If ya wanna get technical, actually MP3 stands for MPEG Layer 3. But yeah I agree I don't like it when people say MP5, but I think I really hate it when people put those ridiculous MP5 decals on their rides. Umm hi can anyone say Honda/Acura emblem swap?

at least get the name of yoru own car right
Most ppl on this board use MP5 as an abbreviation; to quickly type up a post or make a long post shorter. If i were face to face or on the phone having a conversation with someone then of course i would describe my car as a Mazda Protege 5. BTW thanks for your concern, im working on getting the name of my MP5 err, Mazda protege 5 right, its just so hard to remember. . .

Hey I think that if you want to call your car a """ MP5""" then call it what you want. The MP3 is a type of audio equpment and they
( MAZDA ) called it that because it has a ( MP3 ) ! And it does not stand for MAZDA PROTEGE 3 ...... Mazda called the PR5 that because it has 5 doors. Hints the " 5 " in the name .... So if you own a PR5 or MP5 call it what you want. It's your car no matter what. I call my car a PR5 and sometimes I call it an MP5 no matter
the name is still known no matter what it goes by




But that is my 2 cents

94-DX..theres no way to take that off the sides, its paint. And the reason he got it was because a guy in his car club for killed in a car crash by a drunk driver, and his itinals where AW, and they are blended in with the air-brushing.

You'd paint the parts.

If you take them off and prep them (light sanding), a body shop would probably be able to spray them with the OEM color for like $50.

Or you could use spray paint.

Or you could try G2's "interior styling spray" which is supposed to be more of a penetrating dye than paint. I wish you'd do that, so you can tell me if it's worth it (I've been considering using that stuff or some time now, but it's $15 a can, as opposed to $3 for regular spray paint).

This car..........The sticker on the rear window says "Brislands Custom Shop". This car is in texas right? I live in victoria B.C. Canada, and there is a Brislands Custom Auto shop here and i am just wondering if it is a chain store? because i didnt think it was. The Graphics for the shop where i live are the exact same as the one on the back. Do you know if this car is from canada? www.brislands.com is the site (its under construction) for the shop up here in canada, and look at their logo, its the same. This is my first time on here, and i just saw that picture and instantly recognized the name and design of the letters.
