FD: OEM Bose Option... Stereo from a 05 Miata. Probably better than a Spirit R radio.

I cut away at the support a bit and everything fit fine. You also need to adapt an antenna plug, as the 93-95 style clip doesn't work with the newer, more standard plug.

^ Nice! Let us know how that holds up. I had read that the 6-CD changer mechanism couldn't take the stiffer suspension on the FD, but that may have changed. It's not like everyone's gone out and does this swap.
No need to worry about the color of the backlight just buy the little "condoms" in amber and you will match the backlight on the stock gauges. It is an easy swap.
It has held up fine for the last almost 1.5 years. I love the changer since I haven't done the MP3 mod to it. But 6 cds is enough to have all of the music I listen to most often. The space was tight with the harness and antenna adapters but it is in there and no one can tell I did a swap.
