What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

I miss my 99 Miata with a MP62 blower it really scooted and was a total hoot to drive....like an adult go kart. Keeping it just wasn't in the cards and once I got married we didn't have storage for 3 cars and it was getting driven less and less. When my mid life crisis comes I can see a car of similar traits returning.....or a mini van.....:happy:

I have a miata too.. It's NC but I keep thinking about selling it.. but I gotta feeling I'm gon regret it later.
 
Still kinda can't believe I did it... Traded my first new car, a Subaru STi, in on a new 2016 TEP in Nautical Blue. Boy, we aren't driving a sports car anymore! :decision: Kept my 1999 Miata as the lone sports car, as I was driving it far more anyway. Now I have a boatload more space, can go off-road, and won't have to worry about getting out of my neighborhood when we get a big snowstorm. Looking forward to adventures of a different kind now.

CONGRATS!! You'll have WAYYYYYY more fun in your T4R. :)
 
Looks like fewer threads. Any chance you can do a side by side pic when you replace it?

It's been replaced, as you can see in the original photo.
But, I compared both along with the senior tech that installed it (not one of the oil change minions), kept the OEM cap for any unforeseen issue.
So, the cap is a exact match with the exception of the location pointer thingy & filter tube that was replaced from the OEM cap.

[MENTION=145904]HELOTESTXTRD[/MENTION] 3M 8040 Matte black or possibly satin black. It reduces the glare, but not eliminate. Still much better and better looking. i used Plasti dip for the fender flares. I shopped around and got it done for $50 (he had scrap piece) The cutting "tape" was worth not having to use a knife to cut it. Do not recommend doing yourself for that reason alone. Otherwise, the micro air channels to get rid of bubbles makes it really easy to use.

Thanks for the quick response. I've only had mine a few weeks and have only added window tint.

went with a few of members recommendations on hood visors and picked up the AVS bugflector II. fit perfect, nice quality and installed less than 5min. the box it came in was wack, though. the top third was nearly tore off, held together with tape. had the UPS dood wait while I ripped the rest open and check on what I bought. luckily the visor was still wrapped fresh and all bolts and washers present. he offered to make a note for the shipper about the shipping package condition for me. product #25053, here's a pic:
