a friend asked me about this business:

Luxurypart รวม ชุดแต่ง ประดับยนต์ สปอยเลอร์ กันชน body kits

because he wants to import a toyota mr2 spyder and do something like this... basically porsche/gemballa/lamborghini-themed kits. but i'm worried he's throwing his money away on poorly fitting crap:

before:



after (supposedly):







other versions (see website):

With the weak Canadian dollar and finding a good condition 3rd gen MR2, he could probably get a local Porsche Boxster in great condition and have a much better car than risk it on a body kit like that.

Same thought. Spend the money on a used Boxster. Maybe a Cayman.

Those Gemballa replicas are a few years old.
Also there are companies making Carrera GT replica for Boxster.

I personally think those Gemballa kits on MRS look amazing, only if Gemballa didn't exist.
