new 99 miata owner

well I have wanted a miata for about 6 years but everyone keeps telling me I am to small.

well I had a 2003 civic with 106k miles I just sold and it had really nice rims I removed.

I searched around for a bit and found a 99 miata with 62k miles loaded all it needs is a new top.( help recommend a top and tell me a cheap installer locally)

I ended up paying 6200 from a guy who had 2 identical miatas and sold the one with higher mileage.. heres the pics

I went from this

to this

and about 5 minutes after I got it home this

215/45/17 tenzo rs5 wheels with kumho tires

Welcome aboard!

As far as a new top, you can DIY. There are instructions on miata.net somewhere. If you don't want to DIY, check with Stevan (Rogue) at MiataSolutions.com

looks like a good deal man! I would think if you ordered a robins soft top and got a few mechanically inclined people together you would be able to knock it out in a few hours. I have swapped in a new top that was already installed on a frame and it was super easy but not too sure how hard it is to put a new top on a frame.

I was thinking a robbins top but do I want canvas or viynl?

I want a 1 piece glass window for sure with defrost

and a new rain rail

not sure which one will last longer but i have always enjoyed the canvas top. makes the car look and feel like a more expensive car.
