No pictures of the damage just yet. I visited two body shops yesterday, haven't received the estimate from the one place (I've used them in the past to paint various bits for the Miata) but the dealer quoted $977.
It is a nice day here so I took the opportunity to take a drive down one of my favorite Miata roads to do a comparison. The park where I have taken pictures of the Miata is on the way so I stopped in. Here is how she looks with the wheels done:

I am expecting some flat black valve stem caps today so the only thing shiny will be the lug nuts.

The red pieces are the plastic cards I bought to use specifically for this. Finally, guess where the factory wheels are made?
