You take more pictures of cars in Forza than you do of your own car

In for Miata video!

Picked up a new trunk today.. this would be my fourth.. haha.

OEM w/Track spoiler -> OEM w/KSL lip spoiler -> SEIBON CF trunk and now this VIS CF trunk paint matched



I like it.. kinda weird after seeing a CF trunk on there for so long.

I love the rear end but I think you need something in the top center of the trunk. Not sure how good the OEM logo looked

Haha!! Thats exactly what my friend said after he helped me install it.. I'll probably order a new rear badge and see how it looks and how I like it.. worth a try.

but then I get the feeling the issue isn't the missing badge but the wrong tail lights...

I've been looking around for cars with the wing badge on this trunk and it looks a bit off

but maybe with the 2013 tails...

My apologies for reviving this thread but my buddy has one and its awesome. Best sounding exhaust I have ever head on a 6 cylinder. Wish my tl sounded that good. I would still rather have my TL. Or a genesis sedan with the 5.0

It unfortunately does. It's the only exhaust system for that car that sounds like that. Most likely because it uses a dual helmholtz resonator setup.

Nameless Performance. It sounds even better in person haha. It just isn't a dual exhaust setup its still technically single exhaust like the factory setup.

small update.... heh... had these wheels mounted couple weeks ago.. VarrsToen ES8.. got them fully polished and then clear coated them to minimize the amount of maintenance i needed to do for them since polishing would make them raw... replaced their chrome rivets out for universal gold ones.

and since my last post.. went back to my OEM hood for that extra bit of clean... and miles on ODO... just a hair above 38,000
