it's missing something without the wing. Maybe put a spoiler there, but it needs something. My dad had a '91 Turbo. I learned to drive stick in that car. I miss it.

Find a ducktail for it.

Also 16x7 is a tiny width size for MR2's

I'm leery of putting too much wheel and tire on the car and slowing it down with extra weight, but I admit I have no experience with this platform.

a lightweight rim.. like the RPF1 will mitigate the heaviness and allow more tyre

The wing just makes them look dated and 90's. Without it they look modern and oh so very ferrari like.

Dorkiness says ditch the wing over here, but I like the "not a performance car look." And, those wheels are cool, but some lightweight 17's would be cool.

In reply to Will:

My vote is for a 94+ wing.

No wing on these cars looks awful to me.

Another vote for keeping the wing. Like the MK4 Supra, these just look naked and awkward without the wing. And believe me, I am NOT a wing guy, but they just look right on these cars. Now if we were talking a 1st gen MR2 my story would be very different.

Man, the Toyobaru is such an abortion compared to this thing. What has happened to the art of automotive design?

lose the back wing, put a small wing on the roof above the back window.

Nice!

ever think that might because we are all just used to seeing them without wings?

I'm in the camp that says leave the wing.

If you mean "early 90s Ferrari" by "modern and oh so very ferrari."

I hate these things de-winged.

Wing it. Just like my MK3 supra, wing made it look gooooood. (and adds horsepower, just like stickers!)

I think SW20s look pretty awful without some kind of wing or spoiler on the back. The rest of the car is too rounded, it ends up looking kind of doughy without something to provide a sharper edge at the rear. So I vote to keep the wing.

For some reason, wheels really make or break the 2nd gen MR2's aesthetics. The only wheels that look "right" to me are chunky, sharp, flat 5-spokes (like the ones in the wingless wonder above) or meshies. These are probably also the most expensive.

I love MR2s, and i think Red is it's most complimentary color-- just like the Supra. Anyways, i'm kind of disappointed to see a GRMer leaving an MR2 stock as a DD and not fabbing some giant fender flares and gutting it into a track car. :P

But very nice car!

I go back and forth on the wing. Not sure. Left mine on.

That's an awesome car. Would be a great E Stock autocross car. Hardtops are difficult to find.

Interesting fact about MkII MR2s - 93.256% of them are 91s. Of those, 92.143% are red. Of those 97.653% have T Tops. My figures could be off just a tic, but I think I'm close.

I like the wingless look too... but maybe a different wing?

The later factory wing is cooler than the early one.

Replace with TRD wing and big fat wheel/tire combo.
