mp3 sides and rear, which i can guarantee the buddy cllub 2 kit is a lot lower than.

 

once again when you add the autoexe lip it is lower in the front

 

once again i am looking at it with the lip on it, lets go over it this way, i have th stock front bumper with a lip which sits about the same height as the autexec lip on the sport20 bumper, my friends cavalier with the buddyclub 2 kit sat the same height as mine off the ground when we lowered them, now since he has the buddy club 2 kit and i have the lip kit, i cant fit my foot under his car but i can lay under mine .... it wont line up.

 

You are making a bad comparison....first of all the sport 20 bumper sits lower than the stock bumper and the autoexe lip goes lower than the Mazda one....second you are comparing a cavalier with a protege...2 different ride heights, 2 different body kits...buddy club doesnt make just one body kit and adapt it to different makes and models....3rd is your friends cavalier lowered?? Is yours?? I have seen the buddy club sideskirts installed on a protege...It WILL line up

 

Does the Auto EXE lip fit on the stock front bumper? Thanks for the info dudes!

 

no.
