The car looks a lot less Miata like. However, it's still striking.

We’ve had a Miata with a Pitcrew nose at our local Orlando Roadsters Miata meet-ups.

So, is it Pitcrew or Pit Crew?

I told Paris that I’d grab a JDM Miata magazine off my shelf and see what I could find.

And from the same issue.

While in Japan, I saw tons of these, each clean and very well maintained. This one makes me excited to go back and find more. Who know, maybe I'll bring one back.

And those Pitcrew photos came from this magazine/book: Eunos & Mazda Roadster Dress Up & Light Tuning Guide.

I like them with flares and Watanabe wheels.  Are the headlights too low on the kit to be legal?  I know there is a minimum height requirement.
