How fancy do you wanna get with the paint? I ask because I'm a designer and I can't help myself.

What decals are being used/mandatory and are there mandatory colors?

The mazda sticker over the rear wheels is mandatory...and Mazdaspeed decal on front...they can be black/white/blue/whatever I think. I really like fluorescent orange for some reason..my old Spec Miata was friggin boring. You use to have to have Toyo over the front wheel wells...totally open on car color itself.

I like the orange, plus people will see you easily on the track.

I always wonder how fellow track junkies can move to a Miata after driving higher powered cars. I understand the challenge, but I just don't see myself having fun doing it for an extended period of time. But what the hell do I know.

I know lots of people that have both. Its just different driving. I can go way faster in most corners in the Spec Miata. On the straights I can take a nap though.

I haven't driven one, but I bet they are a blast on club courses.

Got it. I'll have some time next week to make a little mock up and maybe you'll like it. It's fun for me no matter what.
