How do you mean?
Its all big and RAWR.
I didnt mean it in a literal sense nub.
LOL I thought you meant "might impact helmet", but the seat-back would literally have to break for that to happen, hence my curiosity. Yeah, it is all "big and RAWR" lol
I'll be the 1st to admit that with the short windshield still on, it looks goofy, but once that thing comes off, it'll look mean
I like it..
Pink would be fitting for a Miata

I've said it before, but I like red for the bar!
Lookin hawt
Tom gettin his paint fumes on:
Still drying (it's fuh-humid out), but looks really good 
Only thing left to do now is pull the masking tonight off of the red bits, then mask off the roll bar so I can hit the base-plates with some black paint

Half finished results:
Masking off the new paint to do the mounting pads:
For the fronts, I decided to do up to the seatbelt towers in black. I wasn't able to really get a good tape job behind the bar for the red, so there were some spots w/o any paint. Painting them black lets me just go nuts w/ the paint since I'm not going to screw anything up doing so, and actually get full coverage on that piece of steel, and preventing rust.

Regarding that overspray: I took some time to clean the car up this afternoon, pretty much all of it came up with a rag. Only a couple of spots needed some mineral spirits & rubbing alcohol to come clean. But yeah, can't WAIT to run it next weekend (nana)

(first) looking good andrew!!
Old and busted:
New hottness:
Got a set of R-Speed hood props, only needed one. They had 'em on sale, and I wanted something lighter that would allow me to fully remove my headlight bucket. Sold! The old one's a good bit heavier too, so score on that too

If you want to just do 1 side, I'll sell you my other one for $25, all hardware included (even if the instructions make absolutely no sense LOL)
Thought if the NB's hood is any heavier than the NA's it probably won't work with just one. Mine's not like "at capacity" or anything, but it's not too far from it. Once I gut the hood it'll be a little better off I think.
