HAHAHAHA awesome you not the only person having issues with the FTO conversion.... My issue is that i think the body shop i went with is VERY skilled in SOME areas but NOT in others.... WELL i think there not great when it comes to the FTO conversion... Atleast in a TIMELY fashion...

It took me like 5 or 6 months to get my FTO bozz Speed Bumper and FTO headlights..... Now another 6 months so far in body work.... WELL not continious work... since i am sponsored i can't bitch to much cuz its practically free...

Here are some of my pics.... OH i converted my car to RHD as well...

Car will look much like this when completed.... THis is a FTO not a MR2 FYI

**srt_4zx** · 04-04-2007, 07:08 AM

I'm excited for you shit.. I just took my car to my local body shop in disgust because i cant find anyone to ******* do the conversious in my area.. I'm still looking

**GF3** · 04-04-2007, 10:13 AM

Where are you? What bumper are you doing? I figured since i have to customize the bumper anyway i wanted a rare kickass bumper that NO ONE has

**VTsuckah131** · 04-05-2007, 06:21 AM

unless you have a nice radiator to show off, I suggest making that front bumper vent smaller or you'll end up showing a lot of unsightly backeting and such.

Yea i am planning to put a AL fluidyne radiator there.... i know what your saying though... that was the first thing i thought of since we can't put a intercooler in the front like everyone else.... to bad tho.. my intercooler is HUGE

i thought about it, but i always have a thing of that Damn FTO light conversion.

I think those headlights would look sooo nice on an MR2. It would be a low rise alternative to the Rev6. Does anyone the measurements of that bulb housing?

**tucky** · 04-12-2007, 05:36 PM

Credit to you mate for having the balls to go through with it! Keep us posted.

**evade_07** · 06-14-2007, 01:06 PM

hey GF3 im trying to do the FTO conversion as well, any information, tips, photos, walkthroughs would be great and really appreciated! can you help me out? thanks in advance!

**schmiddr2** · 08-09-2007, 01:59 AM

So, is it done? Either way FTO'S are awesome. Hope it goes well.
Has anyone tried any other factory headlights from something other than the FTO, even if they're not HID? Any suggestion or pics would be great.

**evade_07** · 08-09-2007, 03:42 AM

i actually had to use my funds for the fto conversion on other things so that project is on hold. but i will keep it posted
