    Loving the new zoom mirrors! I'll wait until things warm up around here before I install them though!

    You may be able to sand and re-clear them, show me a pic of the defect!

    Didn't want to clutter up your thread but here is the link, post #125 third pic down, first pic of the driver side mirror just off center(from the center of the mirror), up and to the left of the bright reflection there is a u shaped crack that looks to go all the way thru the clear coat:

    The pics from Rod didn't have it so some how i did it or it happened in transit but i doubt it was the latter as they were packaged well. If i did sell them they would best be suited to color match, imo. These really are some of the best looking and functional aftermarket options out there for the NA miata.

    I might be interested, if you decide to sell them, Chad. Maybe...

    Do a quick test for me, if you wet the mirror in that spot, does it nearly disappear? If so, you should be able to sand and refinish them with only clearcoat and make it nearly unnoticeable!

    I got my zoom mirrors installed, and got the car cleaned up a bit from winter. Don't mind the ugly winter wheels!

    I also was finally able to readjust my rear coilovers and deal with the bottoming out I was experiencing. Turns out it was a combination of needing flatouts' new top hats, and giving the spring just a bit more preload. The car rides better than stock now! I have to tip my hat to flatout suspension for working with me to resolve the issues and even sending me the revised top hats at no cost! Their customer service is awesome!

    Today I ordered a garagestar radiator trim panel, and one of their ebrake handles. Hope to get them soon, can't wait to install them!

    At this point, I think I'm pretty much done with the interior, with the exception of needling to either lower my stock seats or finding an aftermarket solution that will work well with the rest of the car.

    Ok, I'm in seat mode now... I did a foamectomy on my drivers seat, and while it's a bit more comfy now, it doesn't get me below the bar (hdhcdd). I'm considering the Marrad seats, but damn they're expensive. I have a possible line on some non reclineable Recaro seats, and I'm honestly considering the Canadian Brides with some garagestar rails as an option. I originally wanted to go with seats more in the style of the nakamae seats, but I just can't swing it at the moment, and driving the car is a bit dangerous at the moment.

    Any insight is welcomed!
