    Looks better than rust. Great job.

    whats up w/ the orange peel?
    it looks like rhino-lining.

    on a side note, I think you should trade up rims with your two rides for a little bit
    Id love to see those 15s on the pro.

    I tried so hard to find a set of those 15" 5 spokes. Settled for the 14's

      The "orange peel" is Mazda's rust protectant - it's on every '90-'97 Miata.

      I had my first set of the 15" wheels in my basement for a while after I bought the 2nd, not bent set. I sold the first set to one of my brother's friends for use on his 323 and they look great. 16"s on the Miata is too big IMO, and I really like them on the Protege. Still have my set of 14" wheels from my Miata in the basement for use in the snow, if necessary.

                That looks much better than a CV top.

                    2 tone FTW. I wish I could use my other Titanium top though cause it's the correct color gray, the one on the car now is too blue. Can't argue with free...

                        Well the one I'm using I got for free at the dealership. It had screwed up allen bolts on the right front latch, but they came out easily, so I was able to get new bolts and use it. The other one I got from the dealership for $200(it was sitting in the parts dept forever but they wouldn't let me have it for free, so I just asked if they would sell it for $200 and sure enough the greed got to them) has 3 broken off bolts on the right front latch mount. My dad has the tools to get the bolts out but he just hasn't done it yet.

                          looks good man.

                          like suggested before i think the rims need too be switched around. pro on the miata and miata on the pro. i think it will look perfect then

                            Not gonna do it. I am thinking of repainting the 15"s though...they have some stains and the factory paint has a rough finish that sucks to keep clean.

                                Haven't decided...I like silver wheels so it might just be the same color. What color(s) would you suggest?
