    Well damn.
    I got all excited for nothing. Hopefully you can get this straightened out quickly.

    I test fitted it and its perfect besides that small oversight they had.

    The squares are half an inch smaller than what I currently have in the interior.



    This ticked me off too. They folded the piece instead of rolling it when it was shipped. It left some unpleasant creases.

    I know...took them 5 weeks to complete it. They better put this on the top of their priority now.

    Where were you yesterday? Didn't go to Coffee and Rice?

    Parts for my front splitter project are coming in.

    I found a place called tap plastics that has large sheets of ABS plastic(longer than 48") and can custom cut to any size. The size I ordered was 0.236" x 19.5" x 66". This should be the perfect size I need to make my splitter extend 2.5 inches from the bumper with minimal cuts along the corners.

    Smooth side. Textured on other side.



    1/4" thick...didn't want flimsy stuff.




    APR hardware and supporting rods.



    Some profile exterior shots of the JetStream side skirts.

    Progress on my front splitter.

    I used cardboard and shaped the front splitter on one side. I then traced it onto my ABS sheet and flipped it over on the other end so it can be symmetrical.



    Used a small jigsaw to cut the abs sheet.



    Test fitted on bumper. Needed some tweaking to get the shape somewhat perfect.



    I then decided to convert this to more of an aesthetic piece. Before the inner cut it weighed 8.8lbs and now its down to 4.4lbs



    Wefest Texas was this weekend. I attended the premeet and met some other fellow miata owners like ihatecars.

    These are the only good pics I was able to take on my IPhone6.

    Got my replacement JPM Coachworks transmission tunnel cover so my old one is now for sale.

    Can't even see it here but oh well...I suck at taking pics.




    Old one for sale.



    I painted my APR splitter rods black and got some hardware to complete the project(M5 spacer/collar, L brackets, wire cable clamps)

    Finally finished my custom splitter.

    Had to drill almost 20 holes in my expensive autoexe front bumper :/


    Did my best to center everything. I mounted my APR rods in a similar fashion as SlickAuto's car.



    Had to use 25mm worth of nylon spacers on each support rod to clear the front bumper.



    Finished late in the evening so this is the best pic I could take.



    Awesome pic I found from the Wekfest pre-meet.

    Omg. I'm in the Wekfest photo!

    On a serious note, I'm glad you got the trans cover sorted. That splitter looks insanely cool. Maybe next time I can take some photos of your car that won't get deleted.
