No they do not. Some do (for enduro's or just simply ease of access) and some do not.

Welcome to Spec Miata Chris, you're in for quite a fun ride!

There is a bashful guy living in a cave near Centerville, OH. He is usually pretty quite but, if you feed him beer, he might offer you an opinion or two about Spec Miata. :)

Beer only makes the opinions more entertaining. Not any better, just more fun.

Relocate the trunk and fuel pulls through the trunk lock hole. After removing the lock cylinder. You will get tired of banging the back of your head on the roll cage evrytime you add gas.

Frank is both mentally and physically handcrapped right now. I am only slightly more amusing when drinking Columbus brewing company pail ale... chris my number is 937-604-4508 some would caution you to never ever call that number, between frank enstein and I we can probably fix you right up if you want to talk to someone smart though never ever talk to nobody from on here lolololol

Pale ale is bad enough, but pail ale sounds just disgusting!

Remove the door for enduros dude...


Or just put a flap of racer tape on the trailing edge of the cover, so you can lift it manually. It's a small extra step, but think of the huge aero benefit! :spin:

I really wanted to use one of these along with some mild body work for a clean install but was afraid I would run afoul of the rules.
