Sorry, just got to put my 2c into this thread. For those who said they like the OEM 'kit' because it just looks better, that's cool. Taste is very subjective and one man's meat is another man's poison. However, to those who say that they want to keep their's stock because stock car's will be worth more down the track, or because it will be hard to find a stock MR2 10 years fromow (or even right now), or because it will be hard to sell a kitted MR2 later, or anything along these lines, I have to ask why you bought your MR2 in the first place.

I bought my MR2 to mod it, and to drive/use it. Modifying it gives me enjoyment in itself, and furthermore, I gain enjoyment in driving a modified car. When I am done with my MR2 (whenever that may be), I will then sell it, or otherwise dispose of it. What I did not buy my MR2 for is to keep it stock and garaged, so that I can maybe sell it for close to the price I originally bought it for down the track. Why base your decision on whether or not to mod your car on how much you will get for it when you sell it later? A car is usually not an investment, it is an expense, and it is made to be used. There are far safer, and more reliable and productive investment vehicles out there...cash in the bank would be one.

If you enjoy customizing and personalizing your car, I say go for it. After all, if you didn't buy your MR2 to gain some kind of pleasure from it, why did you buy it in the first place? Surely not just so that you can give someone else the opportunity and pleasure of buying a stock car in later years?

Does anyone have a front bumper that isn't busted or broken they want to get rid of?? I am open for anything at this point! I bought a mr2 with the veilside style front bumper that was busted up and I need a new bumper, but I am kind of broke right now! This economy has really put a damper on my project MR2! Any help would be unbelievably appreciated!!!!! Thanks!

Border front, Greddy sides, and a Toms rear. Gold/bronze 5 stars with a crome lip. Stock red paint with black trim peices, Stock 93 N/A wing, and no fogs. Oh and rev 6 headlight conv. That's my dream exterior.

ive always been a fan of the border style. it just looks mean as hell but that madpsi is looking hot too. the stock 93+ looks good if you want a stock look but who is gonna do that if they buy sideskirts, rear bumper, etc. i dont think it would look too good. but hey i might be wrong.

Stock 93+ lip with the Greddy sides and Toms rear. Very subtle and clean.
