-1, I love gauges. There no such thing as too much gauges.

Vashthestampede 06-15-2008 07:59 PM

I love the Rota's and the fender stripes! And I noticed the subtle red lining around the door panels and the dash, never seen that before.

I love the red/black theme. I'm going blue/black and hope it turns out as good.

No, its the precut tint they sell on ebay. Works well, you just need to take your time putting it on.

Can anyone tell me why the quality of my pics is so bad. The originals look 100 times better. I've never noticed photobuck to kill quality like that.

they just look compressed. when i save a 800x600 at 72dpi with little compression they are usually 300-400KB, yours, 80-100.

Splitime 06-15-2008 10:57 PM

Other than the chevrons and foglights... I like :)

Oem (?) taillights ftw.

Fireindc 06-15-2008 11:02 PM

I love your car man. I want to do the same theme, but with blue/black.

Looks fucking great.

Is that because the originals are huge and when I uploaded them to photobucket I uploaded them at 800x600?

Have to agree with those above...ditch the fogs, otherwise very nice.

speedf50 06-16-2008 12:42 AM

Looking evil, I like.

That scoop does look a tad awkward, but hey, it's functional.

MightyMouse 06-16-2008 12:50 AM

I like the color scheme but the fog lights seem out of place

swimming108 06-16-2008 01:01 AM

why is one fender striped and not the other?

I like the steering wheel. Who makes it?

m2cupcar 06-16-2008 08:45 AM

looks great - extractor fits the black wheels and stripes :bigtu:

Sleeper_MX5 06-16-2008 10:28 AM

cool engine bay...i think my car looks better...LOL...but i'm sure you'll turn my eyes on the road.

Pitlab77 06-16-2008 11:23 AM

I like everything but the foglights

Zabac 06-16-2008 11:58 AM

Looks great Lev, I dig it!!!

Redrocket27 06-16-2008 12:19 PM

Sweet car, I love that front lip. Does that engine damper actually do anything? I've always thought they were cool, but question their functionality.

Zabac 06-16-2008 12:39 PM

get some solid mounts, you dont need a dampener then.

IcantDo55 06-16-2008 05:23 PM

So how many HP are all the stickers worth?

Other than that nice car!

UrbanSoot 06-16-2008 05:28 PM

i personally have about 30whp worth of stickers! yay! (they are there until i can get this car painted)

cueball1 06-16-2008 06:12 PM

I'm more of a stealth/ sleeper guy (of course I'm old too) but what you've done looks good! Stickers, too many gauges, all are against my grain but with the quality of your work it all comes together really well except...

I agree with the mob that the fog's don't work with what you have. Stand out too much. Everything is red and black or tinted - then you have the round fogs jumping out.

Interior is very sharp!!! Nicely done. With how purposeful the car looks you could use some meatier wheels and tires. 15x8's with 225's. Wish mine looked that clean and mean though.

Dark Wanderer 06-16-2008 07:18 PM

No one talked about the clean engine bay?

The pass side is empty of all the usual garbage! WOW!

Did you ditched the coolant overflow tank? Where did you hide all the wires and the power converter thing?

I hope to make my engine as clean as your!

cueball1 06-16-2008 08:43 PM

Dark,

No comments because we're all jealous of it. If we can't tear it apart what's the point!

In France they are Pommes Frites. Like many things french, they suck!

TonyV 06-16-2008 08:57 PM

I like ur new wheels dude...u still gonna put a red stripe on them too?

Sleeper_MX5 06-17-2008 12:21 PM

ditch the ebay steering wheel. get a momo...

+150,000!!

Much better without the fogs.....looks great! :bigtu:

Post more pics once you spray the IC.

Vash-

m2cupcar 06-17-2008 01:19 PM

better- but I think you can have both. Find yourself some fog light cups that you can mount in the bumpers skin (ala NB sport). And paint the rivets, otherwise you're just a splitime wannabe. :giggle:

J.T. 06-17-2008 02:29 PM

Holy blacked out tail-lights batman. Looks good. I like it

urgaynknowit 06-17-2008 02:40 PM

looks very good

Zabac 06-17-2008 02:45 PM

haha, it is a Miata, it is always a sleeper, lol

Zarniwoop42 06-18-2008 05:59 AM

I think you should paint your mirrors black.

Nice car, one comment....are you getting products for free or do you just like to pretend your car is sponsored?

levnubhin 06-18-2008 01:48 PM

I got the stickers for free.

What a difference. I really dislike the look of the FM style IC's, that's why I sold my FM IC kit. With the fog lights gone and the IC black, its a 100% improvement. :bigtu:

I'm resisting painting my IC, but I know its worth it in the long run to prevent theft.

eljefe305 06-19-2008 09:29 AM

nice car man =)

BradC 06-19-2008 09:34 AM

Great car man, nice work!

You should sell it...to me, lol.

Seriously though, very nice.

rwd_only 06-19-2008 04:27 PM

Looks sweet and I love the interior.

+1 on the painted intercooler
