ShadeTree86s 1999 Mazda Miata  

A Reliable Custom, Daily Driver!

 

I'm her 2nd owner, she was Stock when I bought her
I've made 85 Moderate Modifications in the Five years I've had her

She has 3 Fabricated One of a Kind, Custom Mods

 

Exterior

Open Two Seater

'99 OEM "Black" Tonneau Cover option

One of my favorite additions for Betty

Here are the OEM Tonneau options for the '99-'00 Miata 

The Tan is meant to match the Tan Interior I guess

Great for cool Spring and Autumn Commuting or long highway drives by myself

I think the Black one is a much better match for my Black car

Hard Top

I drove to Delaware to pickup the Hard Top. It had never been used.

It adds a completely different driving experience in handling and comfort.

This next Mod is Custom, One of a Kind

I sculpted OEM Small Side Sills to fit with OEM Front Mud Guards 

Mazda clearly states that they are incompatable 

This first picture was before the Mod
