what I was actually trying to convey (apparently rather poorly) is that it is one very yellow car (i.e. a giant yellow sticker on a black car). My bad. Sorry.

I really do think that the car looks good and is very well done. As you said, a lot better than many of the cars that get displayed at shows.

WHY ISN'T THERE A DAMN DROOL ICON? GET ME ONE. NOW! i like that car. it looks pimp. this may sound like a dumb *** question... but what are the differences between the mp3 and the rest of the 3rd gens? (99, 00, and 01) that would make that kit not work with all of them? i know the headlights are different, so the fenders and grille are gonna be different, but is that all? or with a little modification like new headlights, grille and fenders make that kit bolt on to a reg 3rd gen like my 00? IMO, that **** looks really good. it's clean and not overdone.

Hehe, knew you guys would drool over it

Yeah, when doing exterior mods, the key phrase is tastefully done, not overdone. Over doing it will just kill everything.

I've never been a huge fan of body kits (motor, brakes, wheels, tires and suspension first, if the car looks good already, I'd leave it alone), but that, I'd definitely buy that kit if I had an MP3. Just I'd have an intercooler poking through the grille first...

this is kind of off topic but Gro, where did you get those white rims and how much do rims like those go for?

Gro is probably asleep right now, but check out his site:
http://groharlem.tripod.com
look under "my car", then "modifications", and then "white rims".
That should help, and it's a cool site for us Pro owners.

I have to agree with that.

I can't really agree with you other guys' opinions that the stickers look good, though. I don't like that the hood is black, but not carbon fiber. I don't like the sticker down the side. Altezzas? YUK. I can't agree either that the kit looks good because it is not overdone. Do you guys know how FU*&ING expensive Wingswest kits are? What's the use of getting an expensive kit if it barely shows?!

I think the stock bodykit on the MP3 is nice enough that all it needs is to be really low with some 18s. Forget about an aftermarket bodykit. It doesn't need one the way the other Proteges do, because its lines are agressive, yet clean in stock form... IMHO...

Then again, I don't like it when people say bad stuff about my car, so I wouldn't be saying any of this if I did'nt think that that car belongs to a company. not an individual...

The interior is MAX! I love the 4 racing seats! I wanna do that in my car!!

Sorry if anyone doesn't agree... Good for you for liking the car!!!

IMHO- I'd rather spend my money under the hood. Give me a "plain jane", a "sleeper", anything that's "no show but all go".

Stickers and wings are the same as pink hair and piercings, it screams "look at me, I've got nothing else going for me but this!!!"
