Subject: WANTED:  Front-end emblem

Arrrrrgh!  Sorry about the last message being in HTML.  Anyway, here's

the message again (don't know if I need to re-send it, but here it

is)...



It seems my little Miata is a magnet for debris (I thought someone said

it was a chick magnet, but that hasn't happened yet).  I won't get into

all the other stuff it has attracted (gear sprockets, big bundles of

metal, bicycles), just the most recent encounter.  Anyway, while taking

my dad to the airport on the 10 freeway here in Southern California, I

was whacked with what appeared to be a remnant of a tire which knocked

my dam loose (easy fix), left a rubber imprint on my front-end, and took

my emblem off.



Anyone switch to a Racing Beat front-end or just not want their front

emblem for any reason?  My car's black and really looks unfinished

without it (no stripes or anything).  Perhaps it's not the color but the

TSI scoops in addition to that big mouth it has that makes it look

unfinished.  Maybe any Miata without an emblem looks unfinished... I

don't know.  The picture on one of my M Marketing booklets shows a red

Miata with TSI scoops and no emblem.  It doesn't quite look complete to

me, but then some like that "clean" look.



So anyone have one that's off their car by their own will that want to

give it up?  I've no idea how much this piece is new, but I can pay you

for shipping in the very least.



Thanks,



Mr. Patrick & Shub-Niggurath
