    Snapped a couple more shots before class. Scrubbed all the way here. I need a slight pull on the back.

    Maglite flashlight will fix the lip on the wheel wells...lol How do you think I fixed my problems ay my height? Oh and you'll probably want to trim/remove the inner fender liners on the front as they'll make all kinds of noise when they meet the tires.

    Those wheels don't look bad at all....I was under the impression you were going to get those fugly 0-offset ones that everyone and their brother has.

    I like the 205 50s. :-) I dig the fat tire look.

    What do you take me for? :-)

    I'm happy with them. And like momma said, everything in moderation.

    I just wanna get the runs out of the current paint on the top... I too want it to be white but I want it to match.

    I guess I could get the oem color mixed just as easily as I could get black. Hmmm...

    Thanks, everyone.

    That guy... His car is so low that when I went to open his hood, my toes in flippy floppies hit his GV lip. haha. Brother is the guy that used to own that white miata on DR 13's that was stanced like :wow:.

    That's on a Sunday? But I doubt it. It isn't much to look at atm and that's a long drive for me. I would like to meet some more Miata fellas out there in the world though. haha


    EDIT: That's a Monday which means a definite no go. I have school from 9am-6pm, then work from 7pm to whenever. Busy day for me.

    Also, It looks like I'm doing a BP-4W Swap. So, we'll be rockin' the VICS together, man. haha. I'm picking up a motor from someone else's totalled 2000. The other fella with the BP backed out on his motor and has decided to finish his build.

    So, I'm prepping for the swap. It seems pretty easy. Plus, the motor I'm getting is in great condition. Female owned 88k. $750 is the price. Not bad imo.

    It will be a couple months before it goes in probably. So, ill let you know then. Ill probably have tons of help. But if I'm short I'm about 2 hours away. 1 1/2 if you're lucky with traffic.

    ^^that's what I'm thinking so far. I've never been a fan of aftermarket bumpers but I like the RB for some reason.

    RB-II ......Had it. Loved it. It takes away the "cute" look of the front bumper and adds just enough aggression but not too much to look obvious or ricetastic.

    Pardon the maaaad tyte t!lt...but it was cool back in 2003 when this was taken.

    I reallllly appreciate it. Gives me a wonderful idea of what I would be looking at. And it looks quite nice to me.

    I was even planning on ditching the black accent on the bottom.
