I'll freely admit that I dig the stance aesthetic. I have no desire to do it to a car of mine, but I like looking at it. That car looks fantastic.

+1. I'll look at it all day, but i would duplicate the car save for some proper offset wheels and some 225/45-15 meats.

Agreed, 100%.

I love that front-end, droopy and all. Were it mine, I'd go for the whole-hog "vintage" look, with steel wheels and smaller/more delicate looking mirrors. Probably in BRG, or maybe Gulf blue.

^Yep that's the Pit Crew, also seems to have some Garage Vary rear lights/panel going on.

It's all the cool vintage-style stuff that made me want to get an NA. That didn't work out so well.

I'd probably go more "vintage-resto-rod" look with it, but i love the front end as well.

Consider the Porsche 356 mirrors, I think they look great on a NA:

MEV's new MEVX5

And

And finaly

I'd be worried that it might not be legal. Headlights are required to be a certain minimum distance from the ground. Those are really low and might not qualify.

Depends on the state, but maybe. I don't think they're much lower than the lights on my MX6, actually.

The only one I remember is CA, which requires 22" from ground to the center of the headlight. I have no idea what RI is--too old to roll that low these days.

Pit Crew at the Dragon!!! (I KNEW i should have gone to Miatas at the Gap.)

I love the Blue Potato, one of my favorite Pitcrew conversions.
