BJII BodyKits
 
Hi all just wondering if anyone could inform me if a body kit from the US will fit my mazda protege BJII. Have emailed the place i like and they say the kit is for a US spec mazda protege not sure though if they are the same as an Australian spec mazda protege???
Any help would be appreciated.

The USDM Protegé ES, etc had a different bumper to the AUDM and JDM Protegés. But I think the rear bumpers were the same. If you are getting a whole replacement bumper, you should be fine, but I'm not sure about the grill... The sideskirts will be no problem at all.

Im pretty sure the front bar is the same and the side skirts and the same, but i think there is a difference between the hatch and the sadan rear bar.
remember the protege5 in the US is the hatch model. but the protege5 and the BJ astina hatch have the same rear bar

my rear bar if off a JDM familia and it fitted perfectly.

Front bar is only the same on the Protegé5 and SP20, and the Protegé5 has a deeper rear bumper. But since he has a sedan, that doesn't matter. :p

Anyhow, as per the piccy above, their standard Protegé has a different front bumper, so be careful... The MSP sedan might have a different rear bumper too?

Thanks For ur advise the kit i like is called (Extreme Dimensions Elixir Body Kits)
the web adress is http://www.andysautosport.com/mazda/...me_dimensions/ if that helps.

Well, since it replaces both the front and rear bumpers entirely, you won't have any problem fitting it.

USDM kits will fit you BJ2. want to sell your front bar?

Brisbane_boy 15-06-2010 06:48 PM

hey Evade. Where can u get ur front apron from?
I see carmate here in australia have it but rather buy it from the sourse?

I got my stock front bar here that im not using either?

sirmal 15-06-2010 07:20 PM

Hey Evade thanks for the info ive decided to go with JDM sport 20 kits as they are cheaper in bits for me to get from Japan and yes i will be selling my standard front bar as soon as i source an sp20 one in good nick.

EVADE 24-06-2010 06:22 PM

no prob but sourcing a lip is a different story

Bris the front is a Real JDM MintBlue Front Bar str8 from Japan
the Carmate is a knockoff since its a one piece front. The JDM are lips that have to be molded to the stock bars Front and Back. I would just get MB/MN knockoff to save money. but its up to you.

Hey All can anybody tell me if the rear lip (addon to bumper) from a hatch or wagon BJII will fit a BJII sedan or not????

Front Bar
 
Hey Evade will be happy to sell my original front bar once my JDM sport 20 one arrives from japan depending on what u are going to offer me if u still want a stock one that is.

There different. Chicaboo would prolly know how much difference, dunno who else. There different enough to not fit correctly, the sedan and hatch bumpers are different lengths :)
