but i have the Z. I'm kinda in the same situation as you my friend just bought a Z and he tries to rice it out but at least he asks my advice b4 he tries to rice it. It is your job as a friend to persuade him with the beauty of a clean looking car. Take some time research some cleaner body kits for the mr2 and show him their real potential. I have a nice collection of Mr2 pics on my cpu that i can email to you if you want or just search google or a forum for cleaner examples. My regards DbestiZ1
