    Omg garage hundred trunk is niceyy...

    And I'm not sure how popular it'd be, but an NA hood with the headlight covers moulded in? I guess it's an autoX thing, but ISC racing makes one but you can still see the gap lines between the covers an hood on their version...

    A short rear bumper because Simpson designs' is like 700 bucks...

    I like the Voltex Wing, and the Trunk on the Blue GHO Roadster, also I like the 1st and 2nd picture of the NB slim line doors, looks much better than stock. The DG one looks too overdone, less is more you know.

    Will defiantly add door cards to the pack. Only thing is how to mount. I don't think screwing it in would be nice looking. It would have to be fastened inside looking like stock fasteners will have to be ordered!

    Nielex Metal Door panels had screwed in door panel fasteners instead of the plastic push clips, maybe add a neoprene washer to keep the noise down?

    I wouldn't think people would like screws. But if its okay that would be fine by me. Or I could just sell them as full panels and the buyer could cut what they want, mount how they want.

    Your right. The screws wouldn't look right. It's the only thing I hate about the D-technique door panels.



    I would recommend making the panels go over the edge like the OEM so they can be clipped on using the OEM rivets on the sides. The one hole that is fine being on the door panel exposed would be the one that gets hidden by the dash when the door is closed.

    I like the idea of not making any holes and making the customer decide what to do with it since they are so many options like.... hole or no hole for speaker, one screw or two holes for pull strap. Also, Door handles are in different positions for 99-00 and 01-05.

    If you can incorporate the rubber seal that sits inbetween the door panels and the glass window that would be great. Not sure how its mounted to the door panel but it would be nice to remove that two piece rubber seal and attach it to the new door panels.

    I understood all of that but the last paragraph. Where would the rubber seal be? If you are talking about the top window seal that actually touches the window I wouldn't be making that you would use your stock one unless a full carbon door card and "top hat?" was asked for.

    I see you we're on topic of NB door cards. I will have to see when my NB gets here what you are talking about.

    Lower price lips for NB2.
    I had a Touge run lip on my car for about 3 months. It was around $210 shipped which I wouldn't normally mind paying, but it only lasted 3 months.

    My car is far from Miata world slammed but its pretty low. The material that the lip was made of though, was absolute garbage. It was strong, but it didnt flex when it scraped so It got destroyed. Very quickly.

    I would like a Polyurethane lip for a NB2 that is GV style

    And why this one went out of production I have no idea, NB1 lip for NB2 bumpers.

    If you need a NB2 for testing let me know, I don't live to far away.

    Yes. The top window seal. Not asking to replicate it. Just saying to leave a way to mount the stock ones onto yours.

    Side rivets



    Rivet hidden by dash when door closed.

    Glad to see so much interest for NBs. There's already plenty of options on the market for NAs.

    If the door is closed, you won't be able to see then. It also makes it look more like a race car too.

    Very cool work. One thing that I always wanted for my NB2 was a good looking rear diffuser:





    I'm also pretty close (Gainesville, FL) and our local club is more than willing to be test dummies! (http://gnvmiatas.net/forum.php). Check us out on facebook too!
