Re: New Pics of the MR2! (BananaCo)

Thanks for the compliments! I wish I had a good picture of this paint, it is an AMAZING color, the pearl is subtle but is still noticeable.

There's always a critic.

JK, yea I cant decide what I am going to do about the grills, in pictures they look really obvious but in person I kind of like them. I really want to have my rims powdercoated bronze and have the lip on them polished, but I am still not sure how long I am going to keep the car so we will see how it goes.
Here is the absurdly long list of mods, BTW NEVER try and add all of this up to a $$ amount.

haha, I was waiting for the 1st rice comment and it never came, I'm glad I could keep it clean for all you guys. Hopefully I proved to you all that you can apply euro-flava and still come out with a nice Japanese car.
