    I need more hidden cracks in my NA8C dash like I need a second one on my ass.

    Anyone got a clean and fresh NA6 tan dash they'd like to donate?

    I must be in the minority but I like the NA8 dash better.

    NA6 looks clean with the flat passenger side (no airbag)

    I've wanted to for the longest time now. All I need is the tan NA6 dash, a black crash pad, and a JDM DIN tombstone. Oh, and some tan loop carpet too... and some 93LE speaker covers... and some Nakamae quilted bits. You know, just the base essentials, no biggie.

    I've seen it at ilmotorsport as an option, but googling it only lead me to german pages which I cannot read: was there a miata with a 1.9 liter engine?

    You might want to pick up (or recover your existing) upper door cards in black. It's a much nicer flow.

    example: DSC07484 by Tony Driver, on Flickr

    I plan to do the conversion on my Miata also when I find time... I picked up a dash from a 92 SE I believe earlier this summer. It came with the tombstone but no hood. Will my current 94 hood fit?


    This is what I want mine to look like though, without the center portion and glove box.
    This interior has been a huge inspiration to me. Not sure who it belongs to though.

    Also I can't remember who it is but one of our forum members did an aluminum inlay in his crash pad and it looks absolutely awesome!

    That was Slevin's? I think... I couldn't go back to daily driving without carpet and heat shielding.

    No your 94 hood will not fit on the 92 dash. I made that mistake a few years back.

    I would keep the carpet also. I like the sound barrier that carpet adds along with comfort.

    So the tan closed loop carpet does not quite match the tan OEM carpet? Or is that the faded tan color I am seeing?
