DG Sema Car
 
The car has a turbo kit on it, and AWR's full Speed World Challenge Suspension under it. The interior is full MOMO seats, etc.

Remember, this is SEMA and it is supposed to be over the top. There were 20-25 Proteges in the show this year, from mild to wild, and this one was definately on the wild side.

If it would've been black it would have came out better. It a whole carbon front piece, and it's actually the ballistic kit in CF. Its got the Bell turbo on it. This one right here belongs to the blonde on Hi REv Tuners:

Ummm...not to sound rude or anything, but, do you guys even KNOW who DGM is?¿? They are not frickin APC. They arnt promoting Fast and the Furious. DGM is a hardcore race company. They arent making pieces for our car for cosmetic purposes. That front clip isnt meant for style. For fùck sakes, you have to ruin it to cut the headlights out. Its for hardcore racing. Hello? It only wieghs 23 lbs. 23 LBS!!! Yet, some of you are knocking it because "it looks like a semi." You cant even use it on the streets as it wouldnt pass the safety.
If you want pretty cheap, stylish, fibregalss hoods with carbon fibre vynal on it, go to www.4apc.net then go park your ass in front of a Civic forum. Remeber this..."FORUM FOLLOWS FUNCTION"...not the other way around.

Actually the FMIC is tiny. I believe there's a small, verticle FMIC about 5"X10" and a race aluminum radiator behind it. I could be wrong, as it could be an oil cooler but, I doubt it.

You are right, eeterp the FMIC looks pretty small.

Check out the other pics here.

UHHH! , SICK!

NICE :eek:

PhotoPro5 November-10th-2002 09:18 PM

That was horrible.

Rice. Horrible motherfucking rice.

What's point of turbocharging that piece anyway? It'll never see the street, strip or the track. He might as well put his mom under the hood.

Fuck. Shit.

Ass.

RODSCALIP5 November-10th-2002 09:28 PM

Thats why its a show car...................duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And anyway that turbo will probably end up in my hands :D

Man....i'm very suprised how there's a lot stuff available for our P5's...These Companies are coming out of the woodworks. SEMA just ended last FRIDAY!!! we just need a bad ass HEADER to go w/ the CAT-BACK exhaust.

For you ROOKIES in this SPORT that spend a lot of time and money on stereo shit, stickers, red tubing(under the hood), light bulbs, altezza lights...etc. you guys are "HATERS", people like you give this import scene a bad name...this yellow P5 stepped up to the plate and its saying "this sport is not just for honda's, acura's(same company) nissan's" this sports wagon could roll with the big dawgs too!!...give the guy his props and walk away!!!

carbon fiber front clip, turbocharged, plus it's in SEMA...c'mon ROOKIES that says a lot about the P5's, a lot of people are buying PROTEGE's between the US and Canada that's why these parts are coming out....hey ROOKIES!!!! all of this make sense...

I like it appart from the half Black front which would have looked so much better completely in Yellow or they should have gone for an entire carbon look in stealth Black :)

I like it...mostly....I don't really care for the front paint job, but its all for marketing mostly anyhow. If they painted all those pieces you wouldn't be able to tell its carbon fiber, and if they didn't paint the hood at all, the whole front, 1/4 panels and all would be carbon fiber.....which is what they do, and why they were trying to show it off.

Personally, I would have left the middle section CF (as is normally done) and left the headlights CF as well...that probably would have gotten the point across. To each their own.

I have a silver P5 and I love the way the flares looked on that one...and I only saw one other reply concerning the EXHAUST.....friggin sweet!!.
