How did I miss out on this? The exit through the bumper exhaust is pure sexy time.

I think you were at the beach AGAIN ..... :chuncky:

Ok .... I'm trying to stay focused on my 2ar swap . I will start getting the materiel rounded up so right after I get my car running I will make some more . I've also been working on a new design breast plate since Corky's first retirement and I think he's on his third , but maybe I'll have some of those ready by spring also .

I finally finished up my rear end. Don't mind the filthy car, it's been raining all week.

Thanks, it's growing on me. I like that it looks more finished vs just having the area completely open with no shroud insert in it. The spoiler is a universal one from ebay. I had actually cut it and shaped the side I cut to put it on my Toyota matrix. When that car got a spoiler add on I transferred this universal lip spoiler to the mr2 and didn't need to cut it or anything. It's like a hard rubber/plastic. I don't remember the actual buyer I got mine from, but this is pretty much the same one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rear-Trunk...01-244L-SpoilerKing/272056034340?hash=item3f57cda424:g:zd8AAOSw0vBUkmFw&vxp=mtr

Very nice.

Thanks! What a bitch it was to clear out the plastic between each diamond on the lower half of the mesh! LOL

Unfortunately eBay only holds purchase info for 3 years, which is a major downer as I'd link to an identical spoiler I bought which fit without cutting. Find one like this that mentions the MR2. I PM'd them and they color matched it for me for $7 or so. Good paint too. https://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-M3-Sty...1756313346?fits=Model:MR2+Spyder&hash=item27fd795b02:g:8jMAAOSwlbtalPwU&vxp=mtr

It looks like you are not done. It is a pain to cut out all of the plastic but using a good rotatory plastic cutting tool helps a lot.
Also I would paint the grill shinny black because it will give it more dimensionally.

The 2003+ bumper inserts are a big improvement over the earlier ridge style but the fake grill ruins it.

The inserts were so kinda beat up to where I didn't care as much if I messed up. If you look closely at them you can see how bad a job I did. The problem was one bit would melt the plastic then that plastic would gunk up the bit and it would hit the part I didn't want to touch and start to take material off. The other bit made everything furry. I didn't have the balls to shine a lighter to melt/smooth the areas. As for the inner pieces near the license plate I didn't want to destroy them right off the bat seeing as I just got them ($21 ea. from a stealership). Since they are near the license plate I don't mind it not being cut out.

Mine were also like that. What I did was use some 200 grit sandpaper and went over the rough spots that had burrs.
Once you paint it black it will hide most of your imperfections and look right.
