    Traded a '07 Mazda CX-7 GT AWD for a Barcelona Red Prerunner Double Cab with the Offroad and towing packages. The XM receiver is being installed today. Toyota sill protectors and running boards and Weathertech floor liners on order.

    I'm not going to post any stupid questions until after I do a few searches...

    Naw...just stuff that seems like it should be standard, or that cost too much from the local dealer--$189 for carpet floor mats is insane when I can get the liners for $187.

    OTOH, the TRD supercharger isn't listed for the '10...yet. :D

    Thanks for the welcomes!

    Thanks, and you're welcome! I've been on miata.net forever, and it seems that the first thing the newbies do is post six or eight questions that have been answered 234 times each, and three of which are guaranteed to bring out the trolls. Lots of patient and helpful people over there, though, which seems to be the case here, which is why I'm here.

    Thanks! Your daughter is most astute--don't want to be the newbie who insults half the board, but I think I'd call it "Metallic Smurf." Not to your face, of course. :)

    Which, by itself, might make a much better user name. Hmmmm... may have to mull that over. Plus I always wondered why there was never a "Metal Smurf" or a "Rocker Smurf" so I could fill that void as well. :rofl:

    OK, I've done my first mods. Pics below.

    Polished the stock exhaust tip.
    Peeled the TRD stickers off the butt.
    Tinted the front windows.
    OEM running boards installed.
    OEM sill protectors and Weather Tech floor liners installed (kind of hard to see in the pics).
    OEM XM radio installed.
    Crammed the storage bins under and behind the rear seat full of crap.

    Seriously considering the spring TSB.
