Mazda Protege Hoods

The modern Protege was forged from years of development; getting an early start back in the early 60's as the historical “R360”. Few realize that the Protege platform was used in two of America's best-selling economy cars during the 90's: The Ford Escort, and Mercury Tracer. Production of the Protege ended in 03' when the Mazda 3 took over the reigns. If the hood of your Protege has become damaged beyond practical repair, you don't have to feel like the Mazda dealer is your only option for a new one. There are reasonably-priced options available in the aftermarket that are as good, or possibly better than OEM options.

Aftermarket brands like Replace give you the chance to be frugal with your purchase, and not sacrifice on the quality of materials or workmanship. They use modern tooling practises to create a hood that has the same measurements and look of the original which's also warrantied to last for as long as you own the car. How many companies offer a lifetime warranty against early rust-through damage, or buckling due to errors in workmanship? Replace uses the same sheet metal as Mazda for their hood, and no alterations are needed to make their finished OE parts fit directly on your car.
