Funny, there was some, but after some elbow grease with carb cleaner and clay bar, it mostly went away. The biggest difference in color is on the front fenders on both sides, which I found odd.

There were some hairline scratches from where the trim was, but the wax covered it up for the most part. I'm sure overtime as I wash/wax the car more and more it will blend itself together.

Rims are Rota Downshift in bronze but they don't come in that color anymore and they are discontinued.

Just checked the shipping update from flyin miata for my new voltage clamp. It's getting here a day early as in Tuesday. Hopefully it works right and I can finally go into BOOST! I'm not releasing any pics or vids until I can actually drive the car under full boost

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

GTFO. pics at least.

I bought the one off of Ebay that you put the guts from the current remote in. It works well. Had to drill a hole for the panic button, then took the key part to a locksmith to get it cut. Works like it's supposed to. It's not as nice fit and finish wise as the VW ones, but it's fine for $19.

[Matt V]

HUGE update. Blacked out my headlights, did the evil M's, and shaved side mouldings.

Ignore the removed fogs, the removal grilles are coming soon. I think I might've just started a trend with the color matched Evil M on the front.

You sir are a perfect example of what little, simple, cheap mods can do to make a car look a thousand times better. Kudos to you.

Oh and once those deletes come in, it'll look great. Any plans for lowering and/or lip?

 

[Matt V]

Thanks a lot.

As far as lowering goes, I really don't mind the stock height, bu I do intend to lower it eventually. I either want to get something subtle like the Racing Beat springs or the Eibach Pro-Kit.

BTW, anyone know how to remove the interior fog switch?
