Looks nice, almost the twin to my car (minus the interior/wing). Man I love black Miatas, it is the best colour you know.

Also try pulling up the light covers gently to line them up with the hood. Seems as though my ocd is acting up again.

ps. Ignore my Canadian spelling of colour.

Looks great! Black and tan is one of my favorite color combos, and I'd love to add one to the stable. While I agree that Black is one of the best looking colors, it's not just a color, it's a career. You spend ALL day washing, polishing, and waxing your car, and as you go inside to get your camera (to prove it was clean once) some kid rides his bike down the street and your car is dirty again.

My wife's last car was a Black MPV. I'm so glad I don't have to keep that thing clean anymore...

Yeah the black is a lot of work especially when you have a couple of cats around that act stupid and want to get on it all the time with muddy foot prints.

I wish footprints were the worst of my cat problems. One of mine has cerebral hypoplasia (spastic cat) and along with NO balance, he can't retract his claws. Everytime he jumps on my car and scrambles about he leaves new scratches for me to try to buff out.

ouch, yeah, i worry and little about them messing up the soft top to, but my cats are pretty good about not clawing things for the most part, just afraid they will get get on it to get away from something and said something will tear it up trying to get to the cat.

Also, I love this forum, very friendly and some very knowledgeable people, I know quite a lot about GM cars and trucks, but Mazda's I am still learning, My experience on working on Mazda stuff is limited to a Ford probe gt, 2.5l 5 spd car and I didn't do a whole lot on that for my buddy other then small things.
