My MR2 Changeover..

All:

A few of you know that I own a 1992 MR2T. Laramie introduced me to a paint shop in Dallas called Reflective Images. The guys over there had my car for 2 months and did an excellent job painting my MR2. It now looks cleaner than my 4 year old EVO8! Thanks Laramie!

Enjoy!


















I got the decals in the back painted black so that the lettering stands out better. I think it looks HAWT that way!

It is nice to see it back together. They did some dent repair/metal work. The paint looks great. Now you just need to bring it out now.

Toyota doesn't make sport cars anymore. I used to be a Toyota fan, until they stopped making Supras, Celicas and MR2's. (They still make MR2's?) All I know now is that they make trucks.

Screw that. Mitsu all the way! ('Cept for the Mitsu Warranty, they suck ***.)

Ah, so you saw it at the shop while it was down?

I will definitely bring it out at the next meet we have. Probably at Amber's get-together here in Plano.

Yea, I'll probably pick up some rims at some point. The thing is that I want to keep it as stock looking as possible. I will get better suspension first for it though.

The way sales are going for the EvoX, Mitsu will probably drop sports sedans as well.

I actually like the fact that Toyota made some great cars and then said, "We're done." It makes them that much more valuable..

Function always outweighs form. You are halfway there already man with the way that paint job looks. Can't wait to see it. Wednesday Coit and Park?

The decals in black are a nice contrast.
