Looks better... now to the sideskirts. I can't believe the wheels were 47.5lbs a piece...maybe with tires??
Every pound over stock equates to somewhere around 7lbs in your car per corner from the rotational mass. Therefor if you were say 22lbs over stock x 4 you had an extra 616lbs in your car...meaning your Miata was about as heavy as an E30 or the likes..A little hard to believe but when you throw deuce deuce's on a Chevy, essentailly thats how much weight you are adding to look pymp tastik
