Yeah I saw you and Adam post in there! I haven't driven the car yet but I'm anxious to hear the difference.

Quick question...

Does anyone have a recommendation on a shop that can do quality window tint and 3M protection film for the nose and fenders? I just moved here and don't really know of any reputable shops. I heard to stay away from Custom Sounds and Mother's.

we sell the PPE ceramic coated with overpipe. Have them in stock right now

Awesome, I'll look it up - where in town are they located at?... It shouldn't be too difficult for them. It's basically the entire Redline Goods catalog for the NA Miata, except for the A-Pillars and top windsheild header. It's all cut to fit, and all they would need to do is stretch and glue it. I'd do it myself, but I'm a bit sketchy on my upholstery skills & I don't want to throw away money if I mess it up. lol

EDIT - nevermind, found them, it's off Vance Jackson, right? HA! and nearby USAA! I'm going to have to take an extended lunch break to check them out!

I plugged mine in the cabin also. Also removed the tube entirely after adding the intake.

Made some magnetic autocross numbers today. Picked a 1'x2' roll of magnetic adhesive vinyl. I cut it into two 8.5"x11" pieces (there was a spare ~7" wide piece). Then I made up some numbers in photoshop, printed them to another piece of paper, adhered it to the mag-vinyl, then cut out the numbers. Done one side so far. Takes a while, but I think it looks nice. Dunno how long it'll last, but maybe next time I'll do it out of some heartier glossy paper. Anyhow, here's some pics.
