About a half hour ago I ordered some red overlay vinyl for the tail lights. Right now I have the paint for em, but i figure i dont want to mess it up, and vinyl would be easier and easily reversible. Im not a huge fan of the clear lights. red taillights are JDM as FUCK! haha ---

The miata is used for ultimate low. so suck it! and honestly, ive seen photos of speed3’s that are slammed…and they just dont look as good as my car does at this height. I think the height its at now is almost perfect. youve seen how low my daily is… just sayin. ive never seen a slammed to piss 3 either… i may just have to look up a pic > [@Paul B](#): > > like i said, my miata is for ultimate low and scraping. that car is 16 years old and doesnt need to be taken care of haha and this right here is such a true statement. ---

Yea, but your daily isnt a 2010 and also didnt cost you $22,000. You dont have to pay for it every month and insurance isnt crazy. I could buy your car for the amount i spent this weekend on coils and a muffler. just sayin lol Compare your daily driver to my Miata. Miata is all about nofucksgiven. Could barely drive in the rain because of all the camber. no heat. no ac. Honestly, daily driving a car that low is down right stupid. Im done daily driving that thing. Thats why i bought the speed3. Dumped speed3’s with the stock wheels look terrible. The huge wheel wells just swallow up the wheels. only one ive seen looking good thats super slammed had gnarly wheel fitment. This car is not for that shit. I like the way the car is sitting and this is the height i will most likely be sticking with. ---
