ok. i'll starts off. i want a batter tie down in blue. I want it engraded then anodized. so the Lettering is blue. Also i want the MP3 logo on it. To get the MP3 logo just take the first MP5 Logo and change the 5 to a 3. so i want the logo that has the "M" and the "P" as separate letters.
Thanks
Sadi

Sorry I should of posted above, but if you could please email me your order, that way there is a little more proof that you actually want it. Ran into some problems on another board, so Email seems to work the best.

You can email me at gujustud@shaw.ca and we'll work out payment. Thanks everyone!

I remember the tie-downs you made had fit problems with the stock protege5 strut tower bar. have you made new ones that fit without removing the bar. thanks.

Thanks for asking, as I was just going to post regarding that.

At the moment I am going to be making the Oil Caps. I'd like to completely finish those before starting a NEW batch of the Battery Tie Downs. This ones will fit on the Protege5 Strut bar as well as the regular ones. It was a stupid mistake, but hey, thats the thing with learning this stuff. And if anything it'll look better.

Keep a look up on this post for details when I start the battery tie downs.

Remaining pictures of engraving,





Please number from top to bottom of which one you like. I will only be doing one type of engraving, so its whichever one everyone likes the most.

I like the MP5 where the M and P are together, the last one. Kinda gives it an interesting look. Thats the one I would get.

Cap/Tie

I'll take one of each in red, my personal choice is the last design. The one where the M&P are together but the # seperate.

Update: Oct 29 2002

Just a quick update. The oil caps are on their way. I just need to do a test to make sure that when you screw on the oil cap, that the top lines up, so when I engrave the logo, its not upside down.

I'm going to check a few other cars around here, MP3, P5, +01 Sedan, and make sure that they are all the same,

IF NOT there won't be much I can really do. I can't custom each single oil cap, and to make that it lines up at the top, but I'll do my best. Hopefully Mazda kept the threads similar...
