Beautiful, keep it nice and clean, don't need no body kit and crazy paint jobs on such a pure sports car IMHO.

BTW, is that your wife looking on or just a curious neighbor?

nice car. i like the 8 more though. it feels to me as a big version of a miata because both are really "momentum" cars.

Shaaaweet! Hard top is freakin badass. Was one just like that parked next to me today. Awesome looking ride IMO. Im sure it is fun as hell. Keep us up on the modding (and dont give me that "im keeping it stock" bullshit)

...and get rid of that front license plate! LOL

i got a few kits in mind and some wheels......the front plate is off already, the car shifts exactly like the 8, rides a little tighter than the stock 8 but not as tight as my car was modded.....nothing some springs, and sways wont fix....as for the mx=5 being a chick car apparently you never seen any scca or autocross events huh?.....ever drive one?....with the dsc turned off it scares me!....the basic feel of the 8 is in the miata because they share the suspension, trans, and so many other pieces so it feels like home...but now i only have 2 doors and the top comes down
