Well, let's just say, the only time I've liked the color combo is on an old Formula Ford. Other than that, it hasn't been exactly something I've thought looked good...not on an Aston Martin DB3 (3, I think...) not an a Lotus Elan.
I've been wishing for my Miata to be BRG since '91, and have intended a green w/yellow stripes paintjob on this car since '99. This isn't an impulse decision at all.
The stripes will be 11" wide separated by a 1" gap. It'll be a little non-traditional for Miata stripes (very wide compared to most), but hopefully it'll have the right proportions for the car considering the mods done to it (widebody, etc). Going wide with the stripes also departs from the Lotus traditional "Type 72" look, but I think it'll work out okay. I know it isn't a popular color combo either (you don't see it often if ever), but it's right for me . I just haven't ever been tempted to do any other color combo. It's okay if others don't "get it" or even like it, I'm okay with that, too. This is really one of those "to each their own" decisions. :wink:
The green isn't the Mazda BRG either. That shade has too much of an olive tone to it. The green I chose will be just as dark, but have a slight emerald-blue tint to it in bright light/sunlight. In shade or any dark environment, it'll look so dark as to almost look black. The yellow is a pure yellow, very bright and vibrant.
... you'll need a pimp nose badge to go with that colour scheme :wink:
I am tempted to go with gold stripes on mine but I think I will hold out fro my "zero" look with red racing roundels ( meatballs ) with a phat white border

There are a few people on here that are very talented at taking some pictures. Since we don't have a thread with everyone's roadsters together I figure this would be a good thread. Post pictures of your car as much as you would like. Try for them to look decent. Use old ones, others, or any...
To the lowlife who nicked the silver hardtop off of my fathers 02' NB LS last night in Santa Rosa, CA, Karma's a bitch.
If anyone in the area spots a silver hardtop come up for sale, or notices their buddy suddenly acquired a new one ...it's likely stolen. Feel free to administer a good boot...
Long shot here since the Venn diagram of people who actually wanted a PRHT and people who work on their cars is two completely separate circles. I've been googling a bit this morning and it's very possible I'm just horrible at it but is there some sort of guide to servicing and cleaning all of...
Hello, I recently joined these forums and saw this section so I figured I'd use it to ask a question that has been stumping me. I've seen this rear spoiler on some NA's and NB's and haven't been able to identify it and was hoping someone with more roadster knowledge than me could help. Thanks...
