Would a 90 front end fit a 93?

[BlitzKeg]

Does anybody know if a 90 mr2 front end would fit a 93 mr2?

I just need the hood, fenders, & the front bumper.
The pictures look like it would fit the car but I'm not about to call long distance and spend money if somebody can tell me for free.

I looked it up on a all-data program and a local tech school and no mr2 from 1990 came up. I'm thinking the owner might be wrong on the year of his/her mr2.

Yeah it'll fit, only difference is the front lip.

If by 90 you mean a 91 that was produced in 90, then yes it will... but you wont have the purrty lip

Lachean, it depends on where he lives ... if he is in New Zealnd, Australia or Japan ... he could have a 1990 MKII.

They just were not in the US and Europe until 91.

Its a 305 area code so its in the states
Their prolly a buncha idiots that don't know the year.
I use to get customers like that all the time at firestone, some people don't even know the make or model of their car.
I'm gonna have to call the and give my left nut to the phone company.

or the car had been brought into the states for parts or something.... just a thought.

wasn't there also a couple of front spoilers? Na and turbo? kinda glad i dont have the lip on mine, local council has a love affair with speed humps, cheaper than traffic lights perhaps, kiwis, always thinking with their pockets...

[JekylandHyde]

Toyota only had 2 different fon spoilers: 90-92 and 93+

The NAs and Turbos have the same piece.

[TRD2000]

sorry jeff, there was a turbo front with foglights and an NA front without, theres also a centre splitter on the na version. could be a JDM thing but i've seen it on Australian models as well. Will try and get a pic some time.

look at the mr2 link, the white one has no spots, the yellow? one down the bottom has a middle splitter and the black one doesn't.

[JekylandHyde]

sorry TRD2000, but "spoilers" refers to only the front lip. And there were two as I described above.

As for front "b]bumpers[/b] there are only 2 regardless of the year (with and without foglights).
It is a common misconception that the bumper without the fog lights is the "NA" bumper.
There are turbos without fogs from the factory and there are NAs that had fogs/driving lights from the factory.

[TRD2000]

ahh ok, i can't remember where i read that they were n/a no fogs, but i knew i had seen the different fronts.
it's kind of hard to distinguish the spoiler on an mr2 cause its all one part...isn't it?
also... isn't the protruding spoiler/lip on the later mr2s an additional part that could be bolted to the front spoiler of the older bumper/spoiler? you know where the black plastic part on the bottom is, i thought it could go on over/replace that bit on the bottom of the bumper? like the Greddy front lip.

[JekylandHyde]

To be exact, there is actually only ONE bumper for the MKII. The bumpers without the fog light holes are MARKED on the inside to have them cut out.

If you look at pics of my cars, you may notice that Jekyl NOW has Fog lights ... that I took off of Hyde

As for your other question, the 93+ lip does not "fit" over the 91/92 piece ... it is a direct replacement for it. They bolt up to the same location, so it is one or the other.
You may notice that Hyde (a '91) has the 93 lip.

[TRD2000]

yeah i noticed thats why i figured you'd know.

the front bumper with the splitter across the air dam has brackets molded in for the fog lights that the ones without don't, theres a couple round town where the guys have taken out the spotlights and there is like a flat plate behind where the spots go, body coloured and i think its part of the centre splitter.

[TRD2000]

any which way the front will fit the other years....

mine got reversed into last week....
