I've already warned my employees about the shenanigan classified boxes from the "Miata website" I may get, and my bakery address is the only way I can guarantee I'll get it so...do your worst?

Plus they don't get to say ****, I just spent $2k on Panini Presses to make them happy.

Getting close! Still need to wire in my new EBC(old one wasn't working very well), get the oil cooler lines made, and get the bumper back on.

Radiator is filled up and installed. Bitch is huge!

Still a tight fit, may trim the throttle body hose a little to pull it in.

Wow your car looks fantastic!

I vote for keeping the black wheels and adding wrinkle black powder coat on the exterior door handles.

I vote for driving the everliving **** out of it and not worrying about the door handles.
