Hey Guys, its gujustud from the MPSport.net website.

Not sure if you guys ever read any posts on our side, but I've made some custom battery tie downs for the 3rd gen + proteges. The logo on the ones I've made so far is from our site. I'll have pictures in 1-2 days.

My question is that if you guys are looking for some down there in the East? I'd be able to machine groove your club logo on the tie down, and then I coudl ship a whole bunch over, but I'd only be willing to do this if I could get a good number of how many are seriously interested?

Just a bit of background, but my dad owns his own CNC Machine shop, so these tie downs are CNC machined. I'm doing this out of my own money in the evenings when the machine isin't in use. The cost of the tie downs really covers the material, and the anodizing (whatever color you want, you get), and very little of my time. I'm doing this mainly because I love our protege's, and we're the best car out there on the road (when you compare to the honda's acuras, etc etc etc)...

anyways average price is looking around $55 for the tie downs, but if I can get a bigger order from you guys out there, I could try and lower the price, but keep in mind I'd have to ship these over, and there would be a bit of a cost for them as well... anyways!!!! I'll get you pictures in a day or two...

Yes, pics would definitely be a good thing. If we can establish some kind of deal by the end of August, I have friends who are coming back from Vancouver to Toronto for university, so you can give it to one of them and we can save on shipping!

Here you go. These are not yet anodized, nor touched up. Just basic polishing so far, so they will look a lot better once ready to go. Also for your club I would most likely be changed the mpsport.net part to your toprotege.com logo which would also look pretty darn wicked. Leme know what you guys think.

Pricing that I've released to all the clubs are as follows:

$50 - Tiedown itself. NOT anodized, polished aluminum.
$55 - Tiedown anodized (clear coat). Recommended if you wanted to keep the aluminum color but with a anodized clear coat on top.
$60 - Tiedown anodized (colored, several colors avali)
$70 - Tiedown anodized (clear or colored) with your nick name engraved on it, or something else engraved. This would give tiedown a more CUSTOM look to it, and underneath the toprotege.com logo would be your nickname if you wanted.
