Corksport front end

I have never heard anyone talk about this front end. Of all the front ends for the Protege, this one is the best looking. (in my opinion) You all tell me whatcha think. It appears to fit very nicely for an aftermarket application. (no gaps)



CHECK IT OUT

Wow, that's cool!! I like it a lot. Is that a whole bumper or is the lip molded on?

Alittle bit. It gives it a more aggressive look, it set lower to the ground and the airdam looks like it has a longer profile as opposed to the taller profile.

I read that it takes a lot of work to get it to fit. I would rather just have the mazda lip, cheaper, fits great, plus it isn't fiberglass.

I think the red and gold paint around the headlights makes it look like a focus, not the bumper.

It's kind of a Mazda. The fog light are sweet. I still like that lower airdam.
