Updated.

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

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

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.

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?

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