welcome to CL Gadget! Especially to the ES family. The guys here are sweet and helpful. I have the same year and model in blue onyx with the gold emblems too. I wanted to buy a white car but the dealer didn't have a white one fully loaded, so I bought the blue with gray interior. Definitely get the windows tinted and there is a nice lip kit that will give it some ground effects. I am saving up for the lip kit and hope to put it on next year.

I'm not sure yet where I'm going to get the lip kit, a few websites offer them, but haven't seen the correct front lip for the 2005 at a price I'm willing to pay. Our fog lights are round and the front lip I see online is for the 02-04 fog lights. The one one l-tunedparts.com seems right, but too costly. Right now I'm working on tinting my windows and adding the side view mirror lights. It's hard to put my car in the shop since I drive it everyday to work.
I'm lovin the blue so I'll have to pass on a trade. Maybe after I pay this one off I'll buy a white pearl gs. I test drove one and fell in love with the 400hp.

Hey Gadget, I'm in south jersey near collingswood. Literally across the bridge from Philly.

I've got to find good places to buy good parts. My first object is to get myself a better-sounding exhaust.

Yes, I'm on Miata.net as GadgetRick but I haven't posted there in a while. There's a Miata Mob here in NJ I belong to.
My Miata is a 2006 and I love it. Drives like a go kart. Just a blast.

That's a beautiful car you have. Good luck on your exhaust search. I've been trying to do the same but haven't found any recommendations or past experiences with an aftermarket exhaust on 02+ ES's. If you do though, definitely post it up. Welcome!

2) I can't figure out these locks for the life of me. They seem to lock themselves (I hate that, need to change that) but also, they don't seem to open the back doors when I unlock them (with the door button). I have to unlock it with the key button. Any ideas on these things?
