anyone else think the rears look incomplete?

mk1doridori · 10-26-2009, 04:16 AM

i was messing around with a 3d modeling program, it helps give a good perspective to certain mods that photoshop just cant touch.
now onto the subject at hand:

i absolutely love how mk1's look, except for the rear end, i alsway thought that the rear glass drop too abrutly.
so i hatched this idea:

opinions?

MR JAS · 10-26-2009, 04:35 AM

i like it now make it out of cardboard if it still looks good make it out of fiberglass

mr3 · 10-26-2009, 08:01 AM

Id put it on my car if you decide to make and sell.

louvres? there used to be a company who made them in the 80's

mr3 · 10-26-2009, 08:44 AM

Maybe they could be made with a hinge so then it would just flip up when work has to be done.

Exactly, MADE. I'm going to imagine they were hard to find back then and now there probably won't be any at all. I've not seen one of them kits ever. If you find one, let me know, I'm interested.

Toyota MR2 Rear Window Louvers - Astra Hammond

still available $190 something plus shipping.

traintech86 · 10-26-2009, 04:30 PM

i kinda want to see a pic of a 2 with them on there. anyone seen any? maybe a little photoshop action?

mk1doridori · 10-26-2009, 06:22 PM

wow, they really do make these...i had no idea.

thanks for the link, might pick these up. hope they look as good as i imagined.

and yeah i know it could use a few more polys, but i model for GTA and my grafix card sucks ass, so the less polys the faster it goes lol.

Eh, not bad for an American car. So if I decide to keep my mk1 and not go to the mk2, I'll be ordering the louvers. Might take me a little but if I'm keeping my car, these will be installed. Who wants the stock toyota sunshield?
