    Welcome to the site! That's a sweet looking red Miata. I have to ask about the custom driving lights that are in the nose. Did you install them? What kind of car did they come off of?

    That third shot is awesome!

    I really like the nb lights, they fit perfectly in place with the lines of the bumper.
