    The Garage Vary panel is ALWAYS a good choice, look forward to seeing painted and installed on your BRG.

    Thanks! Just dropped it off to paint, along with the trunk lid I picked up. Should be done this week.



    Snagged what I believe to be an AutoKonexion Ver. 2.5 trunk lid from a friend.





    I also got a great call from RSpeed last week, and paid them a lot of money today.

    Friend of mine took some pics at my drift event the other night. (I organize/host, not drifting the Miata.)

    Second box had this odd sticker combo.



    Hello Shirley





    Finally, I got my hands on a KG panel. I passed up at least 3 for sale in the last 6 months or so, and then a few told me the RSpeed shipment was coming in September. I called a few weeks ago to be added to a backup list, as all were spoken for. Then last week I got a call that they had one they could set aside. Few days later, it's in my hands. The quality is outstanding, and even more than I could have imagined.

    Nice parts, can't wait to see them installed. And I agree with what Paul said above. When I saw them for the first time, I didn't like them. But when you installed them? Fantastic!

    Thank you! I've always loved them, and thanks to Bo, I was able to get a set for a steal.

    So I went to install Adam's KG lenses today, and things got interesting. As I was removing the 4 buttonhead screws holding the panel together, I started to fear the very last one was stripping. It did. I then resorted to trying a torx bit shoved in to no avail. I conferred with Adam, and he suggested something that scared the hell out of me.




    "Try using a Dremel to cut a slot in it."

    I was pretty nervous, as it was a brand new panel, and I have never actually used my dremel except for maybe one time on a wood project. Needless to say, I was terrified.

    I took it to the kitchen counter, made sure I had safety glasses, and could sit down and have better control of the Dremel. I set it at full speed, and took it slow, just barely touching the screw. I'd cut for a second or two, then let off and check with a flathead. After the first two tries, I was unsuccessful and began to worry. But in the words of Aaliyah(RIP),

    "If at first you don't succeed
    Dust yourself off and try it again
    You can dust it off and try again"

    I tried a third time, and when I put a flathead in I put a lot of pressure on the back and tried to slowly turn it. Miraculously, it turned, and a few seconds later it was out and I could breathe again.
