The black NA is one of the reasons I bought a Miata. That car is really rad and it was built in the early 2000s before it was easy to get rare JDM parts. The diffuser is from a Saleen S7.

I didn't actually know about that, That is actually pretty awesome, It has been my desktop wallpaper since last year, But I didn't find any info on this build nor any owner info online, Which was kinda frustrating to me.

I believe I linked that 240z already.

As for that Miata, Jesus Christ. The wheels are perfect. Heck, everything is. I don't even mind the modified headlights, which would be kinda a questionable thing to do but, if the overall car looks great, if you choose well on the modification, it won't matter much.

What modified headlights?

Try this. Owner is Chris Lee, who is also big into custom 1:18 scale cars. http://www.superstreetonline.com/features/1307-1995-mazda-miata-na6ce/

It has little eyelids taped on.

I cant even make them out on this computer

Yeah, they are pretty subtle.

I remember that black NA froma feature in... Super Street? I think. It was everywhere back then. It still looks absolutely bad-ass.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Yeah, they are pretty subtle.

Just my personal opinion but headlamp brows like that are automatic full retard. They're the cheapest, most pointless way of making your car look worse, and terrible in so many ways for so many reasons. If someone tried to patent terrible car mods, the abstract would describe headlamp brows.

Other opinions may differ

It was in SS. Still looks like that! I saw it last year in person.

That body kit is simply appalling.

The wheels and stance are perfect. I have no clue what they were going for with the front and rear.

The front is almost an improvement,

 

[el fayce]

It looks even better with a blacked out grille

 

[Adamgp]

Love the hood scoops, but little else.

 

[ImaRobot]

Change that front and hood and I'd love it.

 

[Legro]

It looks better with the black grille, of course that doesn't mean it doesn't look bloody awful anymore, but it looks better.

 

[catamount39]

Move the badge back onto the grill and make that chrome strip black along with the entire front mesh and MUCH WANT.

 

[ImaRobot]

It reminds me of this

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

That grill is just plain appalling. Yeah, I'm going to say I don't like it.

 

[R5]

Change that front and hood and I'd love it.

Stock front, massive improvement

That Mercedes Benz E55 AMG is wicked cool! The wheels, the stance, the carbon fiber, everything is perfect about this Benz.

Its hard to go wrong with such a car!

I had an MX-6 V6 at one point, and I've been contemplating on getting another one and do exactly this. This looks amazing. This platform would have been great as RWD, but with the Miata and Rx7, there probably wasnt a need between those two.

I'm going to start browsing the classifieds for one

 

[TexRex]

Ugh...

The MX6 is tolerable (at least from the angle shown, but there are hints of unpleasantness that would be revealed from another perspective) but the Crown Vic is absurd and the Galant is absolutely assinine. The image between those two isn't showing up for me but I'll count myself lucky given the prevalence of "stance" therein.

 

[R5]

Is it just me or does the MX6 driver look odd.

Apart from the stretched tires, I think its fine. Everything else seems to be in functioning order. Not to low, not much camber and OEM exterior modifications(minus that front lip)

Is it just me or does the MX6 driver look odd.

its cus hes leaning like a cholo, I think.

 

[Sage Ages]

The Mazda is fine. Everything else is awful.

Because his hat/cap or forehead is blending with the reflection of the side window
P.s:The crown Vic is bagged if that's going to make it any better
