nickleyw Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Hello All, About a year ago, I posted pics of my 1991 MR2. It was riced out pretty badly, as seen below: http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh19/nickleyw/MR2/DSCF1268.jpg There was a lot of hate, but no surprises there. But, to the dismay of many, I made it through the oven. Over the last year, I removed the body kit and stickers, and got my MR2 repainted. Figured I would put it back up on the chopping block so you all could see my progress: http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh19/nickleyw/MR2/June%2020%202010%20Goodbye%20Stickers%20and%20Bodykit/IMG_0792.jpg http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh19/nickleyw/MR2/June%2020%202010%20Goodbye%20Stickers%20and%20Bodykit/IMG_0085.jpg http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh19/nickleyw/MR2/June%2020%202010%20Goodbye%20Stickers%20and%20Bodykit/DSCF6175.jpg http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh19/nickleyw/MR2/June%2020%202010%20Goodbye%20Stickers%20and%20Bodykit/IMG_0312.jpg Yes, that front trim piece is missing... it's supposed to have a side marker light in it too. I am waiting for new pieces, without any light, to ship. Next steps? (1) Replace the faded "racing" seats with the stock ones, or better aftermarket seats. (2) Fix the a/c (3) Sound system + something I can plug my mp3 player into. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickleyw Posted August 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 What made you decide to change things up? Looks much better now The ricer look was fun for awhile, but the stock look, or I guess slightly modified look does a lot more for me. Also, the front and rear bumpers from the bodykit got a little crunched from separate incidents... neither my fault, and both purely cosmetic, but the money from the insurance allowed me to do this a lot sooner than I had planned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main3s Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Honestly it wasn't horrible in it's "rice" form... Did you get it on the cheap? It had to cost a good bit of money to by a "pimped out" car only to tear it apart and put it back to stock. Looks good now mang, :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wnaplay1647545503 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I didnt think the car looked all that bad. A bit ricerific with the decals, but a solid color and the body kit would have still worked. Car still looks good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
