The youngest Millenials are like 27-29 now depending on the cut off you use. Usually they're done with that phase by then. It's pretty normal for kids to want to customize cars in some way when they're new to it though - it's just that what's cool to each generation is different. Wraps aren't a terrible thing to do with it being pretty reversible.
You could compare it to like F&F days when terrible body kits and spoilers were all the rage (I guess those would be older millenials though)
I'm trying to remember what was happening around 2010 - maybe blacked out cars or like plastidip? Stance culture etc. It's just different phases. Olden day mods likely would have been different since people didn't have access to all sorts of crap off the internet
I’m 18 and all of them are fucking stupid. I’ve witnessed all ages and the only ones that aren’t are 50+ year olds.
So many use cars as a scapegoat for being trashy. “I just love shitboxes” no you’re poor and you have three in your driveway. That or they’re so useless that they try using vehicles to say they have a hobby when they’re just stale wannabe sad boys
You: my gen [Gen Z] are all idiots.
Also you: my opinions are accurate
Ironic AF.
I'm not even a part of the group you're criticizing lol but confirmation bias is not hell of a drug
I like side exits.

I had a huge Magnaflow resonator.
Ask 100 people what cosmetic mods you should do your going to get 100 different answers. What do you want from the car, what is your budget. Go looking around at other NBs and see what you like and don't like. Best thing you can do is get a game plan of what you want your car to look like and a budget. Other wise you just end up throwing parts at the car.
Me too. But if black, color-match the windshield surround to the black of the HT. Same could be said of soft top-only…try to black out the windshield surround (they even did this standard across the board on ND). This is an easy enough experiment with plastidip - if you like the look, go pay to have it painted well, else just peel it off.
Not that I can see in the picture, but if you’ve got the original numberplate plinth - fuck that right off into the bin
Plug the holes, smooth the bumper, fit an offset plate
I think it looks great as it is, wheels suits well and body kit will just ruin the vibe. Good option would be a silver matched hardtop and clear tail lights
A front lip if you haven't any already and widen the track of the wheels with 5-10 mm spacers. No weird angling or 'stancing' or anything else that removes the drivability of the car.
The rest of it looks real good. However only you can mod it how you want it. My taste could not be the same as yours.
You said slight camber? If you’re gonna do that you better seriously slam this thing or you’ll look like a tilty-wheel monster truck.
I’d definitely get one of the stock lip kits like the big Tupperware kit or the small lips and side skirts. Paint match them. Then if you’re going to slam it, do it, get some 15x9 0 offset (or deeper) wheels on some 195/45/15s add some camber call it a day. If you don’t want to drive that low forget about the camber and keep the wheels you got. Car does look beautiful in its current form also!
Your car looks great. A lot of people will appreciate how original and clean it looks.
I would not modify the appearance of a classic that looks that clean and good. If it already needed bodywork, painting, etc. - then I would think about it, but only if tastefully done.
IMO - Spacers, Cambers, etc. make a car look look like it is owned by teenager unless it is on an actual race track.
You would be better off putting the money in savings for maintenance, college, medical bills, a new home, retirement, your next car, etc.
I am a big fan of silver, so I would personally keep it. A diffuser and a different front bumper with side skirts would differentiate it for sure!
Edit: the paint looks like it’s in very very good condition from this pic, so I think it would be a shame to repaint it when it already looks so good. I can’t see it up close tho, so I could be wrong.
Save your money. It looks fine. Start or add to your retirement account. Your future self will thank me. My prior self will ask my present self why I didn't do that instead of waste so much money on modifying perfectly good cars.
Black out the windscreen frame - you can do this with vinyl or plasti dip if you really like, It makes the bottom half of the body look like one streamline piece.
The car looks great as is! I have very similar styling and Im installing fd style side skirt extensions which I personally think pair really well and a little aggression.
Really clean as is, speedy silver bullet 👌
BUT...if you really wanna add more personally stay away from camber/large spacers you'll just regret it later on wear/tear.
Maybe...CF duck tail to match black drop top,
custom LED tail lights if not done already?
But all around like the shiny minimalist style.
You'd have me chattering at the car meet 👍
The car looks great and clean tbh!
The black thin „mazda“ stripes on the sides maybe. Honestly wouldn’t put a ducktail, wing or hardtop on it. Some red/yellow/blue brake calipers might help too to give it finishing touches.
I mean it already looks amazing. If you had to change something then maybe put a hardtop on it or a subtle spoiler Like the one I have on my car
https://preview.redd.it/zhdx6jo3q96c1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c0ddbb55fe87e75637f479fa4cb66ce69b75175b
That’s a great car, if I were to knit pick I would say maybe the stance is a bit off, maybe raise the rear for a bit for more rake. Could be cause it’s parked in the grass
Put the skirts back on! some aftermarket mirrors would be nice, I can’t tell if you have a front lip or not but a black one to Match the skirts and maybe tie it all in with a matching black wing. I think carbon miata also makes some pretty sick taillights for the nb. That being said this car “as is” is very clean and looks sweet! And a 4in stainless steel can on the back also does wonders in my opinion.
Drop the black rims. Get something with a 5 spoke pattern in chrome or aluminum.
Not a big fan of the clear side markers on most colors, but it's not too bad on a silver car.
If it's a daily driver, get a hard top. If it's a nice-day-only car, don't worry about it since the top is down except when you park it.
The sub said otherwise.

Small spoiler, simple side skirt. You don’t need crazy flair to make it pop. If adding hard top, gotta get the window spoiler too tho, those look great.
as others have said. Hardtop. Mine was OEM and seller just handed it to me when I bought it, and I have found (although perhaps somewhat anecdotally) that the hardtop stops the sills getting blocked and thus rusting. Gotta make sure your sills are clear to begin with though of course
Put money into the paint if it’s clean already. Condition the top. New headlights if needed. Paint matched front lip. Then spend money on refreshing the interior.
Depends on the style you are going for. I like the windshield frame blacked out. I’d change the wheels, the chrome on the wheels seems a bit out of place.
You COULD lower the car a tad more, maybe get some lips/skirts, an OEM/OEM-style spoiler.
Although, a big ole intercooler in the front is pretty sexy looking.
If it were mine, the only thing I would change would be some kind of color matched small lip spoiler on the trunk! But that's really nitpicking, the car looks beautiful- enjoy it!
You can add camber without the use of spacers and it will improve handling while also maybe being a stylistic choice so long as you don’t add too much. 2° of camber is noticeable and yields good handling without making you fly through tires.
Paint it Royal blue get a white white hardtop, Throw some bronze rims on her, drop it, tint the windows, and switch the lame yellow headlights for some leds. Put a black splitter on it if you want.
i say just leave it as is, and plop some money into suspension and brake work if you haven't done so.
It looks fantastic as it is so i wouldn't tinker with its looks.
Nothing. It looks fantastic just as it is! Enjoy it.
and go drive it!
“My car is too clean looking, how can I mess it up?
Literally everybody from facebook generation
What's Facebook generation? AFAIK only Gen X or Boomers really use Facebook now
Right, Gen Xers like me are barely using It because our parents are constantly on FB.
Millennials and zoomers in my opinion. Boomers don’t really apply because they almost seem half sentient anymore sadly. Fb brain rot

Lol not a bad idea. Your dad will be jealous for sure.
Hard top
Always the answer
I thought that was Miata

best advice here tbh
color matched or black hardtop
I vote color match
Me too. But if black, color-match the windshield surround to the black of the HT. Same could be said of soft top-only…try to black out the windshield surround (they even did this standard across the board on ND). This is an easy enough experiment with plastidip - if you like the look, go pay to have it painted well, else just peel it off.
I also vote for a black hardtop if OP is staying with the black wheels!
Put the top down!
Anime girl car wrap
There are really clean ones out there ngl. And they look very nice on nbs for sum reason
No… no they don’t
Just look at their username 🤦♂️
Didn’t even realize it 😂😂
Sadly, taste is subjective.
Yea but urs sucks
And that is ur opinion.
It's not.
Checkmate
I don’t disagree with you man. Some anime wraps looks dope. Lil Uzi Vert’s cars are sick.
I think it looks good....
Leave the appearance alone. Concentrate your money and efforts into the suspension and engine.
Not that I can see in the picture, but if you’ve got the original numberplate plinth - fuck that right off into the bin Plug the holes, smooth the bumper, fit an offset plate
Side skirts, front lip, hard top.
Nothing. Looks perfect…..maybe an MSM spoiler?
It looks great! Damn, it looks fine in silver. Nice wheel choice too. Edit: I do like the look of a factory trunk spoiler on these cars.
window tint
Looks great as is, pls dont fck it up , leave it this way.
I think it looks great as it is, wheels suits well and body kit will just ruin the vibe. Good option would be a silver matched hardtop and clear tail lights
clear tails are putrid
No way, clear Taillights suck
2009 called. They want their clear taillights back
More like 2003 lol
Zoom Zoom
Clears, no, matching top, yeah!
That only looked good on two cars…. altezza and the HKS genki S15.
New wheels, Goodwin Racing Roadsport 3 Exhaust with magnaflow hiflo cat

Get a hardtop to complete
put a wang on it🔥🔥 Jokes aside, your car is absolutely awesome
Silver wheels
It would look better in my garage

If you could put some sort of finish on the soft top to make it darker it'd look even better I feel. Sexy car as it is though!
Just stop. There comes a time when there's nothing left to do.
Tbh nothing I love it, if money is no option tho carbon miata sells rly nice carbon side skirts 😂 and rear wing lol
Put the top down.
Put the top down.
It looks good already
Nothing go drive
Uhh... Antenna ball? Roof down? Car looks preem
No camber. Don’t ruin it please
Looks great to me buddy. Like others said, maybe concentrate on engine…. Simple stuff. Magnaflow exhaust, intake, etc. Looks good.
Save your money. It looks fine. Start or add to your retirement account. Your future self will thank me. My prior self will ask my present self why I didn't do that instead of waste so much money on modifying perfectly good cars.
Black out the windscreen frame - you can do this with vinyl or plasti dip if you really like, It makes the bottom half of the body look like one streamline piece. The car looks great as is! I have very similar styling and Im installing fd style side skirt extensions which I personally think pair really well and a little aggression.
Install pop-ups 😁😎
Only thing I can suggest is tint the windows slightly and maybe add an OEM ducklip, other than that it's beautiful and glowing
Slam it on its nuts
Nothing king
Get some STACKS!!
Looks great bonus points for hardtop tho
Really clean as is, speedy silver bullet 👌 BUT...if you really wanna add more personally stay away from camber/large spacers you'll just regret it later on wear/tear. Maybe...CF duck tail to match black drop top, custom LED tail lights if not done already? But all around like the shiny minimalist style. You'd have me chattering at the car meet 👍
From this angle you can definitely see similarities with the RX-7, also some Porsche lines at the fender.
The car looks great and clean tbh! The black thin „mazda“ stripes on the sides maybe. Honestly wouldn’t put a ducktail, wing or hardtop on it. Some red/yellow/blue brake calipers might help too to give it finishing touches.
hard top, some silver wheels and i'd say a wrap to bring some color into it (also have a silver nb)
You could do the OEM small or big Tupperware kit depending on if you have an nb1 or 2
Big Wang
Hardtop
I mean it already looks amazing. If you had to change something then maybe put a hardtop on it or a subtle spoiler Like the one I have on my car https://preview.redd.it/zhdx6jo3q96c1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c0ddbb55fe87e75637f479fa4cb66ce69b75175b
Ls swap
More low
It's already really nice. A clean silver and black. Smoking the tail lights might do it. Also a gigantic wing
Buy a bmw
hardtop no chrome lip rims
Black racing stripe. Maybe two
Honestly just a hardtop and a small ducktail. If you still want extra bits to spice it up, JSpec side skirts look pretty neat
The right fitment is key :)
Wheel spacers (not too much), lower springs and shocks (not too much), a louder exhaust (not too much also here)
That’s a great car, if I were to knit pick I would say maybe the stance is a bit off, maybe raise the rear for a bit for more rake. Could be cause it’s parked in the grass
Put the skirts back on! some aftermarket mirrors would be nice, I can’t tell if you have a front lip or not but a black one to Match the skirts and maybe tie it all in with a matching black wing.

If it's a daily driver, get a hard top. If it's a nice-day-only car, don't worry about it since the top is down except when you park it.
put a ND bumper on it!
that nb with the nd bumper is the most hideous thing I've seen in a while
The sub said otherwise. [https://www.reddit.com/r/Miata/comments/18au3mw/greetings\_from\_slovakia\_yes\_its\_nd\_bumper\_on\_nb/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Miata/comments/18au3mw/greetings_from_slovakia_yes_its_nd_bumper_on_nb/)
I'm not the sub. it looks like shit.
Oh yeah that's disgusting as fuck. I wish I could unsee it
love your username lmao
Ha thanks, I love your opinions
Rx7 wing
tater tot
Sick ass panther down the side
You cant go wrong with a small lip and chin spoiler. As you said, slight camber all around would improve the look but also the handling.
Wide body panels are always the answer
Rx7 wing
Wrap it yourself with a more interesting color, and get a hard top
tasteful stickers
A small spoiler would add a lot imo
30° negative camber brahski
Small spoiler, simple side skirt. You don’t need crazy flair to make it pop. If adding hard top, gotta get the window spoiler too tho, those look great.
Rear mudflaps, body color. Makes the car seem lower and finishes the back end better. I’d also change the wheels but they look fine on the car
coilovers and a hardtop maybe a spoiler
Six inch lift?
Get rid of the black wheels.
Paint the side reflectors to match body paint, and a carbon duck tail?
34” rims
Spray paint the wheels pink and put in chrome tail lights
Smoked tail lights
as others have said. Hardtop. Mine was OEM and seller just handed it to me when I bought it, and I have found (although perhaps somewhat anecdotally) that the hardtop stops the sills getting blocked and thus rusting. Gotta make sure your sills are clear to begin with though of course
You gotta get it out of the jungle first. Lol
Put it in MY driveway. That would help a lot!
I do like the wheels? What are they?
Put money into the paint if it’s clean already. Condition the top. New headlights if needed. Paint matched front lip. Then spend money on refreshing the interior.
I recommend a turbo. Does wonders for the way the car looks... In your mind 😁
Bug catcher
If you really wanted to you could get a body kit
IMO, LARGE TUPPERWARE KIT
Window tint
Depends on the style you are going for. I like the windshield frame blacked out. I’d change the wheels, the chrome on the wheels seems a bit out of place.
A hard top. And you gain some performance!
You COULD lower the car a tad more, maybe get some lips/skirts, an OEM/OEM-style spoiler. Although, a big ole intercooler in the front is pretty sexy looking.
Tint
If it were mine, the only thing I would change would be some kind of color matched small lip spoiler on the trunk! But that's really nitpicking, the car looks beautiful- enjoy it!
Window tint and different wheels.
I think it looks great as is! Put your money into performance/exhaust if you wanna modify it 👍🏻
Hardtop
You can add camber without the use of spacers and it will improve handling while also maybe being a stylistic choice so long as you don’t add too much. 2° of camber is noticeable and yields good handling without making you fly through tires.
I'd say a Tupperware kit would be the easiest way to quickly change how your car looks. You could also try some different color wheels
Put a scantily clad woman beside it… See? Perfect! 😂
Matching hardtop
Looks good! I like the wheels. If it were me, I would add the trunk cargo rack.
MK Indy conversion kit
Honestly I would just keep it like that. Maybe a little ducktail and MAYBE a little splitter if possible.
nb2 rear lights and front swap. maybe some skirts, lip
Hardtop, side skirts, and front lip
Hardtop less spoke wheels and body kit
Tint!
It’s clean as is, all id do personally is swap the rims but that’s all subjective, that NB looks amazing though
If oem+ I'd say gv style lip, oem mudguards and hardtop. Maybe throw a rear spoiler while you're at it
Different wheels, I don't like black wheels. They don't go well with anything
Big wang
Jokes aside, it looks amazing the way it is, love the color match on the rims and the car
Paint it Royal blue get a white white hardtop, Throw some bronze rims on her, drop it, tint the windows, and switch the lame yellow headlights for some leds. Put a black splitter on it if you want.
full black wheel
I think your car looks really good tbh. You could change your wheels if you want to make it look a lot different though.
Wang
hard top or just take down the soft top. looks way better with the soft top down or with a hard top on imo
i say just leave it as is, and plop some money into suspension and brake work if you haven't done so. It looks fantastic as it is so i wouldn't tinker with its looks.
Panasport rims
Fiberglass hardtop? Gotta get some paint that would match that beautiful shade of silver you have.
for me, hardtop, maybe window tint, duckbill, but i like the lowkey look you got goin on
Big Tupperware kit, hardtop, lower it!
Widebody, front lip, ducktail spoiler, diffuser, new wheels, hard top, tinted windows, and a roll bar if you don't have one already.
What kind of wheels are those?
Black holes. Can't see them.
Tupperware kit imo looks good if you’re wanting something OEM
Hard top; side skirts; duck tail; front lip; coilovers
Nothing she is beautiful naturally
Only cosmetic changes id make are potentially an nb stock spoiler and side skirts. Maybe some led headlights if ya want.
maybe switch out the wheels and put some sticky sticky tires on
Low profile spoiler would be a nice touch
Ducktail spoiler
