Are you talking about the pictures of the white Kei Office in the garage by itself and all the other cars are parked outside the bay doors??? If so, that's not the Kei Office car, it was a demo car that an actual mr2 owner had them personally put the parts on the car. That's the only other one I know about than the 3 spokes..... see if you can find a picture

OEM, *maybe* with a madpsi lip....:/

I also recommend against kits. I bought my car with one installed (see avatar), and it destroyed the fenders, everything under the front bumper was removed, and it chipped and cracked like crazy. Lousy piece of ****, it was....I burned it. It was worth not selling it just to see it burn...

Then you should have put the under panels back on!

I have never had a problem with a kit. My rx7 sits under an inch off the ground and it hasn't had any problems........and it's held on with 7 zipties!!!!!

If you pay attention, brace it accordingly, and don't buy a cheap knock off, you will be fine!

While I will admit that when I bought the car I was an automotive noobie, the kit was installed by the PO, and I bought it with the intention of returning it to stock. I just didn't expect when I bought it that I would also be replacing all the missing parts and fenders and such. Partly my fault for sure for not knowing what to look for, but even if it had never been for sale, the kit would have been destroyed within months.

To each his own, but I will never put a "body kit" on any ar I own, ever. Lips or functional add ons are often acceptable imo, but kits design purely for aesthetics are for the birds, if you ask me.

It looked ridiculous without the skirts, and the chip guard on the rockers was still black (I painted it eventually), so the lip appeared to be about 6" lower than the rockers...that's why I bought it knowing it had to go. The car was solid otherwise, and pulled very well, but I couldn't see that there was no front impact foam or bumper bar, and I didn't know where the front under panels and bracketry were supposed to go. All I knew was that it was the nicest MR2 anywhere near me. Some more to make fun of.

The day I bought it:




And more recently:


Engine is out in this pic, that's why it looks like a rally car...

looks like it has a lift kit. but def.. an improvement.


93+ OEM bumper, 95 spoiler and taillights.

for some odd reason i really like the wheels on the 1998 mitsubishi 3000gt. I think most people hate them, but i want to try them on an MR2.

Thanks. The engine is out in that pic, that's why it's sitting so high. The engine is in on the 2nd to last pic.

Oh I know, that's the reason I went so low with my car. It's owned by this guy Lindsay and it's my favorite FC. My car is almost identical to his except I have red interior and different wheels.


Definetly baller though!

Yeah, but now you have a celir2

It looks like they did a good job on the work and I can appreciate that, however I am against molding ANYTHING unless its a widebody kit, and even then, I only think you should mold the rear fenders...cracking and stress marks just ruin it....

Look dude, just because you're jealous of a real MR2, doesn't mean you have to disagree with me on everything
