A Miata-focused service decodes a plate or VIN, identifies how the car left the factory, and turns owner-supplied photos into custom printed artwork.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The service combines a vehicle lookup with a commissioned print workflow. Its displayed specimen records Hiroshima assembly, a B6ZE(RS) 1.6L engine, five-speed manual transmission, British Racing Green paint code HU, and a claimed production count of 3,997. Owners submit three to five photographs, after which the selected artwork style is rendered and checked against details such as wheels, roof, and stance before printing.
