Some New Pics Of My Protege..

I have alot of pics and some close-ups of my Protege at http://323.itgo.com , my site.. it has annoying pop-ups dont mind them..

pics of my 2000 Mazda Protege DX and my controversial speedy 93 Hyundai Elantra GLS

within the description of each car you just click next to each component to see the close ups (the links to pics are very obvious)

give me some feedback

thanks..

Umm well I got a question. If you want your license plate to say "NOT-MP3", then why the hell do have one MP3 seat, and MP3 floor mats? I'm not tryin to be a dick, you just asked for feedback, and it seems like you may be a little confused, but hey its your ride, and its all good. I was just giving feedback. Honestly man, I would ditch the one seat, it looks kinda corny, and the MP3 floormats need to go too. Don't fake the funk on what you got. Take what you have and make it nice, not something it isn't. It would be like if I stuck a an "R" badge right behind the Protege 5 badge on the back of my car. . Or kinda like those whacky MP5 badges people are makin for their P5's. Its not a damn MP5, and don't try to make it look like an MP3 hybrid wagon....GHEY!!!!. I dunno, just some thoughts, like I said please don't take it personal.

hehehe, well.. the drivers seat I came upon purchasing because of this forum within the past 2 weeks.. unfortunately nobodys willing to ditch both seats in the MP3 for me

main reason for ghetto seating arrangement (one mp3 seat) is.. I don't know if you've ever been in a DX Protege but the DX seats suck.. now with the car finally handling good with 16s and all that the seat is the limiting factor and in my old DX drivers seat I couldn't corner comfortably at any extremes, I didn't feel nice cornering at 90 degrees at more than say 25mph.. the MP3 seat is simply awesome.. its an ES/P5 seat .. AND THEN SOME! I can corner at ease now, plus its mad adjustable and nice on the highway.. which is very important for me I cruise around ALOT.. (got the elantra to try to split off the mileage)

the floormats, well.. my other mats were dirty and the MP3 ones were cheap so I couldn't resist.. yeah they might leave the car for most occasions but they're new and they're in.. haha

plates.. no idea what I'm gonna do..

you havent offended me

thanks for the comments..

I can attest to those dx seats ,, they are like wood,, with adjustments,. i just put some seat coves over mine , until I can get a set of reclinable racing seats,. At that point the factories will go into storage, ..
there is nothing wrong with an mp5 badge , hey converting your pro to jspec or any car to jspec is the move right now ,. look at any civic out there and you will see this,, I personally am on the verge of trying to convert my pro 2nd gen to or as close to a jspec familia as I can

Yeah but you guys make fun of all the ricers that put Type R badges on their **** when its a stock frickin Honda, or people that put Acura emblems on Hondas and vice versa. So what's the difference in perpetratin a p5 like its an MP5? Its no different, just different cars, same fake *** concept though in my opinion.

I agree. I don't recommend the NOT-MP3 license plate. The 323F is fine though. Anyway, update us when you get some more mods.

the bosal may be a little off center due to the installation that was done (leaving the second cat. on until emissions comes up, then i'll drop it for 2 years)..

it looks appropriate in real life, it never looks right in pictures from a standing up behind the car view

E-mail me at CrazyBowy@hotmail.com.

I find the car looks good, keep up the work and let us all know what else you do to her.

Yes I realize that the p5 is a Mazda Protege 5, I have yellow a one. BUT>>> IT IS NOT BADGED THAT WAY!!! You don't call an MP3 a Protege 3 do you? Hell no, so why in the funk would you call a Protege 5 an MP5? Its no different than puttin a Honda badge on an Acura. I mean Honda makes Acura, BUT ITS NOT A DAMN ACURA!!!!!
