Well you'd think Common Sense has got to kick in eventually, to whit: "if it's 
allowed, then it's allowed to mount it".   Almost as simple as "if the factory 
put it in, then that's where it goes".  
Butt with as many Lawyers (or "Coulda Ben's" :) that own Miatas, it may take 
awhile longer in BS :)
And it'll be more impressive if the sticker says "Canadian Jumbo".
