Hi there, I drive an 02 Protege ES, and I wanna bodykit on it, etc. I was thinking about the Wings West Front Bumper, or the AE front bumper, but I've been hearing a lot of different rumours like:

1) Wings West Front Bumper will NOT fit regular Protege, only the MP3, P5, or MSP.
2) The Auto Exe will NOT fit the regular Protege, only the MP3, P5, or MSP.
3) A P5 bumper WILL fit my regular Protege
4) If I wanted to fit the Wings West/AE bumper, i would have to change my headlights to that of the MP3/P5/MSP in order for it to fit.

After hearing all this, I'm really confused. Can anyone help me clarify or confirm if all these things are true?

Cheers

The problem is not with the headlights, but with the grill and the bumper rebar support, and splash shields. WW now makes a different style bumper that should fit a regular ES. The hood and fenders are the same on all cars. You can swap out the rebar and splash shields with that of a P5 or MP3, then any of the bumpers will work.

 

I've got a friend who just did his front end and sides. Looks amazing!
