Nice work. Why does everyone focus on upgrading 94+ tails or center garnish plates? There are other companies doing this already. I do not think the new look of the 94+ complete set up justify's the cost it takes to get there for a 91-93. Money is not an option to me but cost vs. asthetic appeal are. Of course those are two factors that vary differently based on each individuals preferences and budgets. But for me I am soon to have a lot of extra parts in the tail light area because I just do not like the current options out there yet. I have 3 sets of tails, two garnishes and one on the way and I still do not think I will be happy with my results.

I think a good CF part to produce would be a center garnish for the 91-93 MKII's. I really would like to see another option here besides the stock "honeycomb" look. Imagine a smooth center garnish flush with the tails without those hideous rectangle cut outs for the reverse lights. An "MR2" logo pressed in would also add a nice touch. In fact, If you could take the logo to the board and just use the "M" the "R" in the shape of the birds head and the "2" and press them into the center of the piece, that would be pure genius. Even if you have to spend an extra $50 on a longer lock cylinder, I think that a ton of older MKII owners would jump all over this group buy. With the cost of the lock cylider, a new CF plate or fiberglas plate that could be painted to match the color of your car would give you a smoother more flowing and modern tail light area for under $200. Alot better than $400 to $700 to swap from 91-93 to 94+s. Please do it, I will be the first to pre-pay on the group buy.
