    I've seen and fixed a lot of the garbage that Maaco does, the only time you use them for a paint job is when you're getting rid of the car in the next month...

        Wheels are drag dr15's and tires are hankook 195-50-15's. Suspension is GR2's and ground control coilovers. Hopefully soon to be ksports. I missed the group buy

                What if you just leave the fenders and add a raised piece if sheet metal to the door to match. Then have it taper into the protege door? So the first 4 to 6 inches or so of the front door would look like a 323, and then it blends into a protege.

                      It was right at the turbo inlet on the bottom side. I need to buy a boost controller when I get my front mount. But atop the list is a megasquirt. What a pile of hell the maf is. Its like bieng thirsty as **** and having to drink through a coffee stir straw. Absolute garbage.

                              Yeah it holds about 10. I need to buy a boost controller bad lol. But the car is gonna get a new clutch front mount and megasquirt. So back on the stands it goes for a while.
