The MX-5 Miata is an icon, beloved by millions. There are endless owner’s clubs and online forums, a single-make racing series, even, all revolving around Mazda’s plucky little roadster. As the best-selling convertible sports car in history, it’s not surprising that more than a few of these Japanese gems have undergone serious DIY surgery.

C’mon, guys, we’re just playing.
We love you all.
