ND MX-5 Jeff's 2016 ST GT Build

[CTt3P5]

Installed the 3D MAXpider mats. I had planned on buying some OEM all-weather mats for winter use but wasn't sure of the actual protection they'd offer. Saw the 3D mats recommended on another site and thought I'd take a chance.

I bought the OEM ones, but these look much better for actual winter “catch the grime “ mats!

We shall see. I will let you know how they fair after their first winter.

Hey, get the parts for the brace yet?

Oh yeah, picked the cowl bracket up a while ago. Sadly, I wasn't in good enough condition to be stretching into the engine bay to install it. Still in the box in the garage along with the bar. Will be a spring project.

Installed the OEM trunk organizer I got for Christmas. It pairs nicely with the OEM cargo net and is perfect to store my cool breeze scoop.

Nice

Mazda is taking the whole going for lightness thing too far. That cargo net is about 1/3 the size of mine!

 

[CTt3P5]

Gram strategy! Although all the stuff I packed into it throws that right out of the window. lol

Finally had a few minutes to get the JBR intake induction hose installed. Looks much better with that accordion removed. This spring I need to give the bay a good clean and I need a Mishimoto windshield reservoir in black!

Nice Jeff. What's the 2 blue items on the fenders?

Looks great, it really compliments your other JBR goodies...Nice pics as well!

Thanks Bruce. That is some hardware I bought from ProBolt-USA for some bling factor. Initially I had them in black but thought they'd be a nice compliment to the other blue items.

Thanks Antoine. Happy to be able to support JBR now, he doesn't make anything for the NC platform so I used to sit in envy when I'd see him announce a new product. He makes some great quality parts and I'd recommend them to anyone.

Installed the VLEDs High Output White 6 LED Back-Up Lights last week. I opted for the 5K color temp and they have an output of 1500LM.

Did the best I could with pics as I took them solo with my cell phone from the driver's seat.

Of course. I bought the bulbs from https://www.vleds.com/shop-products.html

You just enter your vehicle information and then select which bulbs you want. This will populate a list of their products available for that application. I plugged in the 2015 Mazda6 which uses a 7440 bulb for back-up lighting with and without HIDs. The bulbs I used are on that list and would be PNP.

They are a bit pricey which is why I waited for a "Holiday Sale". Usually they offer 10% to 15% off but their last sale was 20% off so I jumped on it.
