360 UPHOLSTRY KIT PRICE LIST
For a limited time only, you can ship your Toyota MR2 cloth seats and door panels to us and we will recover them in the color
of your choice for only $400.00 plus shipping. Notice how we upholster the seats to match
the color of the car. Most people choose red/black or yellow/black or
black/black seats. The high quality vinyl we use is very attractive and
looks like real leather. We offer a 100% money back guarantee on all
our products including upholstry work.
The $400.00 seat and door panel charge will get your seats pleated with the extra foam
added to the front of the seat so it will look more like a racing car seat.
NOTE: You can stretch the MR2 between the motor and firewall 5" and then add cut add 5" worth of fiberglass in the quarter panel if you want a longer version wheelbase.
The car above was not stretched 5" to make the wheelbase longer.
This photo of racing car seats to the right shows that some people put them in the MR2 donor car.
You can find the leather seats ready to install in the car on eBay for around $200.00 a pair.
The photos below of the red car with black wheels are of a ACTUAL 2001, 360 vehicle that was auctioned at the COPART insurance auto auction the car was slightly damaged in the right rear quarter panel and there is also a piece of interior missing between the seats, notice how simular the real 360 is to the KIT-360.

kit-360 is an easy bolt-on conversion kit:
Show
This
kit is an easy bolt-on conversion kit. This is the easiest to
install kit we offer. This kit has been installed on an MR2 and
completed in three weeks working only part-time on the project.
Use
a 2000-2005 Toyota MR2 Spider Convertible donor car. We suggest the MR2
be slightly damaged because the MR2 sheet metal will not be used on the
finished kit and you will save a lot of money by using a damaged donor
car. All unused MR2 body parts can be resold as scrap or resold
on eBay as reusable MR2 body parts. Go to ACCESSORIES PAGE and click on DONOR CAR PROGRAM.
The stock wheelbase of a MR2 is 96.5" and the wheelbase for the real deal is 102.3".
You
can either stretch the MR2 car body by 5" or you may decide to
not stretch the MR2 at all. This kit will fit a MR2 that is the
stock 96.5 wheelbase or with a different trunk lid for the kit; that
is offered by us at only $100.00 extra, you can then stretch the MR2 by
about 5 so that the MR2 will then be about 101.5' for the wheelbase. If you stretch
the MR2 you cut the MR2 body between the wheel well and the door jam to
add the extra metal section and use our extended trunk lid for the kit.
We have two different trunk molds and one is 5'' longer than the other.
You will also add length to the kit on the inter quarter panel sections
if the MR2 is stretched but this is easy to do and you paint and body shop can easily do the job. If you do not stretch
the MR2 then the kit bolts right onto the MR2. Most people do not
stretch the MR2 simply because it is faster and easier not to, but if
you do take the time to stretch the MR2 the final result is a longer
wheelbase that makes a nicer looking exotic styled car. NOTE: Use hood hinges from '91-'96 Dodge Stealth for the Kit-360's hood and trunk hinges. The hinges work great on most kit-cars.
NOTE: THIS PHOTO ABOVE SHOWS KIT-360 IN THE RIGHT-FRONT, LOWER-CAWL AREA INSIDE THE WHEEL-WELL THAT HAD TO BE CUT AWAY BY ABOUT 2 IN ORDER FOR THE 19 WHEELS TO FIT THE CAR AND NOT SCRUB WHEN THE WHEELS WHERE TURNED TO THE RIGHT OR THE LEFT AS YOU DRIVE THE CAR. WE SIMPLY TOOK A METAL CUTTING SAW AND CUT ENOUGH OF THE METAL OUT OF THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL-WELL AREA IN THE CAWL OR FIREWALL AREA SO THAT THE TIRES WOULD NOT SCRUB WHEN YOU ARE TURNING THE CAR.
NOTE: THE WIDE TIRES EXTEND PAST THE QUARTER-PANEL ABOUT AN INCH. WE WILL ADD ANOTHER QUARTER PANEL SECTION ON TOP OF THIS KIT-360 AND WORK IT INTO THE KIT-360 SO THAT THE 10" WIDE TIRES WILL BE UNDERNEATH THE QUARTER-PANEL COMPLETELY. IF YOU USED 8.5" TIRES YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO BEEF-OUT OR ADD A FIBERGLASS QUARTER-PANEL TO THE KIT-360. WE THINK IT LOOKS BETTER TO HAVE THE 10" TIRES ON THE REAR AND IT ALSO LOOKS GREAT TO HAVE BEEFED-UP QUARTER PANELS ON THE REAR WHICH NAKE THE KIT-360 LOOK MORE POWERFUL AND AGRESSIVE AND IT ALSO RESEMBLES A SMALL LAMBORGHINI BECAUSE MOST LAMBOS HAVE THE LARGER REAR SECTIONS ON THEIR SUPERCARS.
NOTE: THESE 2 PHOTOS ABOVE SHOWS THE UNPAINTED KIT-360 AND IT SHOWS HOW THE 10 RIGHT-REAR TIRE STICKS OUT 1 PAST THE WHEEL-WELL. THIS CAN BE FIXED THREE WAYS. YOU CAN BUY ALL 4 WHEELS IN THE 8.5 SIZE OR PUT THE 8.5 SIZE ON THE FRONT AND THE 10 SIZE ON THE REAR AND THEN HAVE THE PAINT SHOP ADD BONDO/FIBERGLASS-FILLER TO BEEF-UP AND WIDEN-OUT THE REAR QUARTER PANELS SO THAT THE TIRE IS THEN BEHIND THE QUARTER-PANEL AND NOT STICKING OUT 1 ON THE REAR. THE THIRD REMEDY IS BUY OUR $300.00 QUATER-PANEL FILLER-PANELS WHICH EXTEND OUT PAST THE TIRES.
KIT-360 wheels AND ADDED KIT-360 KIT COMPLETION NOTES:
Show
You can install this kit without doing any metal work or fiberglass work. This is a complete bolt-on kit.
You will use the stock door shell on the DONOR CAR/MR2, but you will attach it with screws to the KIT-360 outer body-kit door panel.
You
will use the MR2 interior with this kit but some people upgrade the MR2
interior by taking it to an upholsetry shop and having the center part
of the seats and the upper insert on the door inside interior panel
colored the same color as the finished car. See photos ABOVE for details.
Wheels:
the largest wheel size that we recommend for the finished kit car is a
19" wheel. Ask for the
five spoke Ferrari styled #202 wheel set. The tire size that you will
need to buy for the wheels photographed on this Kit-360 web page is a size
225/35/19 for the front and 275/30/19 for the rear tires. We pay
$754.00 for a set of 4 tires mounted and balanced on the Kit-360 replica
wheels.
Visit exotic luxury wheels co. in Miami Florida at:
305-594-4902 for the wheels
or see them on eBay under seller I.D. pasofino-222
YOU CAN BUY YOUR TIRES AT ANY LOCAL TIRE COMPANY.
WE ALSO OFFER WHEEL ADAPTERS/SPACERS FOR YOU KIT-360. THE WHEEL ADAPTERS ARE 2" WIDE AND THEREFORE MAKE THE KIT-360 A TOTAL OF 4" WIDER. THE WHEEL ADAPTERS WE OFFER ALSO CONVERT YOUR 4 LUG NUT PATTERN FOUND ON THE MR2 TO THE 5 LUG NUT PATTERN FOUND ON THE REPLICA FERRARI WHEELS PHOTOED AND DISPLAYED TO THE RIGHT. THE WHEELS LOOK GREAT ON THE KIT-360 AND THEY ALSO LOOK IDENTICAL TO THE REAL DEAL FERRARI 360. IF YOU BUY ANOTHER STYLE WHEEL THEN YOU WILL NEED TO GET YOU OWN WHEEL ADAPTERS AS WHEELS VARY IN MANY WAYS. GO TO THE ACCESSORIES PAGE UNDER WHEEL ADAPTERS FOR MORE INFORMATION.

-THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE ACTUAL 19 REPLICA WHEEL FOR ONLY $599.00 FOR A SET OF FOUR. YOU CAN NOT BEAT THIS PRICE AND THIS IS ALSO THE VERY BEST LOOKING SET OF WHEELS FOR THE KIT-360.
NOTE: WE RECOMMEND YOU BUY THE QUATER-PANEL FILLER-PANELS FROM US FOR $300.00 WHICH MAKE THESE WIDE 10" REAR WHEELS WORK ON THE KIT-360.
NOTE:
YOU CAN GET THESE WHEELS ON EBAY FOR ONLY $599.00 FOR A SET OF FOUR FOR YOUR KIT-360:
-FRONT AND REAR WHEEL SIZES: F- 19x8.5 | R - 19x10
-EBAY SEARCH WORDS: 19'' Ferrari Modular Wheels 3PC style Rims 348,355,360
-PHONE NUMBER OF THE COMPANY IN FLORIDA THAT SELLS THE WHEELS: 305-594-4902
-TIRE SIZE YOULL NEED FOR THE WHEELS: 225-35-19 FOR FRONT AND 275-30-19 FOR REAR
-NOTE: BECAUSE YOU WILL BE GOING TO FROM A 4-LUG BOLT PATTERN TO A 5 LUG BOLT PATTERN YOU WILL HAVE TO BUY 2 WHEEL ADAPTERS TO MAKE THE 5-LUG WHEELS FIT ON THE 4-LUG TOYOTA MR2 HUBS AND THEREFORE YOUR REAR TIRES WILL STICK-OUT ABOUT 1 PAST THE REAR QUARTER PANELS. TO FIX THIS YOU CAN EITHER GET THE PAINT SHOP TO FIBERGLASS AND BONDO THE REAR QUARTER PANELS TO MAKE THEM COME OUT 1 SO THE TIRES WILL BE BEHIND THE QUARTER PANELS FOR A COST OF AROUND $500.00 WHICH ACTUALLY MAKES THE CAR LOOK FANTASTIC AND SIMILARLY TO A LAMBO GALLARDO OR YOU CAN BUY ALL 4 WHEELS IN AN 8.5 SIZE WHICH WILL NOT REQUIRE ANY QUARTER PANEL MODIFICATION. IT IS ONLY THE 10 WHEELS THAT STICK OUT PAST THE QUARTER PANELS BUT THE STAGGERED WIDE WHEELS LOOK FANTASIC ON THE CAR AND ARE A TERRIFIC IMPROVEMENT TO THE OVERALL LOOK OF THE CAR. WHEN YOU ADD A FRONT-BUMPER SPOILER AND BEEF-UP THE REAR QUARTER PANELS IT LOOKS LIKE YOU BEEFED THE CAR UP BY ADDING A BODY-KIT TO A 360 CAR. ALSO SOME PEOPLE GET THE PAINT SHOP TO MAKE A FRONT-BUMPER, LOWER-SPOILER AND ATTACH IT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT BUMPER WHICH MAKES THE CAR APPEAR LOWER IN THE FRONT.
-NOTE: WE OFFER QUARTER-PANEL FILLER-PANELS THAT EXTEND THE QUARTER PANELS FOR $300.00 A SET.
-NOTE: YOU WILL ALSO HAVE TO CUT-OUT THE LOWER SECTION OF THE CAWL ON THE MR2 BECAUSE WHEN YOU TURN YOUR WHEELS THEY WILL RUB THE LOWER CORNER OF THE CAWL BUT THIS CAN EASILY BE FIXED BY REMOVING A SMALL SECTION OF SHEET METAL ON THE MR2 DONOR CAR.(NOTE: SEE VIDEO EXPLAINING THIS CALLED 19" REPLICA WHEELS.
-NOTE: TO ORDER YOUR WHEEL ADAPTERS CALL CARKITINC.COM AT 1-256-891-2030 AND ASK FOR THE KIT-360 WHEEL ADAPTERS THAT MAKE THE MR2, 4-LUG WHEEL-HUB FIT THE 5-LUG FERRARI REPLICA WHEELS THAT COME FROM FLORIDA.
Use wheel spacers to make the MR2 wider and we can help you obtain the spacers.
Some people add a carbon fiber dash kit off ebay for about $40.00.
Some
people add a turbo simulator, which is also called an exhaust pipe
whistler to the MR2. This makes the car sound like it has a bigger
motor with a turbo and you can get this at any automotive parts store
or on ebay for about $12.00 and install it inside the rear exhaust
pipe.
MR2 wipers, convertible top, interior and windshield stay the same AND STAY ON THE DONOR CAR/MR2.
You can add a Garrett turbo kit for the MR2 at $2,500.00 and increase from 138hp to 280hp.
Headlight
lens for the front are $125.00 each and for the rear taillight lens you
can use any 1984 and up corvette rear tail light lens from ebay at
about $10.00 each. The round, Corvette, taillights you'll need for the
KIT 360 are the CORVETTE 1984-1990, series C4, L.E.D. taillights.
You can search eBay for "CORVETTE taillight tail light C4" and then bid
on the round, C4, style lights. You can also search the salvage yards
for used, CORVETTE taillights at www.car-part.com
or call one, large,
Corvette-only, salvage yard at 1-888-467-8388. Some people also use the 41 light L.E.D. trailer brake light 4" ready to wire up lights in the rear from eBay which actually make the rear end section of the KIT-360 appear newer looking than the older Corvette tail-lights.
The black metal grill mesh can be bought at any hardware store for just a few dollars or you can search eBay for grill mesh in plastic or metal and some people buy a grill for a large truck like a Dodge Ram pickup and then cut the mesh to fit the KIT-360.
The
motor in the MR2 is so good that the Lotus exotic car company put it in
the 2007 and up Lotus Elise vehicle. When you raise the hood on
the 2007 Lotus Elise you will see a Toyota MR2 engine.
The
average turn-key car is worth $25,000.00 to $30,000.00 and we can teach

Some people upgrade the rear-view mirrors located on the doors by using a Dodge Viper mirrors or by using a Honda Del Sol's rear-view mirrors.
NOTE: If you decide to put the replica wheels on your KIT-360 that are 8 ½ wide in the front and 10 to 11" wide in the rear you need to search youtube for these three words "carkitinc 360 wider" to pull up the video that explains how to cut and open-up and re-fiberglass the quater panels so that they are wider this process is not hard and can be done in only one day. Then your 10 to 11" wider rear wheels will be completely covered by the quarter panels and they will look correct. If you decide to go with 8 ½ wheels you will not need the quarter-panel panels widened on the rear. The phone number to dial in Miami Florida for the replica Ferrari wheels is: Mary at 305-824-0999.
