If you don't have fabrication skills you're SOL unless you take it to a shop. What car are we talking here? (that you want to get the bumpers from).

What car is the bumper coming off of. If you had fabrication skills you'd know exactly what to do... No use in sectioning it unless you want it to look like ass... there is an easier way.

There are pleny of kits for the Miata that I've never seen in person, you have lots of chances to be the only one with some rare kit, you just have to ship it here. It'd still end up being cheaper too.

What he said.

I say just get the Garage Vary front lip and be done with it. It looks sweet and doesn't disrupt the flow of the car, like many kits do. Anyways, you have a Miata, dan't waste it by turning it into a show car, its too good of a car for that. Leave the crazy bodykits to the Hondas.

I'm just hoping he's not trying to kit the car, i.e. BMW Z3.

Like I said, you don't need anything more than this:

You can get any of Garage Vary's stuff through R-Speed. Its gonna cost you though.

If you absolutely have to have a bodykit for your Miata, I like PitCrew's stuff a lot better than Garage Vary's. Again, www.rspeed.net (http://www.rspeed.net) is just about the only place you can get Miata bodykits.

If you want a Supra clone, though, you might be better off destroying a Civic Del Sol.
