Mike and his wife are good people (Autokonexion). The panels will need fitment, like any fiberglass parts. What you going to do for wheels? Shallow offset or monster spacers?
Remember my questions before on the wheels. I am still kind of lost on what type to buy or how they are offset. But wheel and tire package is on the list after i order wide body kit.

Which fenders 30 or 40mm?
Just a rough estimate, but if a 15x8et20 is fairly flush on OE fenders, you could run a 15x8et0 with plenty of room, possibly a 15x9 et0, depending on the fender.
When you order, ask Mike what offset will fit without the tires catching them. I think the 15x8 will work best for tire selections in 205/50, versus 225/45 on a wider wheel (for a square mount on the wheel).
15 x 9 0 offset. 225/50/15 tire. Thats only in thought. I am not locked in on that idea yet.

FYI Buyer Beware
The condition of the following hardtop is not accurate. The paint chip mentioned in the listing is actually a severe crack in the fiberglass that needs immediate repair. The seals are also not new. This top was bought last night and immediately re-listed. Was sold for $750 with the strikers last night.

Picture of said crack:Miata HardTop w/ defrost & striker plates - $1000 (Benson/Garner/Raleigh)
I have a mint condition blue hard top with latches and striker plates! top has small chip in paint on one corner!
Seals brand new, headliner great condition !
price is 1000obo
I've seen this top in person and the crack looks worse than the picture shows.

Good looking out jamie.
Craigslist just seems to keep getting shadier and shadier.
I need to put in work on my car. Piglet needs a good bath. Also needs the EGR valve cleaned (P4020) and to find the root of the Bad cat/o2 code P0420. Just have not had the free time for it.
I know what you mean. I finnaly made the time to . Replace worn seat belt. Remove softtop and the frame . Install window guides. Install garagesrar door bushings. Put leds in the knee lights. Install leds in factory rearview mirror. And I made an adjustment to the mount on my passanger seat for my wife so she would be more comfortable. This weekend I am getting windows tinted then I will be installing my hardtop permanent mounts

I went to gym today to pick my daughter up from cheer practice and parked out front a 2016 miata. The owner was walking up to it and saw me looking at it and since I was in my miata they stopped for a second to talk to me. She said its her 5th miata and to her surprise its not as roomy as other models. She said the passanger side is very small . I did not have time to fet out and look but if its smaller than an NA I can never buy one. Im almost to big for my car now lol.

I've worked 2 12s this week, just to get caught up on some of the shit I'm buried under. Looking to be a 60 hour work week :/. If only I got paid for all this overtime.
I feel you. I am at work 10 hrs a day Monday thru Friday and every other Saturday I work half a day. Today i left work early I am just feeling horrible.
Eeesh, that's gotta be a hard adjustment. Hope you start feeling better.
