Pics of my 1st gen Protege...
I have been an active member of this board for more than 1.5 years now and I decided it was about time I post some pics.
I washed my car today and put my summer wheels back on. I have spend a lot of money, time, and effort on this car and so far I am pretty happy with the results. Any comments and suggestions (positive and negative) will be appreciated greatly!

Thanks guys. Yes this is the original paint. Harbor Blue Metallic rules The interior is in excellent shape although I've redone a big part of it. I might have some interior pics on my computer. If I find them, I'll post them here.

rkives: The sidemarkers I got from www.nopionline.com about a year ago. They were 'accord style' sidemarkers and cost me about $25 if I remember correctly.
limpgtx: The car is lowered, although it doesn't look like it especially on that last picture. I'll blame it on the weird angle. It's only an 1" lower than stock, but it's perfect for me as I am not going for the 'slammed' look anyways.
Funkdaddysmack: Yes, do post some pics of your Protege as I've never seen it. Is it Harbor Blue Metallic?

I think once you get your ZX2 struts on there that it'll lower a little more, at least that's what I noticed. I need to get some new pics to show you, but it looks great. Not slammed by any means, but hardly any wheel gap - a little less than yours.

Once I do that, my suspension will be almost complete.
Too bad almost is the key word here.

Looks good! I have the same springs only I cut the dead coils from mine so it's a little lower....
You guys say the ZX2 struts will lower the car even more?!?!
That worries me because I hardly have any wheel gap as it is. If it lowers any more, my tires will rub all the time...
