2004 shots of Mr. Blue and still evolving (stripped of graphics)...
probably the last of the exterior changes it will ever receive...probably.

The following shots were taken at Westgate, Filinvest, Alabang during the 2nd Protege Tech Car Show. The shot on the right shows Marlon's 323, Ohmme's Mazdaspeed gen 2.5 and Jimbo's '03 RS Lynx. Not in the photo was Timmy's SPL Lynx. (All are PT's show cars) Notice Mr. Blue stripped of graphics in the following shots.

Body Graphics were changed with sponsors logos added in the next shots.

The carbon look hood was replaced in favor of the JDM hood with hood scoop from the gen 2 turbo disel variant. The projector housing was color matched and gave the car a fuller look.
