    Which side skirts for NA?

    I'd like to add a set of side skirts to my NA, but I see a few options out there. Garage Star, a few on ebay & Carbon Miata.

    I already have a R style front lip (No plans to remove it).

    I would like to add the Carbon Miata rear side valance pieces as well. So, ideally, I'd like the side skirts to fly decently with the R lip & those rear pieces. I will be leaving everything black.

    Also not looking for anything that is a huge pain to install or requires any real modification outside of drilling some holes.

    Which set is my best bet?
    2004 Mazdaspeed Miata
    2018 Charger Hellcat

    But... the price is above the limit you mentioned.

    The Project G units are really solid. I haven’t seen any turn to bacon.

    I hope Carbonmiata does not copy the wing!
    I sure like that mine will not be very common.
    I was very lucky to get that!

    My EcotecMiata turn key swap could be done tomorrow. Then it will be taken to the dyno for tuning over the next two weeks. Yeah, so excited!
    After I get the car home I am looking forward to doing the light body modifications like adding the wing, rear GV panel, front spoiler & splitter, hood vents, bumper vents and lots of other functional garnish.

    Gonna be hard to rep that original MazdaSpeed wing cheaply since the center portion is hollow aluminum

    I'm sure there are some scummy companies that would just replace the aluminum center with some crap tier fiberglass. Hopefully that doesn't happen though.

    If you are keen on that rear spoiler touch base with Dan at Jdmparts.rupewrecht on Facebook. An original is currently available (or at least was last night).

    Yes I'm sure, but OG's would spot that fake instantly, that was what "made" that spoiler so cool back in the 1990's
