Hi, First off this is my 2001 Mazda Protege MP3. As of 10/2/08 I have owned this car for a year so far and lemme tell ya its seen alot. My original page for this car showed it oem MP3 yellow and I just lost track with all the mods and what not. On top of that I spun out on the highway at around 100 mph and was lucky enough to avoid causing major damage. This is what motivated the whole make over of my car. Take a look and let me know what ya think!

To the left when it was bone stock and MP3 Yellow / And to the right is after a couple exterior mods and of course the custom VW red paint job.

Here is couple picks of my car on the lift where it spends alot of time. By the way having a lift and endless tools available makes things so much easier.

Below is a few more pictures of my cars older and current state. For comparing and contrasting perposes of course. As you can see it looks like two totally different cars, but its the same one. After my accident I decided to give the car a complete make over. And as always Im open to suggestions. (Left - older look) (Right - current look).
