    Thumbs up Hardtop painted

    So I got around to painting the hardtop black. I got a great deal so I'm happy, let's just say it was cheaper to have them do it than try to do it myself.

    I haven't taken pics of the Miata in a while so I decided to have a little photo shoot last night. I could have used a little more light or a better camera. Maybe even a tripod that isn't 6" tall.

    With a larger tripod could you have reached the buttons on the camera???

    The car looks great!

    LOL, I sent this picture out to some people and one guy asked if I was running 255 wide tires on the back!

    This is my drag racing setup.

    Looks GREAT! I love how bronze wheels look on darker color cars. The lowering helps too!
