Wow. I am awed by the fabrication talent of the man who built that.

Makes me wonder, why cap off such a beautiful job with such a goofy looking hood scoop?

Not always, sometimes the answer is E30 or P71!

Yeah, nice install it appears, but I could do without the flames! Some Miatas definitely lead different lives!

Yeah the hoods got to go. It looks like a piece of downspout or gutter.

Might not look too bad if it were moulded in and painted; as it sits it looks like it's just kinda glued on there.

That's the second owner of the car with that engine. I think he's posted here since buying it, actually. He did the hood and the flames, it was just barely finished when he bought it.

So he realizes he screwed up the front and now wants out? Hmmm... What else is wrong with it I wonder.

Ran out of money perhaps?

There's a lot of that going around. I haven't touched the Alfa in about three months.
