Edit: I've moved my parts into Phoenix's top post.

PHOENIX · 02-15-2006, 03:07 AM

sweet adam, i was thinking about doing the same to this post, cant wait to see it when you get done.

mr2turbz - that picture is perfect, exactly what i wanted to see, thanks!

canadam · 02-15-2006, 03:44 AM

Updated.

Also note that the triangular corner pieces to the taillamp setup is red for the North American market, amber for the Japanese.

PHOENIX · 02-15-2006, 08:36 AM

Adam, theres a red x in your center panel post right under japan.

michaelmr2 · 02-15-2006, 10:11 AM

Where is the key hole?

Also, do you think that is paintable? if so, I would think it would look better painted to match the car.

Anyone with Photoshop want to give the a try?

Mike

PHOENIX · 02-15-2006, 10:15 AM

i think its chaser aero thats making a similar panel to this so you can paint it. it will definatly clean up the 91 lights.

MKII · 02-16-2006, 02:51 PM

Nice write-up here. I don't know much about MR2's yet, but a question for you. The very first picture of the grill, and "MR2" in red, was that a JDM thing? or stock USDM/JDM thing? Cause I have the same one and you have that first picture labeled as "Japan." So I was just wondering, thanks.

canadam · 02-18-2006, 11:40 PM

I think in Japan the "MR2" was body coloured... but I also thought the honeycomb grille was slightly different. I'm researching to verify

Edit: I found a picture of the other version of the honeycomb grille !

I was wondering about these tail lights... http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...e=&cardist=505

They seem to be all red... What cars came with those, if any at all? Where can they be purchased?

ecm garrett · 02-19-2006, 09:20 PM

nice write up man

PHOENIX · 02-19-2006, 11:29 PM

mp5o - those are the 94+ tail lights. The JDM version of the tail lights have amber corners and the usdm version has red corners.

NCTurbo2 · 02-19-2006, 11:48 PM

if you guys buy alteza/euro lights and put em on your mr2, please go jump off a bridge, and take the lights with you

Sirc · 02-24-2006, 07:07 PM

Those euro tails make me shed tears.

michaelmr2 · 02-24-2006, 07:46 PM

I fine these to be ok, not junk. I prefer stock 94+ lights, but these would be nice on an SMG or black MK2

Correct, red, white and yellow cars got body colour badges. Black and dark metalic green cars got CHROME letters on the badge

(Guess what i found at the wrecker yesterday on a black car)

Looks great on my red car, but you cant see a pic because my car is duuuusty.

Here is the badge itself.
