Ridiculous Mods
Ah, cunning.
I could probably do with something like that after my recent drama.
Although it's a toss-up between that and being in a hedge without one! Not sure which is preferable!

GrittyShaker - It's there to push the front end down at higher speeds. I think Bibbs said something about the front end becoming light at top speed, which can effect steering.

As mentioned before, the MR2 can get very understeery at high speed and in the wet.
The spoiler was added to push the front down, and it worked amazing. The bonnet was then added as it allows the air hitting the rad to escape over the top of the car, aiding airflow.
I first of didn't like it, but after seeing loads of pics of the car with the low rise lights it really grew on me, so much that I think all normal MR2's look funny without something there.
The shut lines are due to the GF throwing out the spacers that were between the hinges and the CF bonnet (2 peices of wood) and me not being bothered to re-do all the rubber stoppers.

There was a bizarre device offered by Honda on the 5G Preludes, which was a rear edge of bonnet/wiper spoiler. Part of the Motegi bodykit and about as inappropriate to the car as you can get:
But since these are functional parts, one cannot mock.
Eyebrows are disfunctional parts, in that they tend to block the beam, as well as make the car look retarded, like those 'Slutz' dolls.
