After hearing the news that I would need more parts just for the front bumper of the WW kit, I don't know what I should do now. There's either stick and plan for the WW Kit, or just conversion into MP3 exterior, which one do you guys suggest or think I should do. Either way I'm still probably going to buy the bumper parts for the front. Opinions and everything are helpful thanks. Also, http://www.erebuni.net/ge/mazprot01.htm , does that rear wrap fit on the 2002 sedan? Thanks.

just go for the mp3 body kit. it will fit better, and will cost less overall.

How so??
Compare a ww 4 piece kit and compare going to mazda and getting the mp3 bumper, side skirts, rear skirts, and you get a cheaper price with the ww kit.

Either way you go, it sounds like you will need the following on top of the above parts.
mp3 grill
lights
wheel wells
bumper bar


What the real bummer of all this is that WW said the kit would fit all sedans. They sure sound like dummies making a kit for the 2000 mp3 owners who probably dont want to change the ww kit anyways (since its almost exactly the same). They sure sound like amateurs to me. I'm sure they lost a lot of orders..

I really don't know which one I want lol. When I 1st got the pro, I saw the MP3 and was like wow i want it like that. But when I saw the WW Kit w/ the flares it WOW'ed me even more lol. The spoilers though I'm not sure i like em both but which one do you guys think is better , the MP3 or the WW Skyline? Also, if you order the MP3 side skirts from Advanced Imports, do you still think it'd be more expensive?

ok, regardless which way you go, you will need to get the fender wells, front grills (2 of them), fog lights, and bumper rebar.

now, add to that the price of the ww body kit, fitting, and painting. to make the ww kit fit, for the 4 piece kit you are looking at $1000-1200. (tack on another $500 if you want the flare kit)

to get the four pieces from mazda and have them painted, you are probly only looking at $800-1000.

to me, it sounds like the mazda kit is a better deal because you KNOW the parts are going to fit. with the ww kit, i am not so sure.

ok I just did a comparision.

Mazda MP3 kit:

SideSills kit : 170.00
RearSkirt : 200.00
Front bumper : 200.00

Total : 570.00

just for laughs price of
mp3 wing : 250.00

Total w/wing :820.00

WW MPS Kit:

individual price
Left Sill : 170.00
right sill : 170.00
Front bumper : 450.00
Rear skirt : 270.00

Kit price : 949.00


Comparing those prices.. MP3 kit is much cheaper
with or without a wing. Unless your getting a great
kick in for the WW.

Just my thoughts.

Hmm, that is sure a different price than I got.
683 is the price for the ww kit from protege5online.
Must be nice to have those cheap prices in the states, as here, you can multiply approx 1.4 before conversion for the mazda prices.

Anyways, does not matter, I guess its just a matter of what you like best (personally they are both the same to me, just what I priced out as cheaper).
BTW I love your conversion. Top notch job.

Care to give me some ball park prices on the bumper bar, upper grill, and wheel wells. Even asking for more.. You have those part numbers handy??
