I have a highly modified Miata, changed so much that a majority of people can't identify it as a Miata anymore. The color scheme on the car (green, yellow stripes, red interior) is an homage to the Lotus racing colors (the car, overall, is built to be an homage to 50's-60's club racing). It has some Lotus parts in it, too, including Elise seats. I actually have Eunos badging on the car, including this Lotus styled badge being used as my steering wheel center:
I use the "Eunos" moniker on the car to help foment even more confusion about it, while at the same time still keeping true to the car's branding (at least for the Japanese market). I figure it's okay with the altered badging & similar logo since it's not actually claiming to be a Lotus, but has some elements which are part of the Lotus homage. Here's some pics of the car in question....
