here is the MR-S we just finished up. We designed this kit for Kreative Import Technology in 2004 and this is the first completed install. The car just came out of the body shop on thursday.



The bumper is loose in a couple pics b/c they caught it on the steep driveway in the pics. All fixed now.

Looks nice but those rims just don't suit the car at all.

Had a NA '93 for the past 11 years; sold it last year. Still miss it - was a really fun car.

im wondering why you even bothered taking pictures of it with the bumper messed up. people are going to assume its a crap fit or the company is bad because they couldnt even get the bumper on right before taking pictures. i saw this picture posted on spyderchat and there was another shot of the bumper bad. and right away people said stuff bad about it.

i would delete those pictures and pretend they never existed and put pictures up that look good. its like going to a job interview with a stain of food on my shirt, uncombed hair, and a piece of food hanging from my teeth. it just reflects poorly

I indirectly traded an MR-S for my box. Had an 01 MR-S(Favorite car I haev owned) in Solar Yellow with SSR Comp rims, Dual exhaust, and a mild sound system in it. I traded it and an 03 Tacoma in for a '04 Solara SLE.

I liked the Solara, but it just wasn't what I wanted. When I started driving the xB dealer vehicle that was provided for us from Scioin in Dec. 03 I fell in love with it. Got the Lava as soon as I heard it was coming out.

I think I will be buying another MR-S when my box is paid for next year. I just loved the handling of the vehicle. I'll have to dig up an old photo of it. I know I have some on a Memory sitck somewhere, I had a lot of them on my hard drive, but my comp was stolen when my apartment was broken into last year.

I had one for 4 years, hence the 91 in my screenname. Unfortunately it made an early exit and I had to buy a tc to replace it. I'm going to get another one when I find one I like.

I got one.





Bought it about three weeks ago.

'05 5-Speed w/LSD

Almost purchased an xB instead because it's what I wanted for almost a year and decided to head a different direction.

I still love the xB though.

Maybe if they're still making it in the next year or two I'll definitely consider one.

TOAST3R, aren't you on SpyderChat?
