Ah, the basis of any good build. Replica body parts, eBay OEM copies, and a hood prop as part of a mod list. I had to scroll back up to the pictures because I was sure this was a Honda build thread.

Well unlike most cars a majority of the MR2s aftermarket is discontinued. Getting authentic parts means buying used and buying used means its probably damaged. I don't see the point in buying used body parts. Especially so I can tell people that if they get under the car and look behind the part they can see the GRACER sticker glassed into the part.

At least I'm not trying to fake the funk like guys with Grids and Volk stickers on them.

Looks like a good build probegt-ze. I see a lot of quality parts on that list especially that gen4 engine. Keep us posted on the build. I'm very interested to see how this turns out.
