I've never heard of the "Club Sport Package" or even done enough research to turn out if that is legit, but this car is pretty clean and a decent deal.

I BELIEVE it is real, I've heard of it before.

It's for real. You don't really hear about them because they didn't sell very well.
When I was looking for my first Miata in '07 I found a NEW one that had never been off the dealer lot. It sat there for 4 years...

I love the way that car looks, the white on white looks so damn clean. I would have jumped all over this if I didn't buy my car a few months ago.

Thanks for the insight guys. Now I have a problem - I want it!

I've learned self control though - no more cars for me!

There is a roll cage in those pictures and that is not factory, there goes the collector value.

It said custom roll bar in the list of mods. I doubt it is a cage.

oh, whoops. Still, looses value because of that unless nothing was cut and you can unbolt it.

Well they didn't sell at "collector" prices at all, so I doubt adding a roll bar matters much to anyone buying it. lol

I'm looking, I had this bookmarked: http://www.funcarsforsale.com/12548/2003_Mazda_MX-5_Miata_-_Club_Sport_-_1_of_50_Made.html

Looks like the wheels were changed and a stereo was added. Engine bay is a little emptier though (wire tuck from the factory):

*edit* Wheels are correct, you had a choice between the two.

Factory brochure: http://www.miata.net/faq/brochures/2003/2003_miata_brochure.pdf

Appears they came in red or white and the two different wheel options.

I don't know about the wheels on the car now but otherwise that would look sick.

I gave it a shot. i went the easy way and used the silver to make a metalic color that to my eye matches the yellow of the car. went the extra mile to preserve the brake rotors and not leavin it all yellow. the bottom pic was lowering it. havnt done that in a while, so i forgot the touch ups you have to do with the under car shadows.. but its a rough idea of rolled fenders kinda

Thanks man, I don't know how I feel about that, but that picture I posted isnt the best. It was at night, once I get a better quality picture, we shall have to have another go. Thanks again! But Im actually thinking yellow wheel, so long as its a close enough matching yellow, might not be that bad.

Yeah, in the night pic your car looks a lot more gold than in person.

The G/F just suggested that you paint your wheels the same color as my car with a huge racing stripe that matches them... Of course she also recommended I get mine repainted light pink for Valentines day.

I do not like racing stripes, and I don't know about the merlot colored wheels. And you should definitely go with pink for your car....:facepalm:
