The
question was asked with all these mods under the skin what is going to happen
on the outside?
Actually
I have had many sleepless nights pondering that very question. For
some reason I keep going back to the first car that I transformed as much as
the Miata. It
was a 1965 Mustang fastback that was red with white Shelby stripes. I
loved that car!
So
my current thought is a tip of the hat to my old Mustang by going black with
gold Shelby stripes, wheels that are not too modern and not too huge and
subtle but functional vents and splitter.
My
favorite Miata that captures what I have in mind is this one:
Picture
that black with gold stripes and nickel or gold wheels like
so:
I
will need to run some sort of hood vent and right now my top choice is a
factory GT500 Mustang vent. Partly because it functions so well for
drawing air through the radiator and partly because it is another Mustang part.
Now
since this car is built for the track I’d love to have functional wing, flairs
and proper splitter on it.
But
there are 2 problems with that. First there are WAY too many riced up
junky 4 door Accords with them that are not even capable of going fast
enough to need down force, (not that the owners or anyone else has a clue what
they are for anyway) and second… OK actually there only one problem with it.
:-)
I
am for sure open to ideas. The only thing I know for sure is the base
color will be black and it will have 2 stripes from bumper to bumper. What
do you think?
