    And done. Fitment is still ehh in some spots. I need to remove the trunk tensioner. I messed with it for a few minutes and couldn't seem to figure out it's trick. But I do think it changes the entire car's attitude.

    I also went through three silicones. First was a "clear" that applies white. Got it on, then read that it takes 7-14 days to clear. So I went back to Lowe's and grabbed a small tube of clear that goes on clear, and then a black tube that needed a caulk gun. I wasn't happy with the clear, so I took it off too and used the black.

    I also believe I did the wires differently than some. I was having fitment issues with the fiberglass inserts, so I actually saw a grommet to the left of the license plate wires, poked a hole through it and then ran my wires through.

    Absolutely beautiful. I wish my roadster looked this cool just some months after I bought it. Congrats.

    Congrates, nice pix and good job on the how to, GV is a cool panel, even had some guys get me to turn mine on at MATG so they could check out the lights.

    Thank you! I love it. In my defense, I had been saving up and buying some parts here and there for the last year or so.

    Thanks! I'm happy with it for now. Probably touch it up again one of these days.

    Everything looks great, and you are moving at warp speed!!!

    Love the trunklid, my only nit pick is the 3rd brake light is now covered and now there is no more cool KG-Works "Roadster" Tail light

    I can see how the GV lights will fit weird, but I dont think mine had those extra tabs? at least my original set on the 96 didnt, and the second set never had them either? I need to open the box this most recent set and check mine now.

    Yeah, there's no third brake light at all. But I will be switching out the trunks here and there eventually. Plan is to get a luggage rack, and that will be when I pull out the other trunk. Now I'm like a Miata hoarder with extra parts just laying around.

    Went to a car meet today. I fit in pretty well.




    Day 12, the natives haven't noticed I'm not one of them. Still gaining their trust.

    Would look more awesomer with a Trap, or Hirai front lip. but you might be too low for one of those.

    You might hate me, but I think your car would look even better if it was less low... there, I said it!

    Seriously now, top job, congrats!

    If anything it'd get a R package or Trap. But the GV was free and onl put on to look better than it did.

    Thanks! Maybe one day, but I'm happy with the height for now.

    Our apartment is holding up. Miata isn't bad. Drove the 3 through water that would have killed the miata on the way home.

    Got a nice package today. I have wanted these for at least four years. Now they're mine.
