I'll check when I get back from work, but I know where it is so I can just take a picture of it.
Is your Protege5 the 2002.0 that came with some weird shift **** that kinda deteriorates quickly?
edit: these pics are from an mx-6 but I think that's the exact ****:

What do you mean by deteriorates quickly? I have a 2002, but the **** is not deteriorating. I am just a little tired of it.

Yeah, that is what I am looking for. Even if the one you have is a little diffrent then that one, but is all black I would like to pick it up from you if you want to get rid of it?

I feel like swapping the P5 interior with one from a lesser Protege is a downgrade. Your car will end up looking neutered.
There are other cheap mods you can do to personalize your P5, like blacking out headlights, repainting the emblems, and peeling off the side molding.
A shorter shift lever from an MSP or a short shifter, plus some polyurethane shifter bushings would really improve the driving experience for not much cash.

I think that getting the interior recovered in gray cloth might cost more then I want to spend. I hope that I can evently find a interior that I would be willing to swap out for.
Thanks for some good suggestions on the modding for my car, I might try some of that, I like the idea of blacking out the headlights, and I might do diffrent brake lights. We'll see, I have a while to make changes to my car, I just want everything to be done like NOW. I just have to be patient.

Sounds good. I know what you mean about the waiting--I have been planning my suspension upgrade for like 6 months--now I'm tired of thinking about it, just want to get it done.
Have fun with the modding!

No, you have the same 'black' (really charcoal) seats that the P5 has. Same covers and everything. The DX/LX have different seats though.
