Bad taste mr2s
Was browsing for some ideas for mods, and came across this... what should have been a really nice car, insert bad taste  here I know the intakes serve a purpose, but really... I think I'd want those windows up and tinted if I were driving through town  words don't even describe this one...  Chuck up some pics if you've seen any other mr2s that have had there naturally good aesthetics destroyed like a drop of the soap!

Normally id agree with trhe travesties. I just wish you didnt chose two cars that have these mods (not the bovs obviously...) for a purpose other than looks.
Both those cars are well known (from years ago) high performance mr2's. Someone post the s2000 and supra light conversion sw20's then we will cringe!

There are plenty of worse cars to pick... particularly ones who's mods aren't functional and performance orientated.
The bottom one looks like DavidV's car? That thing looked so awesome without the speedway sprint car wing

haha yeah i know kameleon, they are exceptional performance cars hence why i was looking into them, there's alot of nice work done, I just find it unfortunate that with all the $$ spent, to just go and finish it off aesthetically with such bad taste it turns them from being what should be an amazing car into something that is not so desirable imo

I'm sure there are way worse out there... so I thought I might start a thread and see what attrocities could be uncovered:)
I guess everyone has there own taste when it comes to these things, but really? that wing looks ridiculous!!

@xmr yeah am thinking of doing a new build in the long run, bought the car with the view to building it up as a project but still need to save more $. Gonna buy a spare block and most likely stroke it, bigger turbo etc. but want something with alot of useable power, something streetable. Will be doing most of the work myself wherever possible. Should be a fun project and a bit of a learning experience albeit with a steep learning curve and a few headaches along the way no doubt! Gonna take my time on it tho, and do it right over a long period

I didn't realise until now that they were having an argument in another thread, now I see why it's obvious lol.
