Thanks to everyone who replied about the lambo doors. They have been sold and rent has been paid! And wow thanks for all the ratings from everyone I really appreciate it, it's pretty cool seeing my mr2 in the top rides section!
This is my 1991 Toyota MR2 NA
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a very rare, exotic 2 seater car powered by a mid engine 2.2 liter directly behind the driver and passenger side seats and handeled with rear wheel drive. Everybody says their car is in mint condition but this mr2 really is as good as it gets for a 17 year old car. It has been completely restored and maintained as a �clean� vehicle. I have installed a decent amount of mods including a remote that starts the engine, controls the alarm, and opens the doors.
The look I went for with the car was unique with overall an exotic appearance. It is black on black on black and a very low rider. I am an average size guy and the car sits well below my shoulders. When I first bought the car I worked for Mercedes Benz as a technician which really helped me to take care of it and restore it to its current condition. I constantly had the car up on lifts in the shop doing whatever I could to get it perfect. A couple Mercedes master techs had their hands on her too helping me out and I can proudly say that all the restoration, modification, and maintenance has been done CORRECTLY by myself and by professionals.
I originally bought the vehicle stock from a dealership in Michigan and drove it all the way from there to where I use to live in Maryland- it was about 600 miles. Never once have I had a problem with the performance or mechanics of the vehicle. I have an aftermarket intake on the engine, that�s it. Other then that the entire engine is completely untouched for now, but it is still a really quick car because it is so light.
I have not owned the car for very long (about a year), it is a real head turner and people ask me all time what it is. It has been mistaken for an older Porsche and on occasion the F355. Most of my friends are all big into American Muscle but they all love to drive it.
This car is the most reliable car I've ever owned. Most MR2's are a sure thing for reliability. They scored highest among their ratings in performance and handling in consumer guide auto which takes into account mechanics and reliability, in case you need a second opinion. Originally, they get about 30 highway miles per gallon but this one does a little better because weight wise, it is significantly lighter due to a couple mods- duraflex ground effects, the spoiler being removed, etc. (just a lot of here and there excess weight gotten rid of.)
I have a large list of new parts and services which I have installed and maintained as the second owner of the vehicle. I broke it down into two categories:
Modification
Exterior:
� Ferrari F355 replica full body kit made of duraflex (the expensive stuff)
� Brand new paint job
� Black Lexus style revision tail lights (smoked) with 94+ model center panel
� Brand new window tint (with warranty) at 5% on all windows and t-tops... windshield has a tint strip at the top which is legal
� Front amber corners and rear tail lights smoked(light tint)
� Shaved door handles and celluloids recently installed so doors pop open at the touch of a button
� Spoiler removed for more exotic appearance
� Performance angled power mirrors
� All emblems removed
Interior and electronics:
� As for audio, the interior has brand new surround sound and an alpine head unit
� All speakers are brand new
� Component speakers and tweeters will produce well over 1000 watts
� Compustart engine remote start for manual transmissions
� Compustart alarm
Performance:
� Weapon R intake which has the deepest, most satisfying sound I have ever heard which is why I went with Weapon R. It sounds like American Muscle if anything, not a fart pipe
� Recently installed drilled and slotted brake rotors with performance dust-free pads
� Recently installed performance rear lower ball joints
� I just had the wheels balanced and an alignment
� Rear tires are practically brand new and front tires are at about half-life (wheels are stock)
� Lowering springs (2� lower then OEM suspension) gives it a firm ride
Restoration
Exterior:
� All body rust has been removed
� No dents, just a couple tiny dings
� Brand new paint job
� All fluids flushed and replenished
� Oil pan has been cleaned out and oil changed consistently every 3 months
� Gasoline tank has been cleaned out
� And too many other things to mention�
Interior:
� New screws and bolts in interior- many used to be rusted and broken
� New factory door plastic in-liners for rain just installed (I�m trying to think of everything here)
� New driver foot rest piece beside clutch
� A lot of stuff is not even worth mentioning but it all adds up. Basically any interior parts that needed replacing I replaced, a lot of stuff here and there to keep the car clean and the parts new

That�s all I can think of. Like I said, the car is a rare beauty and a real head-turner.
Alright you got me. The speedometer is not broken. It was 2 in the morning and I really wanted some night pictures... so, yes, I stopped that bitch in the middle of the road to get a few! You think shifting a manual while talking on the cell phone is hard? Try taking some interior pics at night with a digital camera while doing it!
