What have you done to your Miata today?

Yes indeed. But not any ordinary, run-of-the-mill MS, this one is a Reverant-built enhanced MSII.

Good s*** man. I'll have to make a trip down to KY to hang out and get a ride in it when it's done. I've only ridden in one supercharged Miata, and it was just a 1.6... so it was comparable to a stock MSM in my eyes. Yours should be more than my car in its prime.
 
You're welcome any time I'm home Phen.

Yesterday I swapped out headlights, this morning I cracked open my originals. What a PITA! I got a little melting on the top of the reflectors but it should be hidden by the projectors. So far I have removed the orange turn signal lenses, removed/prepped the reflectors for paint. Waiting on them to dry out from washing then I'll start painting them. Found out I am probably missing a silicone washer for the projectors to permit me to put them in so I'll be getting in touch with TRS to see about getting them, along with the bulbs, ballasts and harness I need to complete the setup. I may get some different shrouds too, the ones I bought came with Gatling gun style but I'm kind of liking the newer smoked gray ones they have.
 
the smoked grey look cool with the lights off, but with them on, they are basically cleaqr, allowing you to see behind em

depends on what you like

personally, i like it! to others it looks unfinished
 
I kind of like it, but right now I'm planning on leaving the reflector that's around the projector chrome so I wonder how that will reflect the light coming off the shroud. Also, after checking TRS's site I think I'll go ahead and get a new set of their mini projectors so I don't have to dick around with getting random bits. I'll just sell the ones I have now.
 
leaving the reflector chrome will cause a little light scatter (You can see it in the pic i posted, if they were chrome, they'd be all over)

i might be interested in the minis you have now since i won't be using the stock mounting config anyway in my miata
 
Well, what I think I'll do is ask TRS for a set of the silicone washers in addition to the rest of my order. That way whoever buys the older set I have will have what they need. I'll be in touch with you about them once I get everything ironed out.

I wonder if I painted the inside of the gray shrouds black if it would affect the outward appearance...That would take care of any scatter problem.
