I put in Cibie's and they've been working great.  One nice advantage
of 'retro' headlights over the more typical rectangular ones!

Miata Marketing, and several others carry these.

You should receive a complimentary copy shortly after purchasing your
car.

I've used and liked:
	o Meguiar's Plastic Polish for the back window
	o Mother's or Zymol wax
I also got some inexpensive black cotton twill seat covers from one of the
vendors in the club magazine.  They've been a good way to protect the
seat from sweat and suntan lotion and they were pretty cheap.

cheers,
