i havent done it, but i have seen it and i truly think its a waste of a perfectly nice mr2. i think the mr2 looks way better stock....

please dont do that to the mr2..just go buy a ferrari...

I wouldn't reccomend f355 body kit...if you want to do that, just get a fiero they have lots of different ferrari and even lambo kits and the fiero costs barely anything compared to an mr2.

Those pedals look very nice wild willy...keep up the good work and I might get a pair for my 240sx or mr2 once I finally can afford it :)

Funny..I used to own a 240sx..I bought one the 1st year they came out 1989....That was a fun car..i missed it when i traded it for my 2 in 90

As far as the pedlas go..I'll be around!! Thanks for the kind words

and if you want to spend large amounts on a body kit, which you most likely would with the ferrari kit then i would just go with the widebody kit. it looks very very clean.

denso, the border kit is HOT!:bigthumb:

Before though, just scan ebay for it a few times. I normally see a brand new widebody for much less.

Where have you seen a ferari body kit for the newer mr2's? I would Make my car look like a 200,000 car if I could for 3,000.

Keep it looking like an mr2...the 3rd gens look very nice with just an inch lowered all around...other than that they look better than a ferrari. If you really want a ferrari then you can shell out 20k and get an 80's f308 or for 45-60k you can get an f348 or for about 65-75k you can get an f355. They might sound nice and drive really well, but for a lot less you can have a better handling car that looks a lot better.

To me a Ferrari says "I'm rich and stupid...look at me!!!!!" while a Toyota MR2 says "Cheap, fast and great handling car"

i think that the ferrari body kit makes it into a kind of "wanna be" car when it is perfectly fine the way it already looks...i personally perfer the trd wide body kit

They dont call the MR2 "poor mans Ferrari" for nothing! its for people that cant afford ferraris... but who would want to.. for the price of a Ferrari you could but 10 or so MR2's think about it... MR2 look great the way it is! :smokin:

I THINK IT IS WORTH IT BECAUSE IF DONE RIGHT IT WOULD BE A TOTAL PACKAGE, ALSO IF YOU REALLY WANT HAVE FUN WITH IT YOU CAN DROP IN A NORTHSTAR V8 IT FITS PERFECT. BUT IF YOU ARE THINKING OF PUTTING MONEY INTO A MR2 DO THE FERRARI CONVERSION AND PUT SOME DEEP DISH WHEELS AND BUILD THE TURBO MOTOR AND PURCHASE THE 355 DASH THAT THEY MAKE FOR THE MR2 THIS SITE HAS EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO COMPLETE THE CAR.
