Two Tight Proteges!

Hey everybody, I just went out and took some pictures of my car and my friend Jaime's. The MP3 is mine and the Pro5 is Jaime's. Take a look, let us know what you think.

Nice, makes me wish I hadn't taken the dark tint off my yellow P5. But uhh what's up with the p5's center grill thingy? Its like missing or sumthin and you can see the horn and stuff.

Thanks, the Autoexe grill does come with mesh and it is on Jaime's protege 5, it's a finer mesh than what comes stock so it's a bit harder to see in pictures, it looks fine in person though.

So you're saying there is mesh present here?

I dunno, I just can't see anything resembling any type of mesh, fine or not. How come you can see the sun's reflection off the horn so well? I'm confused....

Yes, the mesh is there, it's just impossible to see with the low res camera and the way the lighting is. I'll ask jaime to post up some better pics of the grill with the mesh so you can see it better later today.

Hey whatsup guys,

The grill and front bumper on my car are made by Autoexe (Japanese). Pretty much the only way to get their stuff is to import it or buy it from someone who is importing their parts. I got my stuff painted at a shop in Buena Park (S. Cali) called Aerotech. Thanks again for all the compliments.....

Next Mod: ---- RIMS and Suspension! hehe....

Jaime

BTW -- Sweedenhouse -- Here is another pix of my car....sorry you still can't see the grill, but believe me its there. It comes from Autoexe in just plain silver, but I had my body shop guy paint it black so it would match with the bottom grill, thats why its harder to see in pictures.
