    Default Widebody Miata (Make Over Edition)

    I met up with a friend of mine yesterday to grab some shots of his Miata. This car was formerly owned by Enjuku Racing and sits pretty similar to how it was when it was their drift car. The only change has been the addition of a more sensible wheel and tire set-up.

    I hope you enjoy the pics.

    Photographers: These were all natural light. I had plan to use my AB's but my Vagabond starting sparking and smoking mid-shoot. Not sure what's going on there...

    WOW!!! No bullshit stickers, towhooks, zipties, bandaids, bodydamage, or any garbage hanging off the rear of the car! This is awesome.

    Car and pics look great man. You buddy has one clean miata.

    I always thought these miatas would look better if everything was blended in and it didnt look like the widebody kit was put on with a nail gun. thats being said, id drive it, and more importantly, great pictures, man.

    I love it. Personally, I would have put a fancy stepped lip wheel on it.

    But with these wheels, I think it needs small spacers up front, big spacers in the back. pics look great!

    i think it would look better if the "widebody" was took off. it looks cheaply done.
