I like the NA one, got any more of them? The NB one looks good too, gives the rear a little more to look at rather than putting a bodykit on. Would work well if you're going for the OEM look with a front lip, I believe in simple clean looks.

How would you go about that? Aftermarket purchase? Plastic welding?

I think it looks awesome, especially with an angled big bore exhaust poking out.

This has been in my miata fap folder for ages now...

Been wondering what to do to the back of mine when it is eventually going, as I wanted to run quad pipes with the V8.

Does anyone know if those rear diffusers that were in some of the pics from the link that Cole posted are a kit from anywhere, as that would be the ulitmate, cut out rear bumpber, quad pipes with the diffuser. Not exactly subtle but.

See if Don still carries the Garage Vary (copy) rear bumper. It's pretty "extreme" ... i always found it a bit kinky to see the rear diff and lower arms through it ... ;)
