I can see where your thought process is on this and it looks different, won't be to everyones tatse, but then, how we all modify our own cars, never is..
Along the same lines, have you seen the reflective tape/trim that generally goes on motorbike wheels.. I have see that on a few MR2#s in the US and again, it's marmite, love it or hate it..

Whats next on the list Ben :thumbup1:

Oh I'm sure some people won't like what i've done, but i like it, so no matter how many people hate it, id still be happy.lol.
next on the list is polishing the strut braces (currently standard)
polishing the radiator cap, and got a TRD sticker coming for it, also got a TRD oil cap (again, not genuine, but i'm not fussed-it will look good), dad bought me a bespoke set of mats for my birthday, and i've ordered a pair of TRD patches to sew on. I'm aiming to stay with a toyota and mr2 theme, not wanting to have loads of different makes of everything..oh and a new number plate for the rear,
so nothing major for now, just little bits to tidy her up (in my opinion) lol
