A buddy and his little brother came by the shop yesterday with his new-to-him NA and we started talking about cutting the rear bumper. I had this diffuser sitting around and said "lets see if we can make this fit". Its a bit rough but the owner is due for a paint job soon, so he'll take care of the little details. The Flying Miata exhaust isnt bolted on completely in some of those pics so it looks crooked. i assure you, its straight. (sorry for the crappy cell phone pics)

Test fitting:

Thanks Randy. The bumper is just a 95 NA factory rear bumper. As for the diffuser, i have no idea. I found it around the corner from the shop one day and snagged it. No idea what car it came from.
