i know mine came with both holes drilled in the lexan already. You would just have two sets of holes on the trunk, so you could adjust the two outer struts for a low angle and a higher angle.

Woah, cool! Thanks for all the info. I will definitely be getting this spoiler in the future and putting it on my second trunk lid. It should be able to stay on all the time!

i detailed the car yesterday. Wash, Clay bar, Polish, wax. It is no doubt the best its looked since i bought it.
ran a test of half the hood, the flake really started to POP as i worked the polish on the car. i put the camera had a poplarized lens to cut down on the glare a little bit


finished product, no editing on the phone pics.

I moved to North Carolina, Paul is currently stationed in Japan, Chris retired from Miatas, but Rich and Griff are still around I believe. They mostly hung around over at CR forum. I know there were/are a few others but I'm not very familiar with them.

Man that paint just pops now after the work, looks awesome!

Toys will always come and go, i LOVE the car, and i will miss it greatly but staying debt free for a wedding and honeymoon is more important to me right now than keeping the MSM. Plus ive already told my fiancee that by me selling this car, i get a no questions asked fun car in the future. She surprisingly agreed haha

well no one has come forward with any cash yet so i decided to do a bit of work over the weekend on the car. swapped the 5 speed out and installed an MSM 6 speed back in the car, adjusted the clutch so it wasnt grabbing right off the floor, Installed a 5 point harness and when doing that, found out the roll bar wasnt actually installed correctly so i fixed. and last but certainly not least i finally got the boost gauge moved out from blocking the speedo, i hated the location the PO had it.
