Looks good in black. Just the rear is too chunky/square looking for me and I'm not a fan of the rear lights either. But the rest of the kit is really nice. Lovely car :thumleft:

regardless of whether i like the kit or not, it looks like a lot of time and consideration has been spent to get the car to where it is now. i do have to say that having seen pictures of other mr2's with this kit, none of them appear to have had the same minor adjustments to the front lights nor the effort put into installing the kit cleanly. if i can notice panel misalignment in a pic it must be awful in person, so yours must be pretty tightly alighned.

theres lots of scope for modification from the point the car is at right now especialy with the clamshell front allowing easier light replacement options and also the rear horisontal lightstrip as this is the major turn off with this kit in my opinion, but then i like marmite, so others may not agree.

i would be interested in seeing more intimate pictures of how the front opens and has been finished on the underside, whether that vent is functional in the hood and what the exhaust is as its a centre exit

Ill get some more pic posted mate, just been busy with work, will get some more detailed pics, and with the front end up etc, it has been put together properly, not rushed, everything sits right, even the alloys sit perfect with the line of the body, as u get some the alloys sit to far in,

Ill check the exhaust as well, its a customised one, sounds nice tho, will post up a video soon as well

what other colours have you seen with this kit on it?, so far i know of that grey/silver 1, theres a red 1, but, an im sure theres a blue 1 about somewhere.

Ive been lead to believe they stop doing this bodykit now, Replikits used to do it, but ive heard they stopped it now!
