if i were you, i'd get 20% all around. it just looks better. also what color is the car going to be cuz that will make a diff. i would also get some lightweight rims wrapped in decent rubber so you can take advantage of the cars handling. as far as other stuff, get an intake and exhaust if you want and sure hook up the system. aight peace

you can find rims online for pretty cheap. just try to get the wheel and tire package. a good site would be wheelmax. they come already balanced and **** so you could put them on as soon as you get them. mine were about 850 dollars which is pretty good. and they weigh 16 lbs each which is decent for 16x7's.

Tints, Sound System and Wheels. Doesn't have to be in that order. Then go on from there.

PLEASE GET AN LX WITH POWER WINDOWS AND LOCKS .....
I wish I got a lx or even a ES ... ES comes with the bigger 1.8 motor .. a much better foundation but rare and hard to find ..

i really dont know which it is really... but i do know it has power locks and windows and power whatever. it doesnt have a sunroof though. which model is that narrow it down to, or does it at all? ill see, its gettin the brakes fixed anyway, so i should get it back tomorrow. still havnt done **** to it, but i will.

it already has a cd changer in it and **** and if i want i can get a box wit 12's, i'd just need to get an amp and the rest of the speakers, but who knows.

hey hey

tint is good...I had 35% all the way around and it was just right. i would suggest not gettin limo in the back only because its hard to see at night and I think it kinda looks bad having two shades of black. But hey, everybody has their own opinion!

When your ready to get a system, let me know. I know the specs for the protege so you can put the speakers under the plastic covers that came with the car

good luck to ya
