Lets See Your Wheels

[McCorkle]

I would say paint the mirrors the body color. And for the wheels, they both will have the same finish. For the most part they are just about the same wheel. I could go either way.

Just adapt the directions for your year. Same baking and all that. Overall a very easy thing to do. As for the clear corners you need to order them from procarparts.

Okay I will paint the mirrors along with the car's color. What modifications should I do next? I have a little extra money to spend. I would like to get into some car shows this summer.

If you want some show modifications I got a ton of them for you. I would say get some lowering springs next if you do not already have them. Because with the low profile wheels it gives the car a raised look.

Can you recommend some lowering springs to purchase? Then what should I do next? What is the 1.6L Cold Air Intake thing all about?

go for a injen CAI if ur after an intake. It gives some performance upgrade. But it jsut shounds alil deeper to me. For springs get some Ebiach Pro Kit. Dont forget to get the struts too. ull need them.

Actually you would be suprised how long you can go on stock struts. I am still on mine. But granted my car only has 35k on it. I plan on going with the Tokico Blues in the spring.

Where can I get all of these together? The lowering springs and the struts.
Also what color neons should I accent the car with and the interior or should I just leave that alone.

Send Protege5Online a pm about it. He has his own Protege parts business and is a great guy. He sells a combo deal for the Tokico blues and the Eibachs.

Edit: Acually better yet, go to Protege 5 Online and send him an email. He is always extremely quick to respond to emails.
