Talking Check out the new parts from APC for the P5!!!

Go to 4apc.net and click on products then go to the carbon fiber hood section. From there scroll all the way down. There is a P5 drawing with projector headlights(which look good as hell, and Im gonna get them if they come out!!!!!!!), and it looks like a body kit......I really encourage you guys to check it out.

APC has alot of stuff slated for realease this summer if you look through their catalog. All for the Protege5. Including a rear wing, CF hood, Header, Altezzas, Tail light covers (not sure what these are) wiper blade covers, and some other stuff. All stuff they put in their catalog but when you call them, they dont know when it will come out. But, at least they are planning stuff!

I don't know about you guys, but i've NEVER liked APC. That pro they did up wasn't too bad, but their stuff just ain't the **** in my book. Even with simple bulbs.... all their stuff is just cheap IMO. Maybe it's just the HORRIBLE rep they are given down here in the Big-D, but only the ghetto ricers use APC. Even the total ricers don't even use APC. Just never seem to last or quite fit. I wouldn't even buy their clear corners for the pro. Unfortunately after my wreck, the body shop got some for me and i think those are the ones they got. i don't like them at all. I LOVE the ones from www.procarparts.com. Oh well, just had to get that out.

I second this! My Clear Tails have condensation, and the silver-metalic coating is turning brown around the edges.

Its probably gonna start an argument, but I find their parts to be for poor ricers. They feel cheap and I would never put them on my car. Sorry if you have them, its just my opinion.....

I agree with you guys in that their parts are cheap and available at Autozone, but I think it is great that the P5 is finally getting decent aftermarket attention.

I hope lots of parts become available even if they are cheap or ricy. If one company sees another making all kinds of parts and selling them then they will begin to compete as well, and hopefully we will get a stronger aftermarket with some options.

Exactly, very well put. I agree that the P5 NEEDS more recognition as far as the aftermarket community goes, and APC is usually one of the first companies to makes parts for cars like the P5 that haven't struck big with the aftermarket companies. The regular Pro is a perfect example too. Ever since APC put together that crazy lookin Protege all decked out, parts are slowly but surely showing up. There's already tons of things for all models, and there should be more on the way.
