Minneapolis is known as the city of lakes. We have over 26 lakes within the city limits. This lake is 2 blocks from my house and connects to over 25 miles of running and biking paths.
Minnesota has a front license plate law, but I didn't want to block the intercooler so I left it off. So far, no tickets.
When I installed the turbo, I powdercoated the intake and cam cover red to match the intercooler. Pictures of the powdercoated engine bay can be found on Page 3
The fall leaves provide a nice contrast for the color of this car 
The IL Motorsports chrome sidemarkers are a bit pricey, but I like the way the look with the car. They also offer a nice contrast with the 17" SSR Comps
I removed the stock rear badges and replaced them with a MX-5 badge I ordered from the UK and a 1.8T badge purchased on Ebay. I have to admit I stole the 1.8T idea from a Miata forum member, but I sure like the way it looks.
