Best front for mr2? - Page 2

Ghost Ridah · 03-21-2007, 05:17 PM

I am a huge fan of the 93+ lip or the forgman lip, I really like both of those, but yeah late oem FTW.

OEM 93+ FTW

^^^ see no one can tell me that the kit and fenders don't flow well with the original body lines of the mr2.

I would much rather have an agressive looking mr2 that looks like that.....rather then stock

canadam · 03-21-2007, 07:21 PM

Really? I don't think the flares on Brian's silver car flow well withthe original lines of the MR2 at all.

Saint · 03-21-2007, 07:29 PM

walker ftw. flows well, looks stock, but updates the look quite a bit. =D

shimric · 03-21-2007, 08:00 PM

Doesn't look like it could be bought from dealership at all. **If thats what you mean by "updates the look"**

I can certainly say that.

I'll never have a car with a body that modified again.

My dispute isn't with the shape or curve of the bumper, which I agree is pretty well integrated with the MR2's lines - I just don't like all the chickenwire up front. I'm just not sure how this improves the OEM chickenwireless look.

Agreed, I am not a fan of the chicken wire look on the front ends.

I will never modify the body of an MR2 ever again. Its a bigger headache than most people think.

red93turbo · 03-21-2007, 10:52 PM

I agree. Why mess with a perfect body. My 93t is just fine the way it was made...

Davis · 03-21-2007, 10:59 PM

Yup yup the OEM 93+ Lip!

Maybe the front, but that's probably b/c of the angle of the photo and the way the wheel is turned, the rear however, not at all. and who are we kidding, what happens when you need to remove parts for repairs and stuff?

looks like a lot of hard work and is well done but i don't think it "flows".

No offence to Noctural btw. beautiful car.

MR2TRD1 · 03-21-2007, 11:21 PM

I have been debating going back stock, but I think the Border bumper fills the front of the MR2 out. Stock rear looks perfect IMO and I'd have to say unless the car is low....some type of side addition needs to be done or just paint the rockers panels to match.

Sang · 03-21-2007, 11:37 PM

I vote other: C-One front lip.

About as big as a 93+ lip (which I have sitting on my porch and uninstalled for the past 12 months, lol) just a tad bigger.

Edit: BTW...check the for sale forums sometime in the next 2 weeks...i'll get around to putting my 93 lip up for sale (shameless plug

)
