I like the 01-05 front because the bumper isn't all rounded and goofy like all the other miata's, but more straight and stern.

^^ I agree. It adds character but don't care much for the stripes. IMO it would look better without the stripes.

It reminds me of a local car here that is also Sunlight silver with black racing stripes.

I actually like it. I really thought it was going to look slightly off, but I was wrong. I dig it, probably the only 99/00 front end i've ever liked.

Stripes are for MEN

Wear them with pride.

Now that is a major transformation! Looks great man, congrats and good job. The headlights look killer, as does the paint and stripes with the 6UL's and that GV lip. Overall it's pure sex.
