Miata Mailing List: July 1999, Message #104

Will,

I had to cut my panel - a couple of square inches out of each corner, if I
remember correctly.  Not too bad at all.  I've read others' comments that
they didn't have to cut the removable panel.  Cutting the rear deck will
make you feel very manly though. :)

I highly recommend checking out Jaime Villacorte's well-documented page.
I don't have the URL here at the office but if you're interested, I'll
email it to you as soon as I get home.  If you have any questions, drop me
an email.
