body kit
 

I need a body kit for my 01 protege ES were can i find one?

O.k. i checked FAQ and got the info on the kit from Pakfeif or however you spell it, the one for the P5. I want to know whether that front bumper will fit , side skirts and the back bumper????

the front bumper from the 323BJ kit will not fit any P5 in the United States or year 2001-2002 Protege Sedans, because the headlights are shaped differently (you have the sleeker one piece headlights, the familia 5 door in the 323BJ kit pictured has the older style 2 pieced headlights like the USDM 99-00 protege sedan).. so it would at minimum need alot of trimming by a skilled body shop who likes fiberglass..

the side skirts would indeed fit a p5 or protege sedan of the 3rd generation ('99-02).. let me tell you they are pretty low to the ground though you gotta watch out to keep them unbroken ;)

the rear skirt will not fit either the 3rd generation protege sedan or P5, .. it wont fit the 3rd generation protege sedan because the bumper is shorter on the 323 5 door pictured in the kit, and it won't fit the P5 because the P5 already has a styled rear bumper (and it is my understanding that you can't remove the lower styling of the p5 bumper), and the 323 5 door pictured in the kit does NOT have the styled rear bumper to start with.

so.. IF you decide to get the side skirts, please check out this thread first:

I ordered the skirts and about $600 later (thats the ACTUAL cost by the time you import them and pay for taxes and such) still received the wrong product.. some dude on ProtegeTech board on egroups also was shipped the wrong product..

take warning.. :mad:
