Neons aren't that bad to me. My god-brother has one and we used to switch cars like every other weekend.

All of you protege's are slow. My car could dust all yall. redrims your car looks good but ever though I know you don't like the tailights you still need to move into the next generation lights. Shem how much did you spend on your rims. Around a thousand. I am looking for a good cool air intake for my LX. Your cobra lights make the car look unreal especially when you see it at night and it gives off a glimer. What color turn signals are you looking to get now that you can't use red.

Recently I have hated altezzas even more. I will never get those chrome out lights..ewww..But I do LOVE the carbon fiber ones.
I'm going to get those when I change my car over this summer.Altezzas ONLY look good on the Altezza aka IS300. IMO

yep, but I'm getting rid of those too. (Right now, I'm going into denial about everything on my car..lol) I BEE NEEDDA CHANGA.

Some ppl thought it looked cool.(cough:thosegod-damnricerboys:cough) I rarely use that term too.
I took all that **** off. It made my car look like a POS at night. I realized how ugly it trully was like 4 months ago and ditched it. I'm keeping it simple and I'm all about hyper-whites now. Now I hate cobra eyes..lol Everytime I see them, it pisses me off or I laugh at it.

And I don't see very many people here bragging about how fast their Proteges are - we all know they're slow (except turbo setups, of course). But they will outhandle just about anything it their price range - and that's not up for debate.
Maybe you were just being funny?

Hey why did you want to get rid of the front mazda decal and what are thinking about for the side.

For the side, I'm going to take off the side molding and hopefully have my kit by then.

Can't take that lying down, my Bronx brotha. Here's some stuff to read:
From Edmunds.com:
I had a hard time finding some test numbers for the P5 - but I remember seeing in the charts in MotorTrend that the P5 pulled something like .82 on the skidpad, and almost 67 mph in the slalom.
Regardless, there's no way in hell that the Echo's wheelbase gives it any advantage. The P5 might be a dog in the motor, but Mazda put the money in the suspension. It's not an MazdaSpeed, but it's the same basic suspension geometry, and kicks ***, even in wagon form. The Echo is even worse in the engine (can you say 108 HP? Ugh!) and the suspension is just plain junk - Toyota spent the money on raising fuel economy and neato speedos.
