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

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!

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

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"
