If it’s not a urethane or a flexible plastic, it would be Easy as hell to paint. You could even spray paint with a pistol grip can-trigger and get good results. ---

No flares. If are going to be running wide track dedicated tires/wheels there is no requirement for the width of the tires/wheels extending past the fender outline (open lapping). At this point it would be purely a cosmetic mod. Now if you are running a wide wheel on the street and want to abide by traffic laws that is a different thing. ---

#2 is ugly as hell. Why not just buy a real wide body kit? I’d imagine it’s not as expensive as it is for the S2000. The bolt on fender flares look so poor. ---

Thats what I like about them. and to anyone mentioning this is a cosmetic mod, I am rather aware of that. Would be doing it because I like the way it looks. ---

boost before all. unless you are competing, throwing mods at a car to lower lap times on a track is silly. power you can use every day on the street. all those flares look too tacked on. does anyone make a full fender for the miata front at least that is wider and at least something for the rear that flows with the body lines?
