Interior
Boss Frog Rollbar(Spring 2006) Had a local shop install clear-view rollbar.
Other double diag. bars block the view from rearview mirror. This bar seems to do a better job with bar spacing. BTW...love my new lic. plate.
"Tan-ectomy"...going from tan to black
I bought some used black carpeting. The pieces in the set were correct, just cheap + not what I expected. I removed the tan carpeting + installed the black carpet. Lost some padding, probably a few pounds, but wish I had original black carpet...that would be sweet.
Also...sold my leather seats + HR speakers for a pair of black cloth seats...love these babies!
My family is awesome!!! Xmas 06...they bought me a Corbeau racing seat + Willians 4-point racing harness. Very awesometastic!!!
Bought a used black dash...then I heard how difficult it is to swap. I should of taken my own advise + researched the process. I do this sometimes...I make goofy mistakes + do not think things thru. So...I heard about painting a dash. It didnt turn out great, but good. Lots of prep taping(I took my time + did it right), and used Krylon Fusion plastic spray paint from my local Walmart. Like I said...good, not great...I notice it, but others dont until I show them. So far...so good.
Winter (2008) Bought a pair of black interior door panels...will install before spring.
Summer (2008) Installed door panels w/o any problems. The panels were used from a Miata.netter and a screw-gun made the install a breeze. The only problem is that the back of the arm-rest is not connected to the door. The top and middle fastners are secure, but not the rear. Looks fine, but when the back of the arm-rest is pulled on...it separates alittle from panel.
