interesting. needs more projector headlight.

I wish. Maybe one day someone will come out with a replacement turnsignal assembly that has a projector in it, kind of like for the fd rx7

Not as much room in the miata though.

My wish has always being to get a Racing Beat Type II nose for cheap! I totally agree with the OP's statement about the NA's nose.

the rx7 driving light conversion has already been done:

brought to you by your favorite 175rwhp Fuji-Racing Time Attack Miata:

I acually like that alot!

Is that the "175" hp fuji miata? I actually like that.
I wonder how D2S (or whatever else the cool kids are running these days) HID projectors could be added to the picture.

yeah it's the same iirc, they have a kit, I'm sure its expensive, but I like it as well.

That looks better than ANY body kit i have seen. Add a NB Lip and your Set!

Also consider that it's all urethane that way, so no worrying about destroying a fiberglass front nose on parking-blocks and road cones (in the case of autox)

Both those look great. If I had an NA, i would... not waste the money doing that. But it would be nice because it does look great.

nice air source for the NA too - cool the brakes or the fender well oil cooler

That would be the only reason I'd do it, I wouldn't want to invest the time and effort. I think it looks good and I'd love to use those fog light holes to cool my brakes.

I have a spare NA front bumper. Ya'll let me know if you see a cheap 01+ bumper FS somewhere.

you can probably pick up a black unprimered one for under $150.

Can't believe this never crossed my mind...

Oh well. NA > NB

nice, i really like that pic of the rx7 lights in the miata

fugly

Talking of front ends, I have gone back in time. Crash myself into an old mini.

No offense... but I still can't understand why anyone loves that conversion. It looks awful.... sort of like if someone squashed the front end down and it pancaked out from there. It just doesn't fit the car.

I like the NB lower conversion simply for the practicality of the fog areas for brake ducting.

Agreed 100%. The pitcrew conversion doesn't fit the lines of the car AT ALL.

I think id prefer the 99/00 bumper. I like the opening on this one better.

How would one mold the two together?

Resins, rivets, spit, and jizm.

Damn, that first car would look pretty nice if it was a little lower.

I think I just threw up in my mouth.

That one's a nice big smile with shiny teeth :D

+1

^ Moar like braces, amirite?

the NB's have a much bigger opening...something to consider for sure...look for damaged bumpers for sale to score for pretty cheap...great success

i just like 99s better period. especially a 10AE... popups suckarse.
