Loose the CR.net sticker on the windsheild and all will be good.

disturbedfan121 09-19-2007 12:37 PM

well are there any miata turbo.net stickers?
cause i wasn't about to put miata.net on it lol

TurboTim 09-19-2007 12:43 PM

Figure out a way to loose the chrome door handles. Paint them black or something.

EDIT: What's the sticker next to the front plate in the windshield? I'm also not a fan of the rectangular lights.

SamS 09-19-2007 12:43 PM

Not a fan of the rectangular lights in a rounded opening on a rounded car. They look like buck teeth that have never been brushed. Other than that, I like. :bigtu:

disturbedfan121 09-19-2007 12:51 PM

Tim- its a jdm new driver badge...my friend bought 1 off ebay and sent him 2 so i got it for free...and you should know where the night pics were taken in front of Longhorn in howell lol

Sam & Tim- as for the fogs, i couldn't find a set of circle ones that i liked.

y8s 09-19-2007 12:51 PM

clean. less is more, right?

Braineack 09-19-2007 01:04 PM

I'd vote for DIY unless you are unfamilar with turbo systems.


I thought the badge was amatuer drifter....

jayc72 09-19-2007 01:07 PM

Buy this

Don't go selling that off too fast. I can put it to good use.

Splitime 09-19-2007 01:35 PM

The only thing I'd want if it was mine, at the point you are at... is a rollbar. I just don't like convertibles without them (personal safety opinion)

hustler 09-19-2007 03:00 PM

the hood and fuel door don't match.

disturbedfan121 09-19-2007 04:55 PM

what do you mean? they are both CF not the same manufacturer but still

Braineack 09-19-2007 04:58 PM

i think it was his smartass way of saying, they are black adn the car is red :gay:

why lose the door handles, their stock?? :confused:

nice paint by the way, what suspension components do u have?

miatamania 09-19-2007 07:23 PM

Because nothing else is chrome. If he could get them black or flat it would smooth the look of the car.

Looks pretty good...undecided about the fog lights...look good on, trying to decide how the look otherwise lol.

disturbedfan121 09-19-2007 07:36 PM

miatamania-my friends neighbor does powder coating so i'm trying to get a day where he is free so he can do it for me...i'm gonna do the door handles and the Frankenstein bolts too

mazda/nissan-full tokico illumina advanced handling. and the paint isnt that great but in pictures it comes up awesome lol

Nice...Please post pics of this when done. I've been considering this too.

I mean, they don't match. They need paint. You can open the hood and gas door if you want to brag about carbon fiber-dom. Black hard tops are cool though.

Personal taste I guess, but I like all my body panels to match, regardless of what their made off. You don't see anyone polishing miata hoods, and that's a cool metal.

disturbedfan121 09-20-2007 12:21 PM

i like the contrast of the 2 tone, i mean on the bottom of your car you have the black kick guard, if you put the "r" package rear lip on and its not painted to match its usually black....GV front lips usually are black on the cars....it makes it stand out.

when i do get the car painted I'm getting the front window surroundings in black along with the hardtop in black.

^^^not trying to force you to like it just explaining why i like it

jayc72 09-20-2007 12:31 PM

Don't listen to Hustler, he has a BRG. The gayest of Miata colors. :)

disturbedfan121 09-20-2007 12:42 PM

lol....im not gonna knock on brg, but why did they put "british"racing green, on a Japanese car lol

reddroptop 09-20-2007 12:51 PM

I forget what they are called, but those latches are amazing. Used on racecars and such.

disturbedfan121 09-20-2007 12:52 PM

aerocatch hoodpins...

mazda/nissan 09-20-2007 01:03 PM

they had brg because mazda tried so hard to replicate the old british convertible while designing the car

i was eyeballing those hoodpins too:naughty:

disturbedfan121 09-20-2007 01:19 PM

i know why lol its still just a lil humorous...and yea they are a sweet set of hood pins...if i put them in myself i woulda put em in and used the bumpstops above the headlights. the hood tends to flap up a lil around 65 an up....not to the point where its gonna fall off but still...its annoying
