    Many years ago, I designed a NACA duct headlight lid for a 3rd party company (honestly can’t remember the name). Rather, I built the plug for their mold out of a stock headlight lid. I calculated the angles, cut a stock lid up, and made walls for the duct. I even smoothed the outlet so that there wouldn’t be a large lip for the air to hit. The lid worked with both the OEM lights and the Moss lowpros installed on Sharka. It was pretty sweet.

    I shipped the plug off and received this prototype carbon fiber headlight lid as payment. And then nothing came of it. The lid was never put into production and the company fell off the face of the earth. I wish I could remember the name.

    The prototype never fit my 97 at all. It hung on the wall of my garage for years. One day, I decided to fit it to Sharka-the-95 and see how bad the fit was. Answer? Not bad at all. It actually fit better than the OEM lid. The panel lines were really straight and even all around the lid.


    My DIY garage paint job.



    After full respray.

    I think it's a Carbon Miata lid, but I'm not sure. Seller wasn't sure either. It's a pretty sturdy piece though.
