    The bumper and Hood are the only RS-A parts, the flares look to be Auto-Try, and GV side skirts, lots of stuff thrown together.

    The bumper and Hood plus some T99-N2 Flares would look much better IMHO
    A little late to respond, but I went to a meet on Treasure Island a few months ago and I met a guy that knows the guy that bought that specific car. At the time he said that they were working on trying to get it fixed, I am not sure if it is still in the works or scraped. I don't remember the guys name... but yes it is some where in Northern California... hopefully in good hands.

    Phatmiata, how do you like those TruckLite LED headlights? I have been contemplating getting a set of those for my 92...they seemed a little heavy - I assume you have no problems with the headlight motors lifting and holding them in place?

    My car is not in this thread, you must be talking about one of the photos i posted? I have Stock headlights on my miata right now. I have some low pros here, but not installed.

    I can chime in on this one, as I have had the Phase 6 lights as well as the current Phase 7 lights. They are definitely heavy compared to traditional sealed beam and ecode headlights. The headlight motors have no issues raising/lowering them, but I have found that headlight "shake" (from the car's vibrations and from hitting bumps) when the lights are up is a bit worse than otherwise. I think largely it's due to worn hardware and components allowing more flex than there should be, since the passenger side doesn't flex much at all but the driver side shakes a lot. It's a little bit annoying, but it's not to be unexpected from a car that is 16+ years old.

    Here is a new style headlight listed under the NA Roadster category that has been popping up in Japan recently.
