Dambbbb That looks nice...

I have a '99 touring, and I'm not sure where you live, but you are SOOOOO Lucky you're able to tint your driver side windows. If I could do that I'd do it in a flash.. I've wanted to tint my car so bad, but I HATE having the car HALF tinted (ie, the back windows, but not the front... I was thinking of doing a lighter tint all around... and hopefully will blend in the fronts, but I know some people here who have been pulled over (one guy had the police actually rip of the tint, (other option was to get car towed!!!))..

I've wanted to change the lights on the back of my car, but hate that Altezza's look, but these type you have, look SWEEEET!!! I just might have to order them!!! I was planning on tinting the lights as they are, but these carbon fibre's look pretty dark.

The Eibach springs is also my next ugprade as well, finally I can see what it lokos like on a 3rd gen Protege, and its looks pretty good. From what I can guess is that you've got the 16"s on your car right now... I've got after market, CSA 15"s right now, and i'm hoping to get rid of most of the gap above the tires...

nice ride, keep it tight...

Okay how lame is this....

I went to https://www.nopionline.com to see how much it would cost for those Carbon Fibre lights... here is the list:

$162.70 which is okay

BUT SHIPPING AND HANDLING: $94.04!!!!

Whats up with that??? A little insane.. I doubt I'll be buying from them....

I paid $160 shipped from jcwhitney.com for the carbon fibers.

nice mods!
how do you find the Injen CAI? noticeable difference?

gujustud

(btw I live in Canada)

Yeah I saw yours... checked out jcwhitney.com... cost of the lights are $199, but that includes shipping... but thats US, after around $310 cdn... ouch! I can get my Ebiach springs for that much...

Their website advertised them at $199 with free shipping when I bought them. Call them to order them, I didn't ask for a discount, and they offered me a discount for no reason. Then, after they quoted me like $180 for them. I got a thing in the mail that was like a confirmation since the lights were still on backorder, saying they were charging me $149.96, plus $17.95 S/H, coming to a total of $167.91. They were even nice enough to replace the set when someone kicked one of my tail lights at a show here in Colorado. They didn't ask what happened, so I didn't tell em So, try to call them and ask for the $167.91 price. Maybe they'll do the same for you

ChopstickHero : You can get the Injen CAI from Mitch at Protege5 Online .

And yes, the CAI gives the car a great sound to it (nice deep roar) as well as some great high end torque! Definitely put it on your wish list!

Finally got that strut bar I ordered from Mazdastuff.com . I ordered it the first week of November, and I live in Fl.. wtf?

Anyways, it's sitting at my house, so I'm gonna go get/install it now, I'll take some pics and post them on my site/here in an hour or so...

Stay tuned! (no pun intended)

Those bastards at Roger Beasley Mazda South sent me the wrong bracket for the strut bar! They sent me the one for a car w/o cruise control.

So... I had to do some MacGuyver thinking to get everthing to fit together properly..

Here are some pics of the final product: (or just head to my site)





You can see in the last pic (although a little blurry ) that the black strut brace and the metal bracket for the CC don't exactly fit together like they should. But hey, it works!

nice car

Toejam

Very nice looking!

I do have one question for you...I don't see a bypass valve for the CAI and want to know if you are using the Injen Splash Guard?

MP3-Owner

Just one question...Why Yellow?
I mean why not red like the P5 strut? I would think it would look better with the red from th Injen CAI, althought it still looks good.
Are you planning on yellow accents throughout the car?

Makaveli

so what percent tint do you have????
