chrome rings are from ebay. they're the bevelled kind and i really wanted the rounded kind, but whatever. They're snapped in place instead of glued so if i get tired of them I can yank them out pretty quick.
I'm in NW Atlanta in the powers ferry/akers mill area. I've sent about 30 emails back and forth with Kevin about what to do. Ended in a delay because I found some cracked brackets in the drivers seat. I'm going to take them to SC where I've got a welder and try to get them back in one piece over this Jul 4 weekend, but ultimately I may dye the rears black and just get a set of microsuede corbeaus, either A4s or GTSIIs. I'd end up around the same price with the added benefit of getting rid of the loose/wobbly stockers.
I'm in the process of putting in some sound deadening, dying the carpet/headliner/seats/door cards, re-sync-ing the sunroof with the motor, and a stereo upgrade...10" sub, amp, headunit, rewire.
Where's the best place to get my hands on a new header panel/front headliner/sunroof motor cover piece? I fubar'ed mine during removal and the vinyl was peeling off of it anyway.

Great car. Where in atlanta are you? I know that Kevin Chin is in s. atlanta and he makes really great kits for our seats.

where did you get those chrome rings for the cluster?
to answer your question, if you want to avoid cutting your carpet, you will have to remove the heater core. most people cut around because removing the heater core tacks on a couple of hours to the job.Leave a comment:

consensus from searching seems to be to cut around the heater core....?Leave a comment:

in the process of pulling the carpet...., couple questions
does the hvac box have to come out to pull the carpet? how has everyone been getting the carpet around the vents and drains?
what about that steel dash support tube that runs from the tranny tunnel up to the steering column....does that have to come out?
thanks in advance..

Yeah, I'm pretty impressed with the stuff. Forgiving in application, pretty tough once dry, but still peels up easily if you get an edge started. I had to redo one piece due to the tape pulling part of it up, and it was a breeze. Also gives me a warm&fuzzy that if I get tired of the shadowline its pretty much reversible.
Got mine at home depot in the spraypaint section. Top left corner, covered in dust. Doesn't seem too popular.
Thanks. Gauge cluster was a little less fun than the rest of the stuff. Silly cosmetic work with delicate parts...
Yeah, they were pretty nasty. I think its running way better, but that's probably placebo from me trying to justify a $70 distributor cap.
Yeah, this thing is fun. Sounds like its time for some FI on the miata :evil:Leave a comment:

Very nice. I recently installed my ground controls and konis on the Miata and its a blast, but I do miss that straight six.Leave a comment:

Good to see it getting attention. Where can one get this plasti-dip?Leave a comment:

Looks great! It's nice to see a well-known forum car get the spa-treatment from a dedicated new owner.
Isn't Plasti-Dip shadowline the shit??? I just did mine a few months ago, and it looks amazing.Leave a comment:

on the to-do list is a seat bracket repair for the driver's seat, some kind of recover or interior replacement, A/C fix, and possibly some 35% tint.Leave a comment:
