Hey!

We finally have all the info to start the group buy!

This rear finish panel replaces both your plastic rear panel AND both tail lights. The LED tail lights are CE certified and makes your Miata visible in the traffic again. The light output is really amazing compared to the original lights. They go very well with the round rear of the original Miata, the NA.

Specifications:

- Fiberglass or 3K Carbon Fibre 1x1 twill (Made in Japan)
- 240g+450g Carbon Fibre/Carbon Kevlar manufactured using vacuum bag
- 45 degree weaving
- Anti-UV gloss clear coating for a long lasting shine and protection
- 4 LED tail lights with tail/stop/reverse for the inner lights and tail/stop/direction for the outer lights
- 100% plug and play (lights are already wired and with the connector that attaches to the OEM Mazda connector)
- Very easy to replace yourself (30 minutes job max)

Available in Fiberglass (FRP), Carbon Fiber (CF) and Carbon Kevlar (CK).

SPECIAL PRICE FROM 16th to 31st of July!!!

399 USD shipped for fiberglass and 599 USD shipped for carbon fiber/carbon kevlar!!!

For this price you will receive:

- 1x fiberglass/carbon fiber panel
- 4x units LED tail lights
- 2x wiring and connectors (plug and play)
- 1 x CarbonMiata sticker

There will be no minimum of buyers. You can just follow the link and buy the panel on the website directly. We already started to manufacture them but it will take from 10 up to 30 days to produce them so basically it will be first paid first serve. I will put the list here so that you can follow in which position you are!

Are the lights you use the same size as the GV Porter Cab lights or the 76 Corvette lights?

I think someone said they are from a Nissan skyline??? Marc can clairify

Been curious about the size as well.

I meant to measure them when they were out but that task escaped me since i was on a time crunch trying to get it together and the photoshoot done. :fp:

As far as the taillight manufacturer they definitely didn't say Nissan any where but to me look like lights you would get off a website for multi purpose lights but obviously not sure. I do know they are bright and look great! Although difficult to capture on video.... :(

When the group buy is closed, the regular price should be around 449 USD + 50 USD shipping for fiberglass and 649 USD + 50 USD shipping for carbon fiber/carbon kevlar.

Our LED lights are 12.2 cm / 4.8 inches diameter. They are not GTR lights (I wish!). I looked everywhere and found this supplier which accepted to let me buy a smaller quantity. I think they look great and have a very good quality/price ratio. Ideally I wanted to use Lotus Elise lights but they are so expensive (around 180 USD/unit IIRC).

Very tempting, building a daily/track beater yet still contemplating these... hmmm

I may be biased but IMHO this is by the most cost effective off the shelf pnp, taillight/taillight panel combination, option there is hands down. :bow:

Although some are not keen on the leds, there is good reason the majority of major car manufacturers are using leds on most of their line ups: leds vs traditional bulbs- faster illumination, brighter illumination, less power draw, less generated heat, longer life/more hours. I think the taillight selection was an excellent choice on the part of Marc/Carbon Miata. :drinkto:

These look good.
Is your 'regular' carbon price listed above correct? Its the same as the GB price.

Will you have replacement led's available?

Yes honestly this price is really interesting. If you add the price of the fiberglass panel, the 4 LED lights, the connectors and the fact that we need to spend time to assemble everything, the kit is a bargain! :)

Sorry I made a mistake!!! Corrected! Thanks!

Exactly why I've swapped most of the bulbs on my miata LEDs. These tiny cars are already hard to see. LEDs is the way to go.

I have LEDs in my taillights. Not retro? Ain't care.

Have to wait till next Friday to order my set. Wish you all accepted the pay after delivery option from paypal lol

CarbonMiata
07-18-2015, 07:30 AM
Yeah that will be difficult. :D Ok anyway the group buy will still last nearly 2 weeks. We have 8 buyers for the moment which is more than I thought so I am a happy man. :D

I asked on Facebook, and you said it is possible, I want to order a set but can I get the tail, stop, signal lamps for all four? And how would I go about specifying that in my order?

CarbonMiata
07-18-2015, 09:36 PM
Yes no problem! When you send the payment over, just specify it in the transaction details! I will make sure to send 4 identical units!

I have a video coming up soon!

I am on board!!! Going to make a purchase when I get home. I like the idea of all the lights matching. Can the inner lights do the same function as the other lights? In other words can the tail/stop/reverse also do tail/stop/direction?
Anyway it looks great I can't wait to order it, can't wait for to get to my house and I can't wait for summer to be over so I can install it (it's 120° in my garage) :fp:

CarbonMiata
07-19-2015, 03:21 AM
We can have the same design of lights with the different functions yes! Name it and we can make it. :D

Odd question, but would you be able to split the transaction between two cards?

CarbonMiata
07-19-2015, 08:12 PM
You could charge your paypal account with the 2 cards and then make one payment? Not sure if that's possible.

You can definitely pay half now and another half when the panel is ready to ship! :)

How do we go about doing this option?

CarbonMiata
07-19-2015, 11:01 PM
According to the material you want, just divide the amount by 2 and send it to info@carbonmiata.com (our paypal). I can also send you a paypal request if you give me your paypal address by PM along with the material you chose!

After debating these puppies heavily the last 2 weeks, I finally pulled the trigger! Hope they look as good in person (and on a red car) as they do online.

$400 shipped, plug and play seemed like too good of a deal to pass up!

Now, in the days of overnight Amazon Prime, the hard part here will be waiting for them to arrive....... :)

Sorry I didn't see your message earlier! Yes I will post some pictures soon. We are still doing the wiring and we are also producing the sets of 2 covers that will go behind the lights holes to make sure the water doesn't go inside the trunk area!

Thanks for the patience.

We finally got the first piece of the carbon fiber quad LED tail lights rear finish panel. Couldn't wait to take studio pictures so here is a quick preview. We are sorry for the delay for this group buy. Panels and lights are wired and ready. We are now waiting for the covers that will go behind the lights to make the installation completely waterproof. Thanks for the patience!
