NCDavid98 · 10-14-2009, 12:21 AM

Hello all,
My name is David I reside in North Carolina. This is my first time owning a MR2 im addicted now. Ive owned the current MR2 I have for a month now. Hope to learn alot on here. Thanks have a great day. -David

I purchased this car as it sits right now. I do not like "euro" style lights, therefore im on the lookout for some stock lights. Also the front bumper is fiberglass and is cracked so thank god I do bodywork, im planning on repairing it as soon as i can get a paint code for this "custom color" on this MR2. Im going to be getting staggard wheels installed as soon as I pick some out the tires that are on the car currently are brand new so im in no hurry ill just take my time and purchase what I want.

Indeed I wish the previous owner would have left it white. As far as the corner lights go, im missing the peice on the passenger side its the smaller lense, It never came with the car, im wanting to put some stock amber turn signal lights back on it. What can I say im really not into the Euro style clear lense and the tail lights that are on this car now...

mmm i always wondered why people put gen2 spark plugs on the gen1 5sfe.....
always thought that was weird.....

you probably could sell those tail lights for about 100 buy the 91-93s or you can spend 250-350 to get the 94+ tail lights
i twill try to find the link for you where those corner signals are. lol

is that the ferrari bumper? someone is trying to sell..

Im listing the tail lights on here now for sale. Yes I believe it is the "ferrari" style bumper F355? mine is all busted up and its going to be a treat for me to fix. Not that bad off. I have lined up getting some 92 tail lights, really cant afford to be spending 250-300 on 94+ tails with a baby on the way. However they do look nice!

datguydeni · 10-18-2009, 05:01 PM

can you take a picture of the center panel for me?
i actually may buy that from you if the guy did a decent job of making them fit with the 94+ tail lights.
my work seems sloppy

btw here's a guy from the other board selling corners for 20$
Parts for sale

not sure how amber corners would look on a orange/yellow car already might look too flush lol.

Yeah tell him to shoot me an email im kinda in debate to keep clear corners or go to amber its kinda hard to decide. As far as the lights, yeah 130+ for brand new lights I can see that but mine are used so i figured I would let them go for a reasonable price. I just listed them and I have 5 watchers on them!

datguydeni · 10-19-2009, 01:29 AM

well they are only 20$ shipped that's a steal already xD and you could get away selling your clears for 3x that lol

Yeah, However im missing the passenger side smaller bumper light peice. I have the peice that the light goes in so I have a turn signal there. I just dont have that other peice. I wish I could just buy that one peice.
