Sup, /diy/nosaurs! First time posting here, but apparantly /b/ knows nothing about cars.

The Agera Doors

The Koenigsegg Agera R is the only car I know of that uses doors quite like that. I guess theyre like Rotating doors?

These are the lambodoors. I'm pretty sure you've seen them. Theyre also on a Miata. Not sure what year that body kit is for though.

OP surely you know that /o/ exists, right? I know my way around construction and microelectronics but I don't know shit about things that go vroom. /o/ has a higher concentration of people with that knowledge (though of course there's some here too, your threadll just move a whole lot slower)

Alsa Mirrachrome. Look it up.

It wont be cheap, the equipment to spray it wont even be cheap. The practice and experience you will need to learn to spray it effectively sure as hell wont be cheap if you do it yourself. Paying some shop that has done it in the past will be only slightly cheaper. You dont see a lot of vehicles with chromed out paint jobs. Now you know why.

Also makes a few other interesting paints but the coolest "paint" effect I have seen in the last year has got to be el-wire paint, cant wait for that patent to get raped so I can pick some up.

>> No.621122

This is a troll, right? You didn't mention ONE modification that actually improves the performance of the car. All you need to do to make it the sexiest miata ever is swap a LSx into it.

– The only acceptable kit for the Miata is the Racing Beat type II. Widebody kits are for V8 cars that legitimately need bigger tires and brakes.

Go buy a Celica or something that isn't actually a sportscar to ruin.

Behold, the pinnacle of Miata visual customization.

6UL wheels, great tires, hardtop, RB type II nose, big brakes, signal intakes. Everything else is for nothing but show or adds weight. The miata is a car that impresses you while you drive it. It is not a car you drive to impress others.

The only exception is an LSX-powered Miata, in which case people briefly impressed as you disappear. Most people who pay for an LSX installation intentionally leave their cars looking stock for the enjoyment of trolling owners of visually impressive cars.

Luckily your 2002 doesn't need a RB type II nose or intakes, so you can spend your money on brakes and wheels instead. The best you can do on an NB is a MSM nose, but it being a 2002 will give it instantly away as not a MSM, so why bother?
