I'll PM you next time I'm headed that way.... Headed to Palm Beach next week for a work presentation and will pass the 1,000 mile barrier....Oh yes say hello to 7,500 rpms!

If you guys head out to an autox please let me know. I am planning on going and knowing that other members we would be out there would be the motivation that I need. Fast is the group that I know best but I have yet to get out to a race ad my StarSpecs need some track time before I wear them out beating up the public roads.
If all that does not happen, wings and beer is always a fav but random food near a unused road is even better. If you want to push a Miata that sticks the keys are yours as long as I get a gentle test drive in the BRZ!

I haven't. Still debating. I wanted some Enkei Rajins, but I think they only come in 18s and I wanted to stay with 17s. Any you would recommend?

Here are two very close up shots of the paint I took yesterday. With the proper paint correction / detailing and Opti-Guard, this paint has some serious "bling"

Yeah, after seeing them in person (as you saw in the earlier picture) Its hard not to want both!

Let me know the next time you're down here so I can see the Optiguard. Only concern I have for the optiguard is what happens if (hopefully never) there is a scratch, its keyed or damage that requires a part to be replaced. Would they just Optiguard that new area/blend it in.

Car looks real good Z. Let me know when u get to 1,000.

If you had a replaced part, I think it would be very easy to Opti guard and make look blended.

I've got 600 miles on her and I'm headed to West Palm beach for a presentation Thursday morning, so I plan to open it up on the way home.
