Default NON-honda question about Mazda Miata

The other day I was driving and I passed a yellow Mazda Miata. It was very stock looking with some mild aftermarket rims and a very nice "spoon N1" style exhaust.

The odd thing tha made it very different was that it looked like a <U>mini RX7</U>! There as a very MILD kit on there. Just side skirts, and front lip. The back bumber was stock from what i can tell. Also this was the newer model w/out the popup lights.

I just wanted to ask if:
a) anyone know what year miatas best resemble rx7?
b) is there oem kit or aftermarket kit that is mild?

<FONT COLOR="green"> I really like how it looked like a cat and stock mini rx7 </FONT>

that's an 2002 Limited Edition Miata, it has special interior, 6spd/lsd tranny. My little brother has one, it does look good, fun to drive but for everyday driving, it rides like crap.
