Got my number magnet from Trackdecals and got it slapped on the car. I think it looks rather spiffing :D

That does look good. It seems the local trend is for the numbers to be cut out, but I like the look of them on a circle. I’d probably go for the traditional black on white. What did yours cost?

Those yellow fogs are fantastic

Thanks! It was $36 for a grey-on-black 15" roundel from TrackDecals

Definitely overdue. The car could use some color, lol

Hmm. There is a local (I think) firm that is a bit more expensive and doesn’t offer the roundel look, so as much as I would like to see local firms supported, I would probably have to look into TrackDecals.

I love those wheels! NC wheels iirc right? Look great but are a tad on the heavy side (as far as stock Miata wheels go).

All around though - a dang spiffy car!

Thanks! Stock NB Special Edition wheels, actually. Yeah, they’re insanely heavy but some of the best looking stock wheels I’ve ever seen.

Oooh, that looks clean with the numbers! Consider me jealous!

Also, damnit, I need yellow fogs because they really look good. Especially SC heating up combined with the humidity creating fog during my early-morning commutes through the countryside.

The yellow fogs were sorely needed. Damn car needs more color ;_;

Paint the LS Mesh wheels bronze or gold?

If the local parts/Spec Miata-prepping shop picks a wrecked ‘99 10AE that I’ve seen appear on the local Copart, then I’m going to kickstart my parts-gathering to convert mine to the black-n-blue interior. I want some color on the inside of my car and tan is getting old. It’s going to look interesting when combined with the silver interior trim and the wooden furniture set.

Wooden furniture set?

Yes. Gold wheels have been pitched around in my head for a while.

The wooden Nardi collection: shift knob (5-speed variant rare), parking brake grip (not rare but pricey), and steering wheel (‘00-’01 SE only; each year is a different style).

you have the wood OEM wheel? :o

Bought it from a ‘01 SE owner who was converting his into a drift car. Sadly, the ‘01 SE wood grain is a light more of a golden hue compared to the dark mahogany of the knob and grip. I’ve seen some European NB2s come with darker wood wheels so that might be the eventuality for mine.

sooo damn jealous. Didn’t they have a d-shaped alcantara wheel in the NB at one point too?
