where to start!?!

I have a '03 mp5 . I redid all the audio and was tryin to figure out what to do next . Is there some kind of order stuff sould be put on or do I just go crazy and load up the platnum. I've been
tryin to be different and I want to do alot of it myself. So if anyone can throw out some pointers,I'd be grateful.

Are you wanting to upgrade the look, or performance, or both. From reading here, There are many stages of both that can be done. Done well and unique.

BTW, when you "redid all the audio" did you happen to replace that Mazda spare tire sub? If you did, I would be glad to take it off your hands, I have an '02 mp5, that does not have one!

I would also suggest de-molding the car it gives it a really clean look.

What about downforcers or maybe even another body kit. Know of any new ones out. I'm not sure if I want to go crazy with the carbon fiber. I've been checking out some of that too. Maybe even some graphics. I got the hook-up on that.

About the downforcers www.dgmotorsports.com makes some in carbon fiber. There are a couple of bodykits that are out www.corksport.com has some of the JDM bodykits and then you also have www.buddyclub2.com that came out w/ a new kit for the Mazda Protege 5. www.wingswest.com has a kit that mostly fits the protege sedan but you can use the sideskirts and front bumper on the P5.

Dude , my bad. all those answers were from you. thanks!
You got a p5. Got any pics you'd like to show off.
I'm tryin to be the 1ST p5 out here hooked up. I just can't
find enough time in a day to do it. I even thought of findin a good shop but there are'nt any really this way.
But thanks for all the answers.

No prob I like to help, I have a whole bunch of pics but it would take me a long time to upoad them up on to this site. If you want to check out my car click here- My P5 or under my post where it says (www) . Around where I live I have the only P5 that is hooked up but then again they are not to many P5's where I live . Yeah hooking up your car takes time especially for me I like to get a mental picture of what I want to do and do everything very carefully and meticulous so that It all comes out awsome in the end.
