Google "spec miata tow hooks", there are plenty of super bright colors, orange/red/etc.
For the radiator/hose interference, you can trim the throttle body elbow down so it sits closer to the throttle body, and I've also remove those Koyos, cut the neck off, and welded on an outlet with a small angle to it, making it much better for intercooler setups.

Thanks curly. I found the install video for kraken and he shows trimming the silicone coupler. I haven't done it yet but even then I bet it'll be pretty close. I ordered the FM S shaped radiator hose and that should do the trick so I don't have to mess w/ the radiator.
Started hacking away at things. I'm gonna have to borrow my buddy's MIG for a little while.
Haha.. as if I didn't have enough things to do. In my digging through threads, installing these did cross my mind, but I need to draw the line somewhere and get the car running. If I'm only targeting for ~220whp I think the existing setup should be fine and stay cool. I do like how they clean things up by getting rid of the hood latch. I have singular hood vents I need to install before these. These do look a lot nicer than the traditional hood pins. I installed a couple sets of those years ago.
One thing I haven't talked about is an oil cooler. I was planning on installing that AFTER the car is running with the turbo but I'm torn where to mount the cooler and whether to remove the oem oil warmer or not. I was thinking of mounting it to the back of the radiator like @Kboi12 did on his setup but you obviously need a larger cooler to compensate for the lower airflow.
Also a quick update to the saga of my lost package with my seat. The package finally got declared lost and the seller shipped me out a new seat and I got it a week or 2 ago. I was getting a little concerned as there's little recourse I could do at this point since the purchase was in November of last year but he came through. If you need some Recaros he's a reputable seller and they come straight from Germany. Website is maar-shop.com. This is the ABE version. I have an extra harness and bracket ready to go to install this seat on the passenger side.
