Hello all. I was sent to this forum from MOCC to look for answers, and find more Protege owners, which there looks to be plenty of. I'm new to the whole mod scene, and most of my friends aren't into car modding. I'm 30 years old, so despite having a few younger modder friends, I don't really hang out with them much, and none of them owns a Protege.
So, my question for today is this: What body kits are available for a 1st-gen Protege? Are there any bumpers/side plastic that can be bolted or mounted on so they look good, even if some cutting or mounting brackets are needed? I saw a site where an EVO front bumper cover was mounted, but it required the removal of the crashbar. I'd prefer to keep that.
I'm not looking to make a racecar. I don't plan to drag or anything. I basically want a car that looks good, sounds good, goes fast (but not a record-breaker), and gets attention of the positive kind (black smoke pouring out the exhaust gets negative attention, trust me on this). So, any tips you guys can offer or info or whatever, would be helpful. I already replaced the exhaust and am in the process of replacing the intake. I haven't done the header yet but I'm waiting til after I get the cold air intake in place.
Thanks in advance. I'll keep reading the forum posts, but there's a lot of them, so if there are answers to any of my questions and I haven't found them, a link would be helpful.
