An aftermarket modification designed to enhance the aesthetic appearance and potentially the performance characteristics of the Toyota MR2 vehicle. It typically involves the installation of broader panels, often constructed from fiberglass, carbon fiber, or polyurethane, that extend beyond the original body lines. This alteration dramatically changes the vehicle’s stance, providing a more aggressive and visually striking presence. For instance, a particular example might include flared fenders, redesigned side skirts, and modified front and rear bumpers, all contributing to a significantly wider overall profile.
The installation of such a modification offers several advantages. A primary benefit is the improved aerodynamic efficiency, especially when paired with other performance enhancements. The increased width allows for the accommodation of wider tires, which in turn increases grip and stability, especially during cornering. Historically, these modifications emerged from motorsports and racing culture, where functional enhancements were paramount. Over time, the aesthetic appeal became equally important, leading to a proliferation of designs catering to diverse tastes and preferences.
