I went to a dealership in Valparaiso to get the car I needed and walked away very happy. The experts at the dealership were able to get me the perfect car.

    I <3 flippy.... Not sure about legality, but its an easy fix. . . back in the day of my similarly green car, I removed the side markers and covered in el-cheapo window tint. I always liked that look, and the lights were more than bright enough to be seen. Plus, its easily reversible. Just a thought after seeing your car. The green brings back memories. . . (If I go green, I will be doing. . . )

    So a little bit of an update on the car since my last post. I have lowered the car, I'm rocking Tein-S springs over my Koni yellows. I installed my autopower roll bar, I'm stitching a seat together, put in a nardi and tried to put in my new exhaust. (It gave me problems so I'll have to tackle it another day).

    ON TO THE PICTURES! *warning, the images you are about to see are attempts at me trying to be a photographer... with a cell phone. It also has a mix of pictures a friend took, editing software, friends cars and the pictures will probably be huge. Brace yourselves*



    Mine is in the center obviously, thanks Arvin!



    Trying to make a cheap seat!



    Such a pretty miata



    And me being an idiot with photo editing software. I stumbled on saturation curves!

    Anyway thats the updates.

    Next on the list!
    1. Putting on my new (to me exhaust) jasma header, bosol cat back exhuast stupid rusted bolts
    2. Install Planet miata side skirts
    3. Get around to that seat
    4. MOAR STICKERS!
    5. Maybe new headlights????

    Anyway thanks for looking at my stuff folks!

    More pictures?

    Well here is the picture before the editor got to it.


    From behind


    Then I tried to use a panorama shot as a wide angle shot and failed but its worth another picture eh?


    Maybe I should buy a nice fancy camera like the other folks on here.... hmmm

    I figured that. I'm no photographer and all of these were taken on my windows phone at a random spot. Thank you for the encouragement, photography is starting to grow on me and I have the urge to buy a camera....

    I feel the same way, but since I don't have money to buy a nice camera I usually drive to my sister's place to play with her camera whenever I start wishing I had a nice one. Sometimes all the settings on a proper camera get overwhelming though and I just get frustrated and start snapping pictures quickly lol...

    p.s- love the color of your car!

    I feel like I would be overwhelmed also, but it could be a cool hobby. Not to sure, and thank you

    Got rid of the 6UL's, now I'm rocking OG sans. I can really feel the weight difference but its not important to me. Planet miata side skirts are in, along with some new vent rings!
