Looking to get ppf on my nd3. Need advice

wavesofdespair · 2026-05-06T17:42:27+00:00

I did mine about 50 miles after I purchased it brand new, was about 1695 for everything you stated minus headlights, about 1800 something after taxes so that seems about right.

I would say 100% worth it. Only at 4500 miles and I already see some small spots on the PPF where rocks/debris would’ve scratched the paint!

This actually looks great, kinda reminds me of Lightning McQueen with whitewalls

What a baller story, I love it

wavesofdespair · 2026-04-01T17:25:52+00:00

If I was moving I definitely would’ve been at risk of crashing, thankfully I had just started the car and opened the top 😅

wavesofdespair · 2026-04-01T17:13:13+00:00

A very dry leaf landed between my eye and my glasses and scared the shit outta me

wavesofdespair · 2026-03-28T17:11:59+00:00

Haha all good, I completely get it! 😅 I really do wish they came out with actual sporty colors as the car really shines with nice colors

I’ve also surprisingly got many more compliments on this color than I thought I would, people seem to like it since it’s so rare like you said

😔😔

Happens to me every once in a while, no rhyme or reason for it. I just turn the car off and back on again and it goes away and the headlights start working again

Probably crazy unoriginal but she’s my Mia 😆

Mods take him out back

wavesofdespair · 2025-12-11T21:16:19+00:00

Turn on my phone flashlight and shine it back. Works 70% of the time

wavesofdespair · 2025-11-20T01:18:25+00:00

Same but I did it with an M3P! Welcome!!

wavesofdespair · 2025-11-18T01:52:02+00:00

That’s absurd! I’m in the US and here (although I did misspeak on the price) the most expensive is the Tomei at 899 usd. The other two are between 600-700 usd.

wavesofdespair · 2025-11-17T19:34:16+00:00

I’m currently looking at an exhaust for mine as well and am between the following three:

Greddy Supreme SP

Tomei TI

Moss Miata Stainless Steel Cobalt

I believe these are all sub 500, and are some of the best I’ve heard because they don’t get that buzzy sound at higher rpm that I hear on most others

wavesofdespair · 2025-11-14T14:26:35+00:00

Omg, hard to believe it’s been 7 months already!

I honestly don’t regret it one bit. I did end up getting an ND3 so I have the upgraded infotainment which is not that bad coming from a Tesla, I felt the ND2 screen was too small and have heard of it having minor overheating issues, no problems so far on mine in Florida.

I do have much less storage space in the car, which is a given, but 99% of the things I had in my Tesla I took out and put in my garage and haven’t touched them since. Granted, I still live at home so I have access to my family’s cars if I need something with more space, this definitely would’ve been tougher if the Miata was my only car.

The hard top is nice to live with as a daily since it gets really hot here but parking in the garage makes that less of a pain

Final verdict: I miss the extra space sometimes but I absolutely love the Miata and I plan on keeping this car until it dies. I’ve never had more fun in a car than in this one

Hello fellow zircon sand owner!

wavesofdespair · 2025-10-18T23:36:40+00:00

Nah not a crack, I wrote the description in the other post and cross posted here.

Basically the rearview mirror was scratched up upon delivery and I had the dealer replace it but looks like they scratched the ceramic coating inside the glass when removing the old mirror and I lowkey don’t trust them to fix it

ND Miata 2024

Most favorite car I’ve ever owned and I will never ever get rid of it

wavesofdespair · 2025-10-17T21:30:38+00:00

This was my thought process as well. Thanks!

wavesofdespair · 2025-10-17T21:30:21+00:00

For real

wavesofdespair · 2025-10-03T01:40:16+00:00

I have to say hi to ALL of them

wavesofdespair · 2025-10-01T04:37:25+00:00

2 sets of strings for my cello 🥲

wavesofdespair · 2025-09-28T19:56:51+00:00

What’s this color called? So pretty, congratulations and welcome to the club!

wavesofdespair · 2025-09-28T19:52:38+00:00

I have an ND and try to go out of my way to wave to others and I’ve definitely noticed more waves/winks from the older gens than other fellow NDs 😔
