So I have been working on a few items on the Miata over the past few weeks. I recovered the seats with custom replacement leather covers, added a new shift knob, sound deadened the doors, and modified the fuel rail covers...

Back in progress - my hands were sore after this work - lots of pulling, tugging and clamping. |

I have ordered a replacement leather boot in Tan that I will install when it arrives. This is a Karcepts Stainless shift knob that I got as a scratch and dent for $35 and I painted it satin black - I t just didn't fit the scheme being polished Stainless. This knob weighs in at 1.34 pounds and makes the Pro 5.0 shifter move through the gears like butter. |

I modified the fuel rail covers - I like the look, but they hold a lot of heat, so I added ventilation. |
