Looking good man!

Are your stock wheels Plastidip?

Loving this build! You are correct that you can just use a hole saw to mount the jdm lights. The only reason they have that weird cutout is so that you can twist them and remove them easily to replace a burned out bulb. I did the same as you with a hole saw and there is no way they will come out unless you reach around from inside the fender and pinch those tabs a push the the lights out. Honestly though with LED lights you likely never have to change the bulbs.

I could do those letters in chrome with the epoxy dome on top if you'd like. That wouldn't be difficult.

And thanks for the badge order!!! Please remember to not install over fresh paint. The paint needs to outgas for a couple months or it will tarnish the chrome while doing so.

Car is looking great!

Warhammer is looking great!

I'm not big on lettering on vehicles but when down properly it can look great, like what you have done. I like it in red but chrome as Adam offered to make might look just as good or better....

I actually painted them, not Plastidip. Unfortunately, when I spun off the highway and had to get the car towed, the tow truck driver scraped the hell out of my wheels with the buckles on the tie down straps. I plan on getting new wheels soon, so I haven't bother to repaint them.

Thanks Adam! Like most, its a constant work in progress. Wheels, suspension, turbo, etc... Custom gauge faces have been on my wish list for a while. There's always something else to do next. But what would I do if I suddenly realized I was done?!?!

Thanks for the tip on the paint. I didn't know that. I'd hate to ruin such a gorgeous badge!

I'm still tossing around ideas on how the rear badging will end up. I discovered my wife's Cricut and I'm having fun cutting all sorts of stuff out of vinyl! I have some brushed aluminum-look vinyl left over from a previous project, so I might give that a try. (I also have some carbon fiber DiNoc in black and red.) I'm leaning more toward flat black (a la Porsche) than chrome. While I (obviously) like red on my car, I think that the red Eunos above the red license plate may be a bit much. Since the new stripes will be red in the center with black on both sides, I think black badging will look good.

I'm thinking the big "Eunos" at the top, the ND "Roadster" at the bottom left, and then I need to find a badge to cove the holes at the bottom right as a place holder until I eventually go FI. Then I can put a "turbo" badge there. Once I really settle on a color, I'll probably have the Eunos letters 3D printed to make them look even more "factory".

Ever since installing the body kit, I've had several people stop to compliment the car and ask what it is. I'm sure the Eunos badging will just add to the confusion, lol!

These are the stripes I'm going to use. For my Miata, I'll need the Ferrari stripes sized down to 80% ti fit right.



I just found out from one of the guys at work that his mom owns a sign and graphics shop, so he's going to get me an estimate for having them made.

what fender flare bolts did you end up using?

[—tsingson—]

If only the free tools weren't so rusted they were useless.

Have them sit in some Coke.

what fender flare bolts did you end up using?

I used these bolts and washers that ordered from Amazon.

Aluminum?

[Warhammer]

Stainless bolts with anodized aluminum washers.

Enough to defeat rust. A little corrosion but that's about it. Good job.

@Warhammer would you be interested in selling your stock NB wheels once you get a new set? If so, I might be interested in buying them. I've got a brilliant black NA that they would look really good on and I'm just north of you in Oklahoma.

Sure. I'll PM you my number.
