2002 Mazda Protege5 Pick-up    

One of a kind show car (or a truck?)

This might be one of the most unique and only Mazda Protege5 pick-up in the world. Exceptional amount of work was given to this car. No expenses were spared in order to built this quality tuning show vehicle.

Built back in 2005 when the tuning was huge due to Fast and Furious movies this car still solid and cool whenever it goes. The goal was an ambitious project of a wild tuning vehicle. 

They took a production Proteg5 sport wagon and proceeded to lop off its top and eliminate the two rear doors to fashion a pickup bed of sorts, this with the help of Pro Design in Santa Ana, California. From there, they extensively modified DG Motorsports' existing Proteg5 body kit to mate to the now two-door pick-up style body.

Pro Design was then able to fabricate a removable rack that in its first version was designed to transport skateboards. The exterior was finished with House of Kolor Limetime Pearl. Paint is great, as well the custom made body-kit. No cracks.

The interior was finished in Limetime Green trim painted by Wet Works Garage and accented by orange soft trim. The Cobra Imola II racing seats, distributed by Sube Sports, were trimmed to match the rest of the Stitchcraft interior.

The result is a striking contrast, some might say a clash of color, but when you take a look at it, it works. Since this is a standard-­-cab pickup, it would present a serious challenge to the mobile electronics wizards at Advantage Audio in Brea, California.

They solved the space issues by constructing a multichamber enclosure that houses two Clarion 12-­-inch subwoofers mounted in the center in a top/bottom arrangement, flanked by two 500-­-watt Clarion amplifiers. The center stack houses a Clarion VRX925VD AM/FM/CD/DVD/LCD receiver that controls the audio/video components. With its built-­-in DVD player and retractable screen, its cutting-­-edge technology makes the cockpit a very entertaining place to be.

The stitching and the attention to every detail are beyond reproach, testimony to his dedication to craftsmanship of the highest order. Also let’s not forget the amount of carbon fiber all over this vehicle.

It looks amazing. While Clarion gear dominates the interior, it's the 19-inch Axis Touring Cup Evolution multipiece wheels that dominate the exterior. The open design of the wheels, shod with 215/35ZR19 Yokohama Parada tires, are perfect to show off the Wilwood 13-inch brake upgrade featuring cross-drilled rotors and six-piston calipers. Keeping the rubber glued to the road is a B&G coilover suspension system. The result is an aggressive look unmatched by any other tuner car (or truck) for that matter.

The 2.0 4 cylinder turbo received an addition of the intercooler and the fully functional Nitrous Express two-tank nitrous system, which required Pro Design to rework the bed rack, the upgraded Bosal after-cat exhaust system gives this car an exhaust note that sounds as if it is emanating from something with twice as many cylinders and three times the displacement.

The flawless paintwork is from the talented gun of Derek Teklak at Body Pros. Over this canvass, long-time collaborator Rob Wilson at Modern Image Signworks applied the attention-grabbing graphics, echoing the same orange accent color used to great effect in the interior.

This vehicle was kept into a private Florida Car Collection and now is your opportunity to finally own an affordable and unique show car. The vehicle is no perfect by any means. It deserves some attention to little details.
