I personally think the zr1's look better, still nice though.

One of my best friends lives in Kissimmee, he moved down there to go to MMI. Look for a protege 5 (station wagon looking thing) with the biggest fox sticker you can imagine on the back glass.

Looks great. Don't spend anything else on the car and save up for a lowering kit. In fact I need to do that too!
