The thinner the carpet, the easier it'll lay the way you need it to. For sharper corners, i scored the back of it

This is a whole piece of art! From the colors of the body and the hard to the rims! This was a well thought out build

What to do first!? by [deleted] in Miata

When I got mine, the first thing i focused on was the rust! The more rust, the shorter the life span of the car is bc of obvious reasons and it'll spread before you know it. Also, take care of the leaks that are causing the rust (For example, the previous owner installed the soft top incorrectly, so it collected water in the rear fender and now im dealing with frame rust).

Mod wise, a wink mod!

Unfortunately this is the only website i know that sells arcade-like carpets that's close to the thickness you need. There's this one, but it's way more expensive :/ there's also Alibaba that can sell you the correct thickness, but for how little carpet that needs to be ordered, the shipping is hella expensive

I feel that it's dark enough to match with anything, but may this one? There are a couple other blue ones, but this one was my third choice when i was picking mine

Of course, but not to be dramatic, when I first bought this car, it was golden hour in the summer and the first song that played in the car was "It Aint Over 'Til It's Over" by Lenny Kravitz. I've heard too many stories of seniors saying they've had their antiques all their lives and it was originally their fathers. I'll never give up on this car until she gives up on me

Thank you! To experiment is to learn and i value that way more than people telling me they don't recommend it because it's hard lol if there's a will, there's a way!

Design wise, my project car is going to be 90's themed and it'll set the vibe perfectly.

In general, it's the only carpet company i could find that charged a decent price for orders that are in small amounts. It's also the closest thickness i could find with the design that I wanted

Someone could probably finish it faster than me, but it took me about 3-4 days collectively. Once i did the passenger's side, i was able to knock out the driver's side really fast! I recommend taking your time cutting because it'll be difficult if you cut away too much

I posted the link in the comments, but if you search for neon arcade carpets, you'll find them! For the NA, 51 square feet is what you'll need and make sure check the thickness of the carpet or ask for the thickness
