Its one thing to not like what someone does....but dont be dick about it, wtf got up your ass?

I remember seeing this Miata go through the progress to what it is now. Custom RX7 front and rear, rare brainstorm lights, S2000 turn signals, etc. Its not your common Miata in any way shape or form....and it has the go as well.

I applaud those that are different, esp with the Miata crowd. (thumb)

I just cant believe how dick and flat out ****** up the response was.... (pow)

Vash-
 
Yeah we can definitely express ourselves without being asses. While Im not a fan of the color, kit, spoiler (especially), I would have gave my left *** for those headlights.

Roadster7- where did you get them? Or are they fabbed? Are they the Hibayashi (sp?) headlights? I know BSP had a flat lexan cover headlight system a long time ago and midtenn had a very similar set that was for sale forever but that is the design with the raised beams that a ton of people have been trying to convince Miata aftermarket companies to make for a very long time. There are several threads on miata.net about a set up just like that.

Got to respect the time and effort gone into it, even if it isnt your cup of tea.
 
seriously heph, go buy a mustang if you want to sling the term RICE around when your talking about a JAPANESE made car. also get a life if all you can do is talk trash on a forum and not even post a normal comment.

anyways nice styling overall, not the biggest fan of the rx-7 front on miata's but its different and imo different is a good thing (who the hell wants to be just like everyone else?). love the headlights too, i had a chance to get that conversion awhile back but didnt have the money so ended up with a midd tenn conversion. like the fender flares too, anyways thats my two cents, welcome to the forums although there arnt many here that like styling it seems. for some reason the majority here like the stock body of the miata lol which amazes me and umm only care about the insides

That's a pretty big assumption. Besides, what's wrong with the stock styling?


Aside from that, what is the Mid Tenn conversion? I assume they're similar to the BSP lights. I plan on making a pair for the challenge Miata.
 
Well gang, thanks for all the response, good and bad. i don't mind because i know that the only one that has to like my car is me and that if some of you don't like it, it doesn't really matter.

now to answer a few questions-
-gksspot, the headlights are modded Brainstorm headlights. by modded, i mean that they no longer have the BSP plastic light buckets, but rather a fiberglass set that i made up using the plastic pieces to make a mold. the BSP units did not have a flat lexan cover, thats for sure. trust me on this one, when i bought my lights i got three sets from BSP at once.

well kcbhiw, from what ive seen so far thats the sense i get. the conversion however isnt near as nice as the ones on roadser7's but they are decent. this isnt my car that im linking here (my body is exactly the same as this one but its painted and has a spoiler/Z3 side cowl things and mine isnt, my paint wont come for another 2 weeks) but it has the midd tenn headlight conversion that also has the angel eyes headlights in them like you see on bmw's. this car is what my goal is for my miata. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2174967 flip through the pages to see a few better pics of them.
 
Hey, it's not to my personal taste, but I give you props for at least finishing it. 90+% of the people in my area that have goals that high never even get their body kits painted.

I'm sorry, but I just have to (not a chop)....

LOL

Matsuda designers > Your kit

In my all-time favorite body designs of the 80s/90s, the NA Miata is in my top 5 easily. But to each his own.

See Kevin's whitey and blackey for beautiful MX-5's in my book....
 
My favorite body modification has to be that of Racing Beat's. Clean and to the point. No impersonation of what the car "should" be.

One of these would complete the challenge Miater. (thumb)

The above kit is surely beautiful to my whiskey-clouded seeing eyes!
But it's an enhancement to the original design not a kit to me. :D
(cheers) Hells yeah Kevin!
 
I go to test drive the MSM when it came out, while my car was being serviced. But one thing I didn't like was the pedals were to close is that normal with every miata? Or its just me?
