Got some 94 seats and sold my Leathers so I can recover the inserts with purple vinyl!! Exact same colour as my car!

Pretty damn close!!

Sorry man the front Miata lip went some time ago and the RSX lip went to Rekognize! http://www.mx-3.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=67046" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It's a very simple mod that looks nice! Simple as screwing it in shaving the heads of the screws then some filler overtop... then at the wheel wells you have to section the ends back about 2 inchs! And there yea go!

very nice colin, just inspired me. Also could you tell me what size most of the bolts and stuff were because i wanted to change them and get stainless steel as well and where the hell you get that pillar?!?

Thanx for the kind words! The B-pillar I made from scratch! I can't remember the complete measurments but I am sure I can find it for you, it's what they use in 95% of roll cages.
As for the bolts they are all 10mm stainless I am not sure on the diameter though I get them from work in bulk and they are thrown into a big bin... I could check next time we get more in!

is your headliner dyed, painted, or re-upholsterd? my headliner is disgusting. my bmx tires made so many black tire marks all over it from putting it in and out everyday last summer.

Thanx Solo!
Matt: I painted the headliner with that black fabric srpay stuff you can get from canadian tire! Works very well, and does not flake off! Took me a total of about an hour to take it out and spray it and put it back in! Right now I am trying to do my visors in the purple vinyl.... it is posing to be MUCH harder then I thought it would be!! :crying:
I will have pics of the top part of the rear seats on Sunday!! There finally almost done!

10mm you say what if I was to just take a bolt and go to home depot then? Think that would probably help?

Got the back portion of the seat done! THANX MOM!! Not bad for free!

I used the original insert so the vinyl would have some pading on the back.
Still needs some minor stretching to get it just right.

I love the 94 seats way better then the 92-93 version!

Should have pics of the bottom portion in tonight! Along with the visors! :welder:

MY MOM IS AWSOME! :love2:
