what an beautiful machine... -dwight howard
What do you guys think of IL motorsports lights? im on the fence
The seat is dope. The GV wing... steal it from Ryan. For the tail lights, they're neat. But I'd prefer the first rendering of the single lamp.
too much altezza style.. it'd look good with only one circle in the tails, like your profile pic.
More lights plus upholstery
Well, in my search for some aftermarket tail lights, i gave myself a little temporary project.
i simply swapped the tail and signal lights by trimming the leading edges of the twist-mount housings for the bulbs. worked great... always contemplated as to why Mazda never arranged the lights in this manner (i guess viewing area and illumination safety standards come into play here).
And contacted Miata Roadster about Morette tail lights, thinking about going with this option, as they cost about as much as buying a guinea-pig set of lights, new round lamps, fiberglass, adhesives, wiring, etc.
Found some spare vinyl, and cut some roundels for vintage sake. i like it, despite being blank, its a nice graphical indication.
Note the Garage Star plate mount, to avoid more penalty fees
Started making patterns and mock ups for a center console cover. will be making the final version out of tan vinyl/leather. will cover entire center assembly- with round aluminum trim ring for the shift gate, aluminum trim for the window buttons, and quilted matching covers for the cig and arm rest cubbies.
This is my first time sewing other than making some pillow cases with my mom, but i wanted to venture into this, as i may be making some concept interior mockups for upcoming school studio courses; bought a cheap Singer machine set up for light upholstery work.
Also ordered some cool specialized plates... something otaku-ish, but ill save that for when they arrive
Love the modified tails and the meatball, I swear you read my mind haha. I'd planned on doing similar projects for my NB. I can't wait to see how your interior turns out.

Love the car
After tons of screw ups, i came up with this. still needs some aluminum trim rings from RyokuRob to finish it off.
Also, thinking of getting a set of NA seats, and a set of these Nakamae covers.
-Which would mean i would be selling my JK Composite seats, anyone insterested? PM me
im still unsure though

She's Still Alive
So, its been a while- Lots of things have happened
Jk seats have arrived, i was going to sell them for some Nakamae covers until i sat in them- They seat up amazingly! I love the feel and look!
Working on some rails to mount them- Simple floor mounts with multi-hole position changing.
-You will also notice some interior touch ups, i lathed a new shift knob from 6061, added a MiataRoadster shift extender- topped off with a zeromotive wooden ebrake handle
Finishing up my center console cover with some trim rings cut from 6061 (Thanks to ryokurob)- I finished them by rounding the edges and a polish
Also added Ryokurobs suspension node tow hook kit
You'll see i acquired a specialty plate, look it up if you want to know what it means
And then...
I got rear ended again... Some jeep plowed into the back of me while i was stopped at a pedestrian crossing...
Destroyed the trunk, and the rear bumper- It wasnt horrible, no frame damage... so i got lucky
So those will be replaced very soon-
The blessing is that i am replacing the oem trunk with an Autokenexion Ver 2- Since ive been wanting a little bit' more aggression in the rear.
I will also be cutting the new bumper the way my first cut was made (before the FIRST rear end incident- forcing me to make the large square cut)
Stay tuned
I like this build. This car is just smooth.
Keep it up man.
So far so good man, nice to see progression, liking everything much better as of recent, that hood tow hook though, not sold but do your thing mang.
That center console is dope! How much would you sell me one?
Tutorials
