Quick question... what's the difference between these framerails and the ones from Flyin Miatas? (which are twice as much)
http://www.bossfrog.biz/Miata_Performance.htmlJust comparing the framerails, not the butterfly brace.

what bjones said. i'd say bragging rights too
flyin miata had 2 versions of the same rails - one was just slightly lighter than the other. otherwise, frame rails are a much of a muchness.

Boss Frog Frame Rails are powder coated steel.
FM Frame Rails are stainless steel.
Given the location of the frame rails (ie. very prone to scaping), I opted for FM Frame Rails, I figure they'll still be in good condition in a few years time - not sure you could say that about the Boss Frog Frame Rails.

I just fitted the FM Framerails, and the Butterfly brace upgrade.... Wow easily best mod yet!! The car feels the way I always imagined it should.
Fitment was great (though my rails were pretty FUBAR'd) with gentle application of the hydraulic jack they were on... and they ain't ever coming off
