What are people talking about when they say they had the “baby teeth” removed on their Miata?
They are referring to the tie-down eyes that protrude forward from the radiator opening (the ‘mouth’ of the Miata). Many Miata owners opt to install radiator grills, either for aesthetic reasons or to protect the rad from punctures by stones, etc. Most of these aftermarket grills require the tie-down eyes to be removed before the grill can be installed. Warning: although they appear fairly substantial and they are not easily removed, the tie-down eyes are not designed for towing. Do not attempt to tow your car using them!
