Cool Protege5 Velociti

I went to the San Diego Auto Show this past weekend and of course went straight to the Mazda show room (hoping to get a glance at the Mazda6). And I came across a very very cool Protege5 called the Velociti. This thing has some cool mods like, Dual Sunroof action, and sparco racing seats all around. I put together some info about the Pro5 here.... u will have to take a look: |Protege5 Velociti Info|
The Mazda 6 wuz only showed in Chicago (at least thats what the lady told me.. but i swore it wuz in japan as well, oh well).

Anyhooo ... the Velociti wuz put together by a company called Performance West Group, Inc. ..... I think they did a pretty good job!

Happy Posting!

Dam I like the hood but I think it would look much better with all black instead of the primer on it. Also I like the dual sun roofs.

all black, or yellow where the grey is would definately add some flavor.

I want that hood!

Someone needs to put something together to see if they can make us some.

Actually that is not primer... its a SiK glossy grey color.... but yah... personally I think they should have stuck with the yellow or black instead.... My fav is the new console in the back with the sparko racing seats.... It removes the trunck almost completely... i wish I could of gotten some pics from under the hood.... (oh well)

Those are the exact wheels that my partner is selling from his Giovanna sponsored MP3. Check it out in the For Sale section of Mazdamp3.com. I think he wants $1100.00 obo for the rims and tires.

I must say that they are rubbing with that fitment, no doubt. Unless they shaved the wheel. We carry the line big time and is irritating that we can't get good fitment on the P5.

G-racing Nagano.

I like their 4 racing seat setup. Looks very sharp. As well as the rear console they added.

And the two sunroofs are pretty awesome.

And I am dying to get that freakin' remote door entry and shave off these damn door handles. Looks so sleak then.
