Thanks everyone for the feedback on the video!
My new seats will be here tomorrow! Installing them this weekend. Will post pics once they are in.
Today i did some stuff. Don't mind the dirty engine bay. Realized i never use the windshield wiper fluid, so i deleted the reservoir. Also deleted 3 metal brackets and tucked their respective wires out of view. Also tucked a big loom of wire going to the fusebox out of the way. Next i want to tuck the fusebox itself so its out of the way, and maybe relocate the coolant overflow tank behind the bumper so it's out of the engine bay. But before that I am going to degrease and detail the engine bay once it gets warm out.

Sooo my original plan was to install the Robins glass/defrost soft top i bought...but then I found a guy 1-1/2 hours away selling a black top with zippered glass already on the frame for $200...about half what i paid for the vinyl top alone. Only took us about an hour to take my old frame/top off and put the new one on. Not bad at all! and now i can resell my unused brand new top and make money back. Win/Win! Next weekend I will finally be installing my Hard Dog M2 roll bar.
I can finally take high up pictures (displaying the roof) again lol. No more ghetto duct tape on the roof lol. Now she's pretty again.
Washed the car today...I love this zipper window!
Got the windows tinted friday (35%). Still need to put the rollbar in...lol need to find time for that.
My friend got some nice shots this weekend at our friend's detailing shop grand opening
So facebook just reminded me...it has been 1 year now since I bought my Miata! It has come a long way from the little ugly turd it used to be lol.
After 4 hours of back-breaking work, got the rollbar on by myself, just needed someone to hold the bolts up top while i wrenched them down under the car.
Took me an hour to get the old style bar off because I didnt realize there was a hidden nut/bolt on each side. I found it after an hour of beating and trying to cut the style bar...oh well.
This coming week i will be installing the front splitter and canards, just in time for my club's car show next Sunday.
Don't mind the filthy car, it's covered in pollen and i was too exhausted to wash it afterwards.
Also realized i'm missing a bolt on the seatbelt tower, but I will do that tomorrow.
Got the front splitter on last night. After stripping a sway bar bushing bolt and then having issues with the splitter support rods, finally got it done lol. But now i have to go back to Home Depot today to get a shorter L bracket to bolt the support rods to up higher. Had to ziptie it for now to get home lol. Splitter didn't scrape any with the zipties supporting it, but i'm afraid my car might be too low for this splitter haha. Will be hitting up Home Depot after work today.
I might have to change my front lip to an R-package lip so it will sit higher off the ground. We'll see how this works.
Ok no more zipties! Rods are on and this thing is rock solid!
