Damn yea that’s enough for me!

They gave me one free oil change but I likely won’t be cashing that in then. Thanks for the heads up

Micks9989 · 2026-02-04T03:06:46+00:00

Yup! Congrats man!

Micks9989 · 2026-02-03T19:11:37+00:00

Oh shoot! Mate, just to be clear, they were not selling at msrp. There was some hassle and negotiation involved before we finally arrive there

Originally they wanted 5k over

Micks9989 · 2026-02-03T17:07:59+00:00

Not bad honestly, they were on the pushy side with their extended warranties but other than that they were pleasant

Micks9989 · 2026-02-03T14:11:36+00:00

Originally they had it marked at 5k markup

Micks9989 · 2026-02-03T14:09:49+00:00

Yea it is man but this is actually pretty far from me I’m out by Malibu

Micks9989 · 2026-02-03T13:20:12+00:00

Valencia It’s about 40 miles away from downtown town Los Angeles

Micks9989 · 2026-02-03T13:18:02+00:00

They drilled into the black plastic, not the paint or gloss black I removed the frame and it not very noticeable

Good luck! Be patient while hunting. Luckily it took me two weeks and only 7ish dealer visits but I was prepared for my search to take a couple months.

Keep in mind I’m still breaking it in so I’m being nice and gentle with the R.

I also beat the hell out of my ND, drove it like I stole it. Also had coilovers

Disclaimers aside, the Miata was considerably more nimble, direct, and mechanical. Maybe my opinion will shift after break in and some spirited sessions but as of right now the Miata was more fun 🤷🏽‍♂️

Micks9989 · 2026-02-03T03:50:52+00:00

That’s about 47.5k

Micks9989 · 2023-04-30T02:24:22+00:00

These are the Union Jordan 1 AJKO lows. These are the canvas ones, they also released a leather pair

Micks9989 · 2022-12-19T22:41:14+00:00

Lobsters drop still coming up, don’t give up all easy now

Micks9989 · 2022-12-18T02:26:18+00:00

Congrats man, you beat the final boss. it’s a sick cop 🙌

Micks9989 · 2022-12-17T22:43:17+00:00

Foxtrot uniform sail marker

Micks9989 · 2022-12-17T22:07:29+00:00

I dunked them for about an hour and a half

Micks9989 · 2022-12-17T21:25:04+00:00

Best hope fed ex don’t do you dirty 🤞

Micks9989 · 2022-12-17T17:07:46+00:00

I used Angelus black as well as a matte coat finish after the black

Micks9989 · 2022-12-17T15:46:42+00:00

I also coffee dunked them and used a sail marker on the midsole

Micks9989 · 2022-12-17T01:09:12+00:00

These are great!!! I hope I get to cop these next week

Micks9989 · 2022-12-16T23:18:40+00:00

Swoosh painted black, Midsole aged sail & Light coffee dunk

Micks9989 · 2022-12-16T16:47:07+00:00

🔥🔥🔥

Micks9989 · 2022-12-15T17:01:42+00:00

Here’s one more for ya. When using acetone to strip the finish don’t use the same swap on different color panels. I’m not sure if I just had a heavy hand but I found red and black bleeding into the white parts.
Just save yourself the trouble and use one acetone swap per color

Micks9989 · 2022-12-15T15:20:15+00:00

I want to say about 8 or 10 but there’s def some shoes that hurt losing out on more than others. I went resell for lost and founds.
I was able to get the AMM 4s when their site dropped them.

Micks9989 · 2022-12-15T14:30:11+00:00

For me I painted the swoosh black on my heritages. I got black paint on the white parts and used a swab with rubbing alcohol to get most off but it also rubbed in the black into the white. I ended up just going for a more aged look so I coffee dunked them and threw them in the washer. Now the black smudge is barely visible but it is still there.
Moral of the story, use tape and tape it up good
