I know I must be 1 of a very few but I'm not keen on the red triangles but am really liking the whole Jdm amber look at the min and think I've had my time of the black on black on black with the whole window tints black wheels as so on and it's time for a change :)

Oh and you can get the triangle bits in red that might be an option.

2nd looks silly man, just that small bit of orange.

The first looks badass, but depends on your front lights.

Stick with option 1 or go full stock.

I like first pic. Not normally a fan of tinted lights,but with the all black it makes the red very striking. Reminds of me ZR Corvette

I know the amber look is dated compared to most modern cars today but the MK2 MR2 is becoming more of a classic and in all fairness there is not a great deal of cars on the road today that look like them. I think the original ambers at the rear look fine. It's genuine and unique now. 8)
