XPEL is good, I've run it on most of all the vehicles I've owned in the past, starting with the S2000 (still have), it works awesome for sure.

I may run XPEL stealth one day just to try it out. They recently started doing window film so we tinted the Miata with it and it's quite good, I actually like it even more than the FormulaOne Pinnacle and Llumar that I've run in the past.

Thank's for the info! Definitely good to know, we need to get tint on her as well! I'm excited to see how the xpel works out!

*****before camber is dialed in****Here is a pic of the lil poke from how wide the wheels are. Its not crazy but still have to adjust camber. But i am committed to make these wheels work as i have had them for 3ish years and have only used them for 6 months. Just a reminder this is a 20x10 +10 (255/35) and 20x11+10(265/35).

Just got it back from my detail guy that did a 1 step and put down Ceramic on her. I didn't have him ceramic the front bumper,hood,fenders or mirrors because I drop it off this week for Xpel ppf.

I have a 2008 Miata. Copper Red, Touring, Soft top. I'm the original owner and it has 18k miles - only driven in nice weather.
What is yours?

That's awesome.

It's actually the lady's, but I like to say it's mine just because I love driving the damn thing sometimes more than the S2000. It's a '99 (NB1), 100k miles on it, mint condition especially for interior. No hardtop, but the top is always down with that car. Only nice weather as well .

So just got it back home from the xpel installation and tint (35%front 20%rear). They did a great job with her. Took a lil longer than expected but all in all I was happy with the results. Also I got the front camber bolts in and put them on. I was supposed too get the alignment last night but I didn't have the car back so I had to push that back.

She's a lil dirty and needs a wash but I'm glad she's almost ready.

I powder coated my wheels black and had the calipers done also. Two summers ago I redid the interior with Katskins - seats and door panels to match and added a new radio with Apple Car Play and a back up camera,(helpful when the top is up.) Painted my mirrors glossy black.
I like to play around with my cars!
I had a 95 M before this one.

Before and after specs. So the rear is with natural camber. There is no factory camber adjustment on the rear or the front. So if your going to drop it then keep that in mind. Like I said before I am running camber bolts in the front made by spc. As far as I know it's the only option for camber adjustment in the front as of right now. There are some companies that make a rear adjustable camber arms. I havent decided if I'm going to buy some. As of now I like where we are sitting with the camber. I wish the rear was even but it is what it is.

Here's the after pic.

So if I want to raise my car, will that increase the visual space in the wheel wells? There is already too much, IMO, so I wouldn't be happy with that.

Yes, I would think so.
