I have had the Protege for almost three years, it is my first car and i love it! It isnt very powerful, enginewise, but it handles really well on the curves. Zoom-Zoom!

This is the oldest surviving picture that i have of my Protege. It has since lost the car bra, the USDM corners and the side moldings have been shaved. I aslo bought it with the stock 13in steelies, but I now have 14in American Racing wheels on it. They arent the best wheels, but for being free they are very nice! and they will last me till i get some lighter/bigger wheels.

This is my door moldings being removed, I think it makes the car look more modern and a little more aggressive; plus its a free mod!
This is the finished product after the door moldings were shaved. I think it came out pretty well.
