I would appreciate feedback / ideas, postive or negative. I hope you like my car and please let me know what you think by signing my guest book and rating my ride!!! Ride Fun, Ride Safe. Thank you.

Hi there I came across this website a while ago so I thought I would let my car do the talking for once. In the images below its on Motegi MR7 14's Stage (1) and then Focal FR16 18's Stage (2). I know its not a fast car. It's the fact that not very many people trick out/spend alot of money on a protege. The car has its ups and downs. The car is payed off and and the insurance is low and the mileage is great, It gets looks all the time cause people can't tell what it is. It gives me that sense of originality. So I hope you enjoy..

434.6 miles ON 1 Tank of Gas and there is still a little left. I could probably make it to 440 Miles. This is a Record for me:)!!

Body Kit from ErebuniCorp.com

Erebuni (723) (Bug Eye Style) front bumber.

Erebuni (924) (Racing style) side skirts and rear bumber).

The Erebuni Z3 Fender inserts were molded on the fenders with leds already assembled, they come on with the parking/druvung lights.

I alomst forgot the spolier.

It is an Erebuni Touring wing with ends cut off. With a 30 inch brake LED. you can also see the tips made out of Lexand plastic then painted. Its fair to call it custom made.

I put mesh in every space of the front and rear bumper.

Blue LED's / Fog Lights

Here is the molded Z3 Inserts w/leds signals. Looks sharp with the vinyl wrapped around it.

Ok I know I just started working on the interior a while ago I got alot to work with. The seat covers are neoprene in front and back. Door panel have colormatched spraypaint (works good if you dont scuff your feet on it LOL). I need to find a better alternative help me out if you can, like vinyl or plastic.

Dash Cluster In Billet Aluminum Trim

Shazaam now that looks sweet and that's lexand plastic in the cutouts instead of mesh the idea is im cutting out the hood under the scoop and then hide 4 blue Leds (or color change led's that way it shows off the engine. I'll probably do some led work in the Z3 fenders as well.

This I have been waiting to show you. It took me a while to aquire a second PSP but it was worth the wait. Dang that looks SWEET. Both are controlled thru the deck and charged with a custom inverter.

Painted PSP cover to match car.

Yes that is a PSP playin FFVII Advent Children on a Custom Housing by yours truly (digital signal thru ALpine 9856 Cd Changer) and yes I set up another in the back. I got custom paint on the trim which will work its way around soon. I have the 20+ Color LED Underbody Kit which is that 5 led bar at the bottom its sweet( pulsates, fades color in and out plays to music from ipod, radio, or cd. If you also notice on the gauge cluster that aluminum look that whole area needs work but it's a start.

Here's a few night pics.

Sorry if its kinda hard to see the car but I wanted to get the led's as bright as I could from the camera there's a couple or so more colors that was not included.

Enjoy.
