UPDATE:

The mold for the 94+ center panel is 90% complete. We are detailing the mold and should have a first part off the mold in a few days. The center panel will look very beautiful because the mold is professional built using carbon fiber for dimensional stability.

- Carbon Fiber $170.00
- Fiber glass $140.00
Now that I'd be more likely to do. Will the MR2 insignia show through the new panel? Thanks.

Greg,

Yes, that what we intended to do. We try to integrate a rectangular window for the MR2 insignia to show through.

Thanks

We are trying to get the prototype in fiberglass and make a mold out of. It will take us a while before we have some pictures for you to see. Please hang tight with us. We will make it happen.

94 CF CENTER PANEL PROJECT UPDATE

We have the first piece successfully molded. This prototype piece was de-molded without issues. There will be some secondary processes to trim, flood coat and UV coat. We will have pictures posted soon.

91-93 CF CENTER PANEL PROJECT UPDATE
The model for smooth-across 91-93 center panel is being made. We will evaluate how it fits the car before the production mold is made.

Thank you everyone for your patience!

1st Piece Off Mold (94 Rear Center Panel)

Please note that this piece does not have the UV clear coat yet. It will need to be wet sanded down before the UV clear coat.

Let us know what you think!

The back is molded in either carbon fiber or fiberglass depending on how you order it. Yes, It will accept the standard mounting hardware without additional modification. Just take all of the hardwares from the stock panel and transfer it to the CF panel.

We are designing the backside so it will accept the stock hardware. Once we are finished, lots of pictures will be posted.
