  • Yeah, its a camo fender...

    Im back with a new set up. Iv grown tired of 4-lug, cant find decent looking wheels in wide sizes with the correct offset for the Protege. So I went 5-lug. To go with the new bolt pattern I need new wheels. My friend just got some new wheels so I picked up his old MB Weapon's and used the tires off my old 17's. The rear of the car has always been high compared to the rest of the body. Traditionally people by a skirt and call it good, not a fan. Decided that a diffuser would do the trick and I picked up a RE Amemiya copy from a homie.
