Thank you. I am trying! got a long list of parts I'd like to buy so there will be more posts.

Wife doesn't like Miata stories so Im glad you guys do lol

Well this came today. Goes along with my Retro/vintage/polished theme for the whole car. Thanks RM Coachwork/ Retromodern!

Wanted to do an S2000 start button in cig lighter spot but I may go with the PNP Zoom button and put it on the left side of the steering wheel. I use the cig lighter to charge my phone.

Stunning build Paul, I really like the direction you have gone with your NA.

I ordered a RM lighter blank a few weeks ago too, excited about receiving it :)

Keep the updates coming

You wont be disappointed! Cant wait to order more RM goodies.

Thanks for the kind words.

Tiny tiny update... got another small package from RetroModern. Knurled dimmer switch cover. Love the detail.

And something silly I picked up while visiting Shaw AFB on the way home from Disney. Plan is to attach it to the gas lid release lever for shits and giggles.

Me too! not too much longer until I have access to the car.

Nice additions Paul! :drinkto: I need to pick up a few items from Retro Modern. I also have a similar "rip cord" tag for the fuel door, except it says "AV GAS"(red), and one for the trunk that says "CARGO HOLD"(black)...although still need to finalize the attachment point since i just put the factory cable in on the key ring end so it's not real secure.

Thank you! Great minds think alike lol

What size tag gas did you use? I feel this red tag I have will be too large, but like I said, just for shits and giggles.

Next purchase from RM will be the ignition switch cover. Gotta make some more custom toy trucks to sell to fund Miata parts.

Your car looks great Paul!

Thank you! slowly but surely.

Sorry for the lack of updates! Finally got the car out of the garage. Weather was awful here for way too long. Feels great to drive the car again. Was also able to install some simple parts that have been sitting around.

RM Cigarette Lighter plug. Need to get in contact with Adam for a possible M logo insert to match the other badges I have (nose badge, key chain, oil cap etc). This plug is incredible. Sets off that part of the dash perfectly.

Project G oil cap w/ Revlimiter insert. Great looking cap and even nicer when I applied Adam's badge

RM Dimmer switch cover. Another amazing piece from Ken at RM. Just the perfect touch.

Project G Dipstick. Amazing piece. Nicest looking and feeling dipstick Ive ever touched lol

All in all, Im extremely happy with these little pieces that I have been applying. Just sets the car off perfectly.

Now to get rid of this awful purple valve cover....
