what do you think of this Body kit idea.

when I was home for spring break, the clutch line on my probe sprung a leak. So, while I was at the mazda dealership picking up the part, I noticed a replacement Mazdaspeed Protege body package in the parts department.

I asked the guy if I could take some measurements of the kit to see if I could adapt it to my car.

I dont have the measurements with me, but I remember that the width was really close to the FB. the front wheel overhang was close too.

The parts guy also told me that they are overstocked on the kits (as you can buy them as a upgrade to a normal protege) an that I could get away with one (with my discount, being a former employee) for about $350.

I cant remember if it was made out of fiberglass or not.
My dad is a master with fiberglass.

looking at the kit, it looked like it might look good if properly adapted to a FB.

whadaya think
