No front lip
Anyone have any pics of MR2 without front lip? I'm curious to know if it looks good without it?

The OEM front bumper I purchased doesn't have front lip and from the pic from Fast Eddie, it looks good..
Is there a reason why you think its a bad idea?

You'll find over time the bottom of the bar will sag, its very thin plastic and the whole bumper will start to lose shape.

Mine is only off because its going into the workshop and its to low to get into there driveway. You need the lip that's what all your under plastics attach to give it support.

The later model 02+ 92+ front lips also need the correct hardware set to mount them. There are about 6 plates/strips you need, without which it will be a PITA to try and mount. 76863-17040 76864-17020 76857-17020 76858-17020 76853-17020 76861-17020

Re-read dylmrt's post.
Those front lips have no stiffness on their own, so the proper hardware is needed to keep the the whole lower bumper edge stiff with the correct shape. Bolts and washers on their own won't do that.
