ND MX-5: Jeff's 2016 ST GT Build

Mainly because 95% of the drivers on the road today are clueless. So I figure it is good to have video back up in case of a he said/she said scenario.
 
I finally got around to installing the rear dash cam. While I was at it, I moved the front dash cam from the windshield to the plastic sensor cover on the windshield. It offers a much cleaner look IMO. Recently, I also swapped out my ProClip USA phone holder for a CravenSpeed Gemini MagSafe Charger Holder.
 
Whoa, almost a year since an 'update'. haha

Over the weekend, I finally installed the MX5things window controller with key fob harness that I got for Christmas. Install was super easy and now the windows work the way they should have from the beginning. Not sure how one-touch down but not one-touch up windows played into the 'gram strategy'.
 
Nice! I did this mod too. I also installed a mx5 things roof control for a FL friends RF. The install wasn’t real hard, but he had a bad car battery so it complicated trying to figure out if we did something wrong, the unit was bad…..I told him after about an hour of having to jump his car that it’s go to be his battery. Two weeks later he texted me, you were right, bad battery…..everything work like it should!
 
Looking back, this should have been one of the first mods that I did! Nice detective work Mark, happy to hear that the fix was as easy as installing a new battery.
 
My Hella Sharptones are rusting out so I bought a replacement horn. Now to wait for spring and warmer weather so I can pull the bumper and swap them out for the new one. 😁

Gotta find a spot where they don’t get wet
I hear what you are saying but IMO the mfr knows they are going to be in the elements so one would think the 'coating' would be more resistant? I have seen Subies running around town with them that look better than my mine and they are fully exposed as they remove the grille.
I see you went with the brown note horn option.
LMAO If it gets them to see and stop moving over into me, then I am not opposed to them needing to change their undershorts.

I'm right there with you on that, but I will be sure to be BEHIND you the next time we are on a drive together. Of course the last time I did that I almost got run into the side of the hill by an RV during MATG...

haha but if you were in front of me there would be no reason for me to use the horn, my focus would be on the skinny pedal to keep up! Yeah, that was crazy and so thankful that it worked out for all us, could have been very nasty!
 
With a string of days with temps in the 70's ahead of me, I finally installed the MX-5Things rear LED strip that I got from Mrs. Claus. Install was pretty straight forward and rather than cutting a slit into the grommets for the wire, I used a 1/8" drill bit. Pushing the wire through was a bit of a pain but it's nice and snug against the grommet so I have no leak concerns.

Pics or it didn’t happen! 😉
 
I've been wondering what happened to everyone.

More visibility is better with these cars on today's roads, as we all know. ;)
 
Here but these days I seem to do more lurking than posting. Lol

Agreed Chief, every little bit helps!

A couple of more for you Mark. I took the first one early yesterday morning, sun was coming up but better than mid-day. I took the rest tonight which shows how it really shines. 😉
