Subject: bent headlight cover and scuffed bumper

Thanks for all the replies on the driver side bent headlight cover.  The problem is, it

was 

really 'bent'. Like wavy looking.  Like it had been bent up and down a few times

drastically.  

It wasnt that it was simply out of alignment.  No biggie, I already convinced Debbie to

put 

on a NACA cover with the air intake, especially after she got a look at one of the

previous miata of the month pictures - MIATAGO I think it was.  VERY nice looking

car..  8^}  Luckily it was the driver side one that was all bent up.  So whats the best 

place to pick one of those up?  Anybody got any installation tips.  I couldn't tell from

looking if the whole headlight assembly would have to come out or not.



Also someone else sent me some email that I should watch that back window

carefully that was a sewn in replacement.  I guess I better give it the leak test

this weekend.  I was thinking that if it DOES leak, maybe some of that silicon

sealer for tent seams or tile grout might do wonders on it.....at least till

I could spring for a new Robbins top.  We'll see.



One other question.  This car had a bra on the front and it would appear it's made 

some scuff marks.  Debbie is still deciding if she likes the look of it or not.  If we 

decide to take it off, has anybody found anything that will easily(or even not so easily 

if it works) remove the markings?
