Default 2002 Protege 5 Project

I have inherited this sporty wagon from my aunt who has now relocated over to Germany. What I what to do is:

1. Update tires. I am aware that the Tire Size is 195/50-16. Any suggestions on Brand and location to purchase.

2. Audio. Here is what I have been researching as far as a replacement for Scarlett (thats what I have named her because she is red)

113KDCX696 Kenwood Excelon KDC-X696 CD Receiver
669PP500 Posi-Products Connector Kit 16 pieces for Car Stereos
107DXI5250 Polk Audio DXi5250 5.25" Component Speaker Systems
1086032SI Infinity Reference 6032si 6.75" 2-way Speakers Shallow
15419405 Dynamat 19405 Xtreme Trunk Kit 20 Sq Ft, 5 sheets
204BTA1010 Bazooka BTA10100 10" 100 Watt Powered Subwoofer
142PA10 EFX Amplifier Wiring Kit 10-gauge 250-watt w/Patch Cord
500MRPF300 Alpine MRP-F300 50W x 4 Car Amplifier

142A17C EFX 17-ft. Stereo RCA Patch Cable
043185653 Arista 18-5653 50-ft. Spool 16 AWG Speaker Wire

3. Paint and Repair. Being 10 years old her paint has scratches, the clear coat is fading and in certain spots the paint has fadded. Any suggestions on where I should go to keep the same red but just update? Maaco or a Pro body shop??


4. Brakes rotors, pads and calipers. Any suggestions here??

I put a Ecxelon 396 receiver in with a single din adapter and it sounds and looks great. I am researching replacing the rear door speakers now.
