Info About my Protege.
So far I have put in black/blue R-Racing seat covers with matching floor mats and steering wheel cover.

I also have a second set of seat covers.
I change them out for a different look every now & then.
These are "SPEED" neopreen covers

The center consol was getting scratches so I repainted it.

I have steel braided covers on some of my hoses. Below is my radiator cap and home made battery tie down strap done in blue anodized paint.

I painted the calipers and lug nuts to match the body color.



The paint is from a local auto parts store. It is DUPONT METALCAST. I used the silver base coat then used the blue anodized for the final coats.
The windows are tinted with the front doors at 35%. B pillar back is 5% limo and the hatchback window is 15%.

A vroom vroom vroom and a zoom zoom zoom !
