    Newbie from Ohio

    Hi, I really like this site. Have a '96 I'm rebuilding from a slight poke in the nose years ago. Bought it that way and slowly getting it together. Found a Garage Vary Winding Dancer type III 4 piece kit, (front and rear bumpers and side skirts) for a good price but, the mounting brackets, turn signals and headlight covers did not come with it, (previous owner lost or never got them). I've emailed Garage Vary in Japan twice with no response and just sent another to Japanparts.com to see if I get any response back from them. Anyone know of any other sources? Pictures on the sites kinda look like the headlight covers are maybe Lexan and upper portions are painted to match. The kit came with new lamps, but that was it.

    Sufferin' Succotash! A buckeye with a kit from the Far East. Post some pics of what you have and maybe some of what you are looking for if you can and I'm sure you will get some help.

    I'm from Columbus/Pickerington if you're ever in the area. Make sure to look up Ohio Miata Owners on facebook if you haven't already, tons of help/parts/info/meets discussed there!

    Hi, no pics yet, I found the kit on Craigslist, the guy is from Marysville and last I looked he hadn't taken the ad off yet. He just wanted it gone. So I bought it. Still looking for 4 things, l&r headlight lenses, and l&r turn signals. Not with the kit, he says, but I contacted Japanparts.com and they said Garage Vary doesn't supply individual parts like this. I'm skeptical and still hoping for a response from Garage Vary.

    NICE!!! Mine is a type III kit. Go to Garage Vary website look Winding Dancer type III and see pics of the front . It does away with the flip-up headlights and you get new lamps and the openings are covered with clear plastic (lexan?) that go back into the hood cut-outs for the original tip-up lights.
