G'day guys... new here and this is my Daily driver.

a Very nice 2002 Protege SP20.
Bought it was $11,000 and only had 77,000k's on the clock.
I got some plans for it but nothing to crazy.

Anyway besides putting a pod on it... the first real mod is the brand new Head unit i picked up for it last night

God i love tax time

Nice, another Vic member and protege sp20 driver! Find it hard to keep the black clean?

BEAST260 · 01-09-2011, 07:19 PM

Oh dont get me started on keeping it clean LOL but it looks bloody awesome when it is fleshly washed

z100 · 01-09-2011, 07:42 PM

Thought as much!

Worth it to see the colour, even if it only lasts a day.

And get yourself some clear indicators, looks so much better with them and its a cheap mod!

Rofltorque · 01-09-2011, 09:45 PM

i'm interested in doing the clear indicator mod to my black SR2 laser, where do you guys get the clear lenses? and how hard are they to replace?

Clean_Cookie · 01-09-2011, 09:50 PM

just off ebay. i paid $25 for the pair, havent recived them yet. some are up to $40 a set. no idea on the difference (or lack there-of) in prices...

BEAST260 · 01-09-2011, 09:53 PM

LOL i should do that to mine. would look nice with clear side indicators.

Rofltorque · 01-09-2011, 11:17 PM

These look quite nice

Might get some 'chrome' indicator bulbs all around as well, SR2 lasers have no orange lenses (other than the side indicators), just orange bulbs

BEAST260 · 01-09-2011, 11:38 PM

yeah i was just looking at those same ones on ebay. next week when i get paid im buying some.

They're the ones I bought, good quality and fit no problems.

Nice!! What's the head unit? Bluetooth gps??

BEAST260 · 02-09-2011, 04:29 PM

Its the Clarion VX401A. it has blue tooth and touch screen and a heap of other stuff. but no GPS... if i wanted it to have GPS that would of been another $1000 LOL
Clarion.com - VX401A

BEAST260 · 03-09-2011, 05:28 PM

Put the head unit in today

derb · 03-09-2011, 06:05 PM

I don't think you posted a big enough pic man.

Seriously though, is it poking out a bit?

BEAST260 · 03-09-2011, 06:12 PM

LOL the forum needs an image resizer LOL. yeah it is sticking out a good inch from where it should sit. but ill sort that out when i hook up the 12" and amp. i was going to do that today aswell but i had some issues with auto barn giving me the wrong loom adapter and then not having the one i needed in at that store but another one that was a bit of a drive.... then not being able to find my soldering iron so had to buy another one... then finding the direct power wire on the adapter wasn't working... LOL yeah had alot of stuff that just took up time. anyway once the sub and amp are in, i will make it sit flush and should look stock then

Rofltorque · 03-09-2011, 10:55 PM

Headunit looks great dude, looking forward to see it put in properly, my Alpine single din sits slightly sunken in the fascia but oh well

BEAST260 · 22-09-2011, 05:52 PM
