New guy checking in

What's up everybody, new guy checking in. I've been lurking for a few weeks, figured I'd sign up. Currently, I drive a 95 Miata~> carbon fiber hood, swiss cheese airbox w/k&N Filter. My wife's rolling in my 2002 Mazda Protege 5 wagon~> 17's warpped in Falkens for the summer, Bomez intake w/Blitz air filter, OBX 4-2-1 Header, Mazdaspeed Axleback exhaust, PIAA fogs, billet grill, tints, Espiler springs and Tokico struts, AWR 22mm rear swaybar, Optima Yellow top, upgraded horn, Rockblocker protection for the headlights and fog lights, Pioneer HU and speakers w/Bazooka 500w amp, mazada cargo tray, tinted, and I did a mild sound deadening job with both foam sheets and Edead v1. So I'm new the this forum, but not new to the game. I'm Slowpro98 on Mazdas247.com. Almost all of my mods were purchased on that forum and installed with my car club NEPOC~> the New England Protege Owner's Club. I'm looking to part out my wagon and get a Vibe. Hopefully a '09 Vibe GT. My wife has been checking out ROTM pics and said that when we get one, no matter what, I have to lower it for her (God I love my wife!!) and tint it cause she works in Hartford. So I'll be lurking around. PEACE

I've only owned my '05 for a month and I would readily buy a Vibe if I didn't have this one. Welcome!

Thanks guys. We're waiting to see what the lease options look like. If it's favorable, we're sticking with K.I.S.S. it's going to be my wife's daily, so any mods will be geared towards her driving pleasure. I'll probably get some cool rims, sport max 002's and some good rubber. As much as I love the look of 40's, I'll probably inch out on the rubber, something like 205/55/r16's. She does a lot of city driving and I don't want her to worry about rashing new shoes. She's already started picking out some graphics for the rear window. And she wants fuzzy dice, lol. I'm also looking into swapping in some LEDs for the stock interior lights and the rear plate lights.
