Re: C-S Silver NB8A
People who are interested to install a GT wing, make sure you leave adequate room for the antenna!

Re: C-S Silver NB8A
Dip them. Easy shape to spray, hard shape to wrap.
I dipped my wing mirrors. The only thing I'd suggest is, if using a bright colour like orange, make sure to undercoat with a coat or two of white dip first.

Re: C-S Silver NB8A
I wouldn't do either
A painted stock mirror to me just says "I can't be bothered matching the paint so I chose black"
I really think a pair of aftermarket carbon mirrors would work well with the spoiler.
Motorcycle mirrors are available relatively cheaply, but you'll need to make up your own base for them to fit.
Craftsquare do a nice looking mirror, but they're really expensive.

PureMX5 (rxmx) does sell a similar set of mirrors if that helps

Re: C-S Silver NB8A
Colour combo looks good, does look similar to a GT3 RS haha. Any reason why you chose to buy King Springs over coil overs if you want to join in track days?

Thank you for your advice. it's not easy to wrap. I won't paint it in orange, my car will look like a rental car..

I agree with you, carbon mirror or motorcycle mirror quite nice. The only downside is it's not auto adjustable. This is not very convenience although I am not a driver who will adjust side mirror when doing parking.

Very good question! I did consider coilovers, there is only 1 reason i picked king spring at the end.
1) I won't take the car for track day until sometime next year ( i do concern about the look because i am a designer, i don't want to drive a tank! haha). also i don't think will do more than 2-3 times track day a year. So just lowered the car first and after 2 or 3 track days then will see how it goes....i've never done track day before and really have no idea do I need a coilovers... My experience is only 'go-karting'..i like it a lot:)

Ahh fair enough, they make the car feel like its on rails. I race in the SEK karting series and the way I have set my MX5 up feels very similar to driving my kart
