Aww, yous guys! ^_^
It's the set of Jenveys Reverant had on his personal car for a while, and he offered them at a great price, with a generous discount for a brand new Megasquirt, so I had to have them.

The ITB's are great but I'm jazzed for you about that carbon airbox, I don't know what Mazda it's from or if it's custom but... damn Gina
I recieved a Euro/UK MX-5 emblem yesterday! Any tips on weathering it so it doesn't appear brand new against my horribly faded rear panel? Or.. a lead on a clean Classic Red rear panel??

From what Rev told me, he got it from someone in the US, who was racing with a Miata, and it's custom made.

Today I got promoted from Grease-monkey to Test-Ape.
One of our fellow forum-members is alpha testing a nice add. With the first-time shipping test we might have slipped to Beta-tests. Locals can shut-your-face on what this is! LOL
I hope to get a chance to install it this week-end. But that depends on when my roof is replaced and the weather.
What is it?
Yes, I used my favorite Sunday driving shirt ( from SpinnyWhoosh ) as the backdrop. And flipped it so the labels didn't show. Alpha/Beta test. I've been sworn to secrecy till the trials are done.

RM Door Pulls – Flat Face Edition without raised center boss portion. Thanks to @retromodernusa for accommodating my special request. It seems they used to regularly offer this style but the one they advertise now has a raised center boss.
Both styles look good, it's all just a matter of personal preference. The more plain style works better for my current interior plans since I'm trying to visually de-clutter the space and go for a less-obviously-decorative clubman/ M2-1028 look.
Also, that's got to be the world's smallest set screw. He even included a tiny allen wrench for it. I appreciate the attention to detail. There is a left and a right piece so that the set screw is normally hidden from driver/ passenger view.
Now the only question is do I leave them as is or do I hard anodize or powder-coat them black? I've read that it can be difficult to get a UV stable, long-lasting deep black color when doing it at home and that many commercial anodizers even have trouble with black parts subject to high UV and fluorescent lighting exposure. Powder coating could be problematic due to the surface thickness that might interfere given the tight fit between the two pieces. I've even considered paint but am worried about durability. Revlimiter has some nice black HVAC eyeball vent trim rings available in gloss black and satin black. Not sure how well I can get all the different blacks to match.
