Body kit

I'm looking to purchase a body kit for my 2002 Protege 5, colour red. Where can I look around and what places should I stay away from ... (I don't know much about cars ..hence I'm a girl) so your advice is greatly appreciated!

probably the best body kits for the protege are:

wings west
mint blue
postert (very difficult to get $$)

as far as which sites to buy from that's hard. I don't know of any quality vendrs that sell body kits. Maybe "Andy's AutoSport"?? I guess?

okay... I feel a bit uneasy about ordering stuff online... would there be any good places you know that sell them in Toronto area?
Thanx

I like you canadians...you're like americans on prozac.

What is your goal for your car? It's best to have a plan in place BEFORE you start modding so you dont waste any time or money....unless you just have both to waste.

happy boxing day.

My goal for the car is to look a little girly, cute, fun.

Mint Blue is a really nice kit, I've heard there are fitment issues, maybe this can be blamed on it being designed for the JDM Familia.

This is the Auto EXE Sport-01 kit

These guys will probably kill us Cdns on shipping and also I know you don't wanna order online (I'm still skeptical as well) but at least you can see these pictures to see what's available and what interests you.

Haha, I could probably crawl through that Accolade bumper - I wonder what they were thinking.

Yeah, i think the Auto EXE kit would look good on a red pro...do you?
