I have not yet had any requests from miataforum.com to mass produce any of these mods.

Are you producing the bumper line straight down? What will the back edge look like?
Yep, straight down. On the inside, it's coming straight back from the tire. All the plan taper is on the outside edge.

Sort of like much bigger versions of the tapered "pie slices" on the lower bumper areas behind the rear wheels of the 2nd gen Prius, or the VW XL1:





Of course theirs aren't as prominent because their rear bumpers were shaped better to begin with.

Will post more/better Miata pics this evening hopefully.
