I think it will look good!

The lines of the lights against the bumpers not bad match either

Forgetting the bumper , the light conversion is SUPERB !

IMO , pop-up headlights suck donkeyballs , they totally ruin the lines of what is a sexy looking car , not to mention the aero effect .
They are the gayist thing on the car and is the reason why it's called a 'hair-dressers' ride . :P

Pretty harsh.
Just as well you only use them in the dark. :P

Gotta say, I reckon the worst thing about MR2 headlights is that the lights, themselves, are a bit mickey-mouse. A bit of a parts-bin special.
Replace the stock lamps with a set of twin headlights and they look pretty bad-ass.

right some new pics today.

Because the celica lights curve diffrently than the curve of the MR2 wing there was a a small gap left so they have built both wings up with a layer of fiberglass.

Bonnet being welded to make shape for the lights. You can see that the sheet has been slightly curved to meet the headlight.

He wont need the sidelights cause they'll be part of the Celica cluster now.

Cant wait for the final pic and those lights def suit the bumper design.

You'll confuse the feck of people when they see you in the rear view!
