Just want to say hello and tell you guys what I have

2002 Protege5...Just got it last month dirt cheap! But has lots of miles

Things I've done:
K&N stock filter with the front opening cut (found the idea on another site).
DIY shift boot from scrap leather (mom in-law sewed it for me).
MX6 rear strut tower bar (ebay special).
New Tires (stock rims).

Plan to install over the weekend:
New Tokico Blue Shocks.
Used MSP Stock Springs.

Anyway, I just installed the MX6 rear STB and it's an exact fit! I'll see if I can post pictures on how it looks...I can't see myself paying over $100 on this.

sounds good. pics please.

 

Try not to pay attention to the mess, here's the STB w/o the plastic molding...There's a bracket that holds the seatbelt up, I don't think you really need it because the seat does that for you...BUT, for safety I'm going to cut the bracket to allow the bar to run through.

 

looks good. I may have to pick one up for my p5

 

Here's the bracket (one side) that I'll be cutting, it won't be much to cut, so I think it should be ok.

External pics? It's your typical stock Protege5 w/tint in the rear windows & too many door dings

 

right now ebay has one for (starting bid) $0.99 + $18.99 shipping

 

hahaha, must be quality!
