Anyone compliment your ride?

Did anyone ever compliment the look of your Protege. My P5 seems to get a lot of attention maybe because there are only a few of them in my area. I got compliments from a 25 year old guy who drives a 97 stock Prelude, teenagers stare and admire it, a guy who drives a RSX also like it, and once this guy who drove a Porsche Boxter S, just locked his eyes on the P5 when I was making a left.

I wonder who desgined the 3rd Gen, was it a Japenese designer, someone from Ford?

Occasionally when im pumping gas or running into a store someone will tell me how nice the P5 looks. Most of the time ppl ask what it is and if its new. I have to admit on a few occasions there is chick or two that comments how cute it is. There is also all the negative attention it gets from the haters who cant stand someone else having something nice or the civics trying to race me at the light. But the good outwieghs the bad

i love it, when i first got my red p5 i took it to a friends shop to get tints and there was this doctor there with a brand new lexus checking out my ride for the longest time, asking me all these questions, then kicking himself when he found out how much i payed. and that was 6 months ago since then i've gotten tons more. just makes me love my baby even more.

lol my ex-girl used to love my ride ( i met her before she saw my car)
but she used to call all her friends to come over her house when i was there to see it.
i liked the admiration, but woulda perfered to be alone with her more often.

I always get compliments on my car, since I put the Jspec front end on and the jspec rear lights, half the damn time people don't know what the hell it is , .. especially when I have the car gleaming with the shine on the tires, ..
I get a lot of stares and double takes

I know I don't got a Protege (yet), but I usually get, "wow nice car, how do you drive like that?" (Note: slammed 3 1/2 inches) Every enthusiast I run into asks me, "have an engine swap?" and demand to see motor, its kinda sad that engine swaps are becoming played out I have actually gotten to the point where when I go to local shows I will walk past a car if it doesn't have a swap Somebody needs to save me from the Honda/Acura scene, I am dying slowly.

my car looks pretty stock, but people compliment my rims (Painted Gunmetal), Nitrous Install, the stereo, and the 1/4 times. I love my car more than i like the attention though , it rocks, too bad its in the shop :cry: I miss it already

Down here in South Central Texas there are quite a few P5's but I have yet to see a modded one. I have only seen one Mp3 also..Was hoping to see more.
