Very nice. It looks like mine.
It will look at lot better lowered. I used Racing Beat 1" drop, OK for me. Fixes that factory high look. The car handles a lot better also.
You can buy a chrome tip for the exhaust to finish off the car.

Thanks again for the nice comments!
ESsedan01, thanks for noticing that I went for the front lip. I figure not too many folks out there have it since most people like to go for the full MP3 conversion. Either that or I'm just trying to make myself feel better for not having the money or the patience to go for the full conversion
I may eventually drop it, but not for awhile. I rather get a MP3 player for now. Besides, I just paid 80 bucks for an alignment. And yes I do still need to do something about my exhaust. The tip has totally disappeared after the rear skirt was put on.

I like your setup, as it's a bit more unique than adding the MP3 bumper. Not quite as integrated but definitely attractive. Wheels look great. Lowering is a personal decision that you should make based on your needs and priorities. My opinion is that it would look better an inch or two lower, especially in front, but do what you want. You get my approval 
The WW is the most overrated, poorest looking kit for the sedan! Please don't subject another Protege to that tackiness! Again, IMO, but . . . DAMN!

I think it's time I started saving up for that kit after I get the Mazdaspeed exhaust....although the Wings West one would probably cost the same amount :/.

Thanks nate!
Yeah, I would love to lower my car but I don't think it's right for me just because of how often and where I drive my car. And I don't really want to deal with any future problems that would result i.e. the struts.
