Love those Vary lips for the NB. Here's some inspiration until you get yours fitted.

Nocie. I also bought one from JDMyard earlier this year and fitted it to my NA. I used ramps to fit mine, the problem was after fitting the nose scrapped on the ramps when backing down.

I clamped the lip to the nose, then used the holes in the lip as the template for drilling the holes into the nose. I did a trial fit first. The actual fit took about 30min.

Good luck.

Juffa's got a good suggestion tho. The Vary lip doesn't *quite* follow the contours of the oem bumper, so get some clamps and lock the spoiler in place nice and tight before you drill. Tape etc won't quite hold it exactly in place because of the slight mismatch in shape.

Do you need to go sideways on almost every speedhump/driveway with the GV lip fitted?

That's one of the things holding me back from purchasing one... The large void under the front bar helps my MX5 get over EVERY speed hump I've encountered.

Strangely enough I never really had any issues with the GV lip on my car. Got over speed humps, driveways, parking ramps no problem.

The reason I ended up selling mine was that it kept scrapping. When first insalled I plowed the shared grass laneway that leads from my garage to the street. I had to raise her to overcome this. In the end I was paranoid that I would crack it against a gutter or one of those concrete blocks that is used in carparks to stop you driving too far forward.

It actually survived my front end accident earlier this year, without a mark.

cool i actually read that not to long ago on miata.net, so sounds like the way to go about it.
