No city here 
Actually this setup is much better than what i had previously. (hid kit in oem projectors angled upwards) These are bixenon, so I don't have to angle my low beams up anymore, I can adjust them properly, and then have the brightest highbeams on earth if I want.
I can still remember you talking about needing to contort yourself to be out of my headlights lol
I've watched the videos a few times already, I'm excited!

Raw parts from Morimoto and Osram is 990 for the quad projectors.
Just for a single projector retrofit (bixenon) with the Osram Nightbreakers (lightest bulbs on the market) 50w Morimoto ballasts, and 4TL-R lenses (or D2S, which are larger and a better fit for the oem projector location) is 445. You still need wiring harnesses, and to actually do the retrofit yourself, or pay someone to do it for you. I chose Lightwerkz, they charge between 400 and 900 per retrofit. That is for a single projector in each headlight.

So I've been emailing with Guardian Designs, I have finally decided to try the "D" shaped steering wheel they offer, in black perforated napa leather. Matching shift boot (sized for the miataroadster lever I still have) and e-brake boot. (which I probably will never install)
We hope this will give me a bit more legroom. I still keep putting off the foamectomy, which I also need to do.

How do you sleep at night with the stock seats in your car? Probax seats were one of the first things I did to Acamas. I can't stand driving cars with the factory seats.

I actually like the stock seats. I have lower back problems, and the oem 2001 leather seats are the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in. I can drive 12 hours and not be uncomfortable.
Plus, I have to find a place that stocks a lot of different seats, so I can sit in them. I'm not blind buying tons of seats.
I also need floor modifications to fit a reclining seat. Blackbird hasn't got back to me about that.
Do you think we could make thumpetto happen? Like, omg you totally thumpetto'd that install.
