The Mazda MX-5, also known as the Miata, is a small convertible that was introduced for the 1990 model year. The 2007 MX-5 is part of the car's third-generation design and is known as the NC model. The NC model made its debut in 2006 and the 2007 model is largely a carryover. Removing the 2007 MX-5's centre console is necessary if you want to replace the lower shift boot or if you want to make other interior modifications.
