New to this forum, just purchased a 2000 ES (Silver) as my commuter car. It's ok, but looks very dull. I've seen some pics of those who have converted to the MP3 or Mazdaspeed look and I think it looks great. However, this is my commuter car and I'm not looking to sink much money into it. Looking to put a lip ( not swap out the entire bumper), some side skirts and a rear lip on this thing. Any suggestions on parts and where to buy would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Lots of protege parts are in the For Sale section for used parts.

Especially here:

Also check www.car-part.com and search all the online junk yards. You can find a lot of parts that are in perfect condition for pretty cheap. And as always, keep an eye out on eBay .. people sell a lot of stock body parts there when they upgrade to aftermarket body kits.

Thanks for the help fellas. I've done some massive googling for parts. The only legit find is corksport.com. They have some authentic Mazda parts, which is what I'm looking for. I don't want a really outlandish, rice kit. The one I like most is the J Spec Sport 20 stuff. But, it's too expensive to spend on my commuting car. But, we'll see. Thanks for the replies.

ProtegeGarage has a lot of good stuff too.

Olestra already brought that up and I did check them out. The Mazdaspeed lip or the entire conversion package look good, but they all say for 01-03 models. There doesn't appear to be much for the 2000's.
