Now it's time to get back to my bracing and BFW bracket project .....

Well lets start a new GB list.. lol.

 

I would love to get my hands on one of these if anyone has one for sale. Changing the exterior of my spyder this season and NEED this crash bar. :black_eyed:

 

I would like one of these...

 

I want one of these as well

 

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 .

 

Still Loving my barbones crashbar from phattires! Soon will have my diffuser hanging from it! Thanks again!

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

Man that bumper exit exhaust looks awesome!

Hey which trunk spoiler is that? I want to order one for mine as well but all i can find are universal ones

 

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

 

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.

 

Are these still available?

 

If you're asking about crash bars .... I have plans to do one more run but not sure when that will be .

 

yeah im keen to buy one when you make more, im in australia tho

 

Welcome aboard .....

I would think shipping to Australia would be a killer ..... also don't you have a different size license plate .

 

Shipping might be a pain tbh but a guy from australia said to get in contact with you because he's using one of your rear crash bars and said it's working fine with his license plate

 

I'm also interested!

 

neeeeeed!!!!!!!!!!

Interested! cash in hand ready to purchase when you make more. getting a custom exhaust done and really need this.

 

Hey PT, any chance you can make brackets for your crashbar to attach chassis mounted BFW?

- Mico

 

Sorry for the hijack - but what exhaust is that?? THAT is pretty much EXACTLY what I want to do with my car.

Looks a bit like the Larini I had on my '06 Elise.

 

It seems a few are wanting to redo their exhaust so here's an update .....

I've been slowly making the brackets for the license plates , just about done . I have the tube bought and some cut to length , still need to get the end mounting brackets cut and bent . By then maybe the weather will cool off a little so it's not so bad under the welding helmet . I still don't know exactly when but it will happen , when it gets closer I start a list .

 

Hello, I'm interested in ordering a rear crash bar from you as soon as possible. Thanks

 

i would be bad ass, if you can make a bracket for reinforcement mount wing

 

aww yiss, I can't wait

 

You know I want one of these phatts. I’ll pick it up- or better yet make some time when convenient for you and install it at the Spyder Ranch.

 

My wife is going to be gone almost the whole month of Jan. on a cruise . I'll be on my own schedule so we should be able to work it in . Maybe even a trip to Lin's for some rice .

 

These still available?

Well sorta ... I'm going to do another run after I get my 2ar swap running which should be this weekend . Then after next weekend they will be first on my list . I have most of my brackets made so it's "just" a matter of welding them up .

 

I’m still interested in one when you get back into production mode

 

Also interested

 

Interested!

 

Looks like I need to get busy .... thanks for the interest !!
