I've been struggling a little to find love for the old girl.. Just lack of funds and hit a hurdle needing to do 2-3 expensive things all at once I suppose...
Lastly - unfortunately proven to be a photoshop...

^@the white one; hood risers make baby Jesus cry.
Probably won't go as extreme as some of these but I like the ideas behind them.

Agreed, what are they? Design looks like Rota RKRs. I know they're not minilites. 16's as well?

Jonathan DeHate's Miata makes me so happy in so many ways.
Such a clean and sleek example.

Spruce Green Mica is amazing. Its crazy that Toyota puts a paint like that on RAV4's and Camrys.

Exactly - this standard simplicity is awesome. Im in love with the fitment - he pulls 16s off so well. I also really love the lack of passenger wing mirror, but dont ask why because i dont know.
I dont know, i just feel that the way he has modded this makes the vehicle look so much newer than early 90s.
My favourite Miata so far.

that car doesn't know what it's doing. super retro front/lights crossed with hideous stancemobile. where are the vents on the sides of the hardtop supposed to be going?
i'm sure it's someone's pride and joy, not quite to my tastes tho :p

Haha! the pit crew is such a room separator!
I personally really really like the attention to detail on that one.
The air scoops are also cool. Each to their own!
i feel that Mad Mike's ROOFLS is going to inspire many-a-newbies in the car scene!!
