Picked up a 2002 Protegé5 and decided to actually plan the build out before throwing parts at it. Mocked up some renders to lock in the vision—going for a clean but aggressive show-style street build.

Plans so far:

Widebody + air ride + tucked stance

Playing with negative camber (still dialing it in)

Duct bill, custom rear diffuser, dual blast pipes

Ice white paint with subtle purple flake

Spinner wheels (I know… but I kinda like it 😅)

Interior:

White/black seats, quick release

Dual 10s + custom setup

Working toward a custom digital dash

Performance:

Turbo 1.8 Miata bp build

Standalone ECU for reliability

Curious what you guys think—especially on camber and the spinner idea. Appreciate any feedback 🙏
