Not bad, looks like maybe it's trying to be Porsche-esque in the rear but other than that it's fine.

Looks like the reasonably attractive offspring of an S2000 and Elise from the front, but the side and rear are pretty awkward IMO.

Civic coupe tails FTL...

the fact that it looks so much like a carrera GT is what makes it a fail...but a very nice kit, the car seems happy so should us

I like it.

It's aggressive and eye-catching, which is what the MR2's attitude should be.

As clean as the kit is it is a total fail as it screams Carrera GT wannabee and renders the car totally unrecognizable as an MR2 Spyder.

My favorite kit for the MR2 Spyder so far remains to be the Reckless widebody. It builds on and enhances the car's original shape, not overwrites it.

I'm not sure about it. Maybe needs bigger wheels.

Very Carrera-gt esque. I like it (inspite of the very obvious nod to Porsche), but It needs nicer looking wheels. And a 2ZZ turbo..... The 900hp ab-flug Supra was pretty awesome

ABflug???? just another lame *** name for a tuning company in the long list of weird ones from Japan. Example: power house amuse, junction produce, the list goes on and on,


The kit is decent, but the name of the company has to go

Not bad. Roll bar is ugly though. Looks like a paper clip.
