I wouldnt. Mazda did a great job designing the car, inkluding the lights. No need to mess that up... =)

^^^ Exactly ^^^

Why would you want to cover them up?

Maybe on a black, or green with black alloys and heavy tints, to go for the stealth look, but otherwise not for me.

vinyl and heat ..but i don't like it....to me it detracts from the looks of the car...and IMHO...a little to "over the top" if you know what I mean...reminds me of the day when everyone was putting those lexan/acrylic headlamp covers on their Chevy Berretas...

the overlays from the original post were made by a guy who came to the protege5.com forums and made overlays for the p5 when members asked him to. im sure if there was enough interest he would be willing to make them. i believe his website was www.bluebatmobile.com. he was a very trustworthy vendor on the p5 site and his products were VERY cheap (price, not quality).

hate to break it to you but i had them on my last car and his product is cheap thin vinyl and if not installed with a blow dryer, squeegee, soap, and a hell of allot of patience it will never fit....had to return 2 sets of side marker overlays because they werent cut striaght and one set of headlight overlays...they are alos paper thin and do not color match.....you get what you pay for in this case for sure!
