    Eunos trim installed with a Redline leather shift boot with white stitch. I also installed the ebrake boot as well.





    The white stitch matches the steering wheel and door pulls nicely

    More progress today. I finally installed the inner door handles from Randy's group buy. They are amazing. All I need now is to track down some metal door cups.



    Door all back together.



    I also installed the Roadster sill plates at the same time, much better than the plastic versions.

    Next up was the runabout mirrors, they really add that retro look to the car.





    Jet Stream headlight cover was up next. The install was straightforward but the plastic shroud did need some minor trimming for a proper fit.

    Last but not least was the rennmetal tow hook. Adds a sporty look IMO. I am no sold on this style yet so I may change it out for something else.



    That's it for now, more coming soon.

    Adam's HVAC face plate compared to the original, quite the improvement I would say.



    Center stack all back together, still waiting on my replacement gauge hood to be back together 100%. You can now see the RS Factory Stage shift knob and ebrake handle, RS classic switch, AWD HVAC face plate and aluminum vent rings and knobs. Big thanks to Rod @ Tetsuya, Max @ Rev9 and Adam @ Revlimeter for these excellent parts I think the interior came together quite nicely.

    Man, this car is coming together so nicely. But with beautiful pieces like those, how could it turn out badly?
    1990 Miata, she was red but now she is Spirit Green!

    Next project up is a GV rear spoiler. I've had this sitting around for a while and wasn't sure if I was going to use it or not. I thought originally to leave it black but I'm going to paint it body color.

    Still waiting on my spoiler to get back but I took it for a ride today, first one in a month.

    Any more shots of the spoiler at a few different angles?
    2012: Purchased Miata, Laid off 3 days later. 4th place overall (default!), NWOR SCCA (RTR)
    2013: Budget RTR build, massive increase in participation, 3rd place overall, NWOR SCCA (RTR)
    2014: Suspension and more active competition in STS. 3rd place overall, NWOR SCCA
    2015: Time for some "form" and vintage styling (while still racing NWOR, of course).
