Vash- The only concern I would have with a hood like that is vandalism,all it takes is a fucking idiot to slice/rip out a spark plug lead wire and your stuck somewhere. |

Hustler, def do yourself a favor and get some nice black mesh and fill them vents. The difference from no mesh, to silver mesh, to finally black mesh was amazing. Without mesh it will let in foreign objects, plus it just looks "unfinished". And silver mesh gave it a cheap look to it. Black mesh was subtle, but looked perfect. When is it going on the miata?

garage kept. It only comes out to play or go to work on nice days. I have a shitbox miata or subaru which are both invisible to thieves.

A guy had it in south texas and didn't use it because he didn't want to cut it for the 99 motor in his car, I'm willing to do it if I must. I have to clean it up and put some filler around the edges because its not ready for paint. For $800 in fiberglass, I expect it to be ready for paint...for the price I paid, I don't. I've never seen one painted to match the car...hopefully it's subtle enough that no one really notices it. It was either the carbontrix vent, or this. This car is going to be really slick. I wanted to cry as i drove away from the garage today knowing that all I have left to do is bolt up the intercooler and pipes, but have to work so it won't happen until my next vacation. :cry: I plan on playing around with the south texas crew next month though. |
Just get it painted flat black,it goes with everything and saves you money.
You can rock the "CR.net" style. |

Along with the rusted out trunk look with some 13'' 0 offset deep dish wheels. ......fuck it,he might as well remove the fenders too....to complete the "Cali" look.....& save weight. |

Only if you dump the turbo/fuel injection setup for carburetors.

That'll look killer when you get it on the car.

Individual carbs! FOUR of them!! I have a set from a crotch rocket you can have.. hahaha
There was also a miata in one of the import magazines (modified mag maybe?) with a rusted "hood ride" trunk lid, 0 offset wheels, and carbs. I lol'd. Sick hood btw hustler, def wait and paint it body color imo. |
Glad you were able to find a good replacement hood....
And just so you know, that hood will make the car highly unstable at speed unless you de-power your rack. :giggle: Just kidding....but keep thinking about it. |
