    Long time lurker, first time poster. Figured I'd post these images I've had saved on my hard drive for a while as further retroish inspiration for us NB folks.

    NB is definitely classic.........

    Just like you can make an NA as retro as you want......the NB can be made as classic as your heart desires!

    Quality content, nice! I was discussing with Demon how rare it is to find an NB(2) with a Zoom fuel lid. TBH, I have seen pictures of one only, our own RotorNutFD3S' black NB.

That being said when I had the car repainted I threw the stock fuel lid back on (figured it might as well match just in case) and never swapped it back for the vintage lid, I guess it was just time for a change. What Slipstreem said is true too, I've seen the same lid powdercoated black on a black car and it looked great as well. Here's a couple more shots, in the last picture you can just see the lid, I think it's just the right splash of chrome.





    I am sooo tempted to get one right now, I am pretty confident it will look right at home on my Strato blue NB2 as well....

    More GV tailight content:



    Not sure if I like them or not.. I surely love them on NA's, but on NB's they might look a bit out of place.

    I ordered one last night. Not sure how it'll look on white, but we'll find out. Wonder how long it takes to get parts from Japanland.

    It will look awesome! If you want it to stand out more, you can always powdercoat it black, albeit I would not. I am pretty sure someone (Chad?) has reported something silly-fast regarding shipping, but cannot recall specifics...

    I'm not sure if this will give some a better idea but here is my Miata equipped with the GV Tail and the Zoom Fuel lid. I can also upload a different pic angle if one would like to see more.

    May I ask why you do not have a build thread yet? Your NB looks amazing!

    P.S. I can already spot elise seats, awesome interior, square mirrors and are those Hayashis?!

    Thank you for the kind words HarryB.
    Speaking of mirrors, I replaced the NB stock one with this vintage one used from an AC Cobra

    😊 Thank you too GoMifune and to u guys that have enjoyed my pics.
    As per GoMifune's request, I've added a couple more displaying Revlimiter's beautiful vintage gauges as well as my custom speaker grill for the NB

    NBs in general look better with race look. The curve lines in a black roadster look better and better as the car ages

    Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your submissions, but we have a winner here.

    Gotta love the details even more. Not sure if there's such thing as a winner...PFunk, Jeremy, Retromodern and others did a great job, but definitely this car is up there as well, as one of my favorites NBs. That being said, I am thinking of shamelessly copy some of your solutions if you do not mind much! What we NEED though is MORE PICTURES and a proper car presentation/build thread!
