     I am currently working with Vantage Motorsports and Norm Garrett (one
     of the engineer on the Miata project and the Miata Club founder) to
     develop a replacement headlight cover with a small NACA duct to get
     cooler air to the enigne. This is actually Norm's idea to be used in
     conjunction with the Eaton Supercharger they are developing, but my
     car will get the first one.
     
Replacement headlight cover....any chance that, as a result, the headlamps 
will be replaced by small halogens incorporated into the space with the front 
signal lamps so that the lights don't pop up at all? I've seen a photo of a
concept car with no pop-up headlights, and it looks great. If this is a side
effect, count me in!
