Still working out shipping on the kit. It took a few weeks to get a shipping quote, and it's estimated at just under $700. I know I can get cheaper, but it's just taking a long time to communicate with them. I've shipped entire bumpers for less than $200, so there's no reason why I shouldn't pay more for the kit just to ship them, so I'm gonna take my time and make sure I get the price I'm satisfied with. In the meantime, I should really REALLY get the rust worked out.

I'm STILL in negotiations on getting the Mazdaspeed kit. The seller has to make each kit by himself and with help from a few friends. He just sent me pics of how the kit is being packed and shipped, and is doing a great job. The problem is the front lip he showed me in the pics looks different than the one I wanted. I think he made me the facelift version of the Mazdaspeed kit, but it's hard to tell. The front lip kinda looks like Kev's.

Yeah, idk what I got myself into. I didn't know he was able to make a B spec kit, because he advertised an A spec kit slightly modified to fit the later generation Protege, so this was a complete shock. The funny thing is idk what the rest of the kit looks like. I tried looking for pics of what the side skirts and rear lip looks like, but all I could find was this:

I stopped putting money into this thing. Too much rust and bodywork needed, and I've had non stop issues with the motor not running correctly. I tried looking for another shell, but every shell I encountered had issues with rust and body repairs. I decided to take it back to stock, and drive it as a beater, maybe sell it. I'm going to make a for sale thread soon with all the parts I was going to use.
