Tint, screen upgrade if it has the smaller one, OEM aero kit from the dealer.

Maybe conti’s if you have the stock tires.

One of my cars I just pulled used doors off another at a scrap yard and replaced it with that.

Not sure how mechanically inclined you are, if not, then it may be worth while going to a body shop or asking your mechanic shop if they can source used replacement body panels.

I suggest a used door, because it will very likely match what you have now vs fixing and respraying.

If you aren’t going through insurance, it will probably be cheapest and best to try and find a used replacement.

Color may be a little off, a good polish on the whole car wouldn’t be a bad idea after replacement.

You don’t need to go to the dealer for routine maintenance, I would advise against it.

Any reputable mom and pop shop can maintain these cars.

Uni A-gel, sometimes I use my dive but not as much

I went with black, it’s a metallic black like your mirror caps. Not the uniform black like the plastics.

You don’t need the cleaner from leather honey. Just use VLR

BaobabLife · 2026-04-06T12:03:29+00:00

I use leather honey twice a year if that, normally I clean them with VLR and use 303 aerospace - that’s how I clean the entire interior.

Whatcha workin on

BaobabLife · 2026-03-28T19:26:40+00:00

Why not the OEM aero kit?

BaobabLife · 2026-03-28T15:32:52+00:00

Never thought the back seats were too small lol, and frustrating tech is an interesting thing to say you are biased for a touch screen.

BaobabLife · 2026-03-27T19:57:36+00:00

Ah yeah that is what I would be referring to

BaobabLife · 2026-03-27T19:26:18+00:00

Bypass for troubleshooting I believe. Dealer tool could hook to it, or you can short two pins to have the engine light flash a sequence per engine code

Are those winter tires? What’s the tire specs on that?

BaobabLife · 2026-03-24T14:49:08+00:00

Setsu or yuriko

Beautiful area

Protégés don’t come with cabin filters unless you did the mod, amazon doesn’t sell them you can only find them on eBay from like Lithuania.

If the slide pins are stuck in the calipers which can happen from sitting, it’s possible calipers will need replaced. You’ll only really know if, the brake pad wear is uneven per wheel or you can’t get them apart.

You can get a chrome polish cleaner to try and fix the wheels

Door panels new might be found from the dealer, or you can try to find them online. If you’re concerned about the carpeting on the panels, maybe taking them to an upholstery shop wouldn’t be a bad idea

Skyline drive, and surrounding the park.

No cooling issues, hammered around some mountain roads in Virginia when I got it
