Hello again everyone. I haven't posted anything in a while. I was too busy trying to get rid of my RX-8. I've tried to get into an Acura TL, Lexus IS250, and a Hummer but I'm way too upside down but thought it was worth a try. Well since I'm stuck with the RX-8 for another 3 yrs (not complaining) I thought I'd dress her up to make time fly. I'm putting some 20" chrome rims on layaway so that way it would be on come spring time....I will post pics ASAP. I never thought chrome would look good on a sports car but I saw some on cardomain.com and it looks beautiful!!! I'm not sure if you seen it but someone put 22s on their RX-8 and I think it's ugly because it looks like the car is floating. I'm getting the factory spoiler installed because I don't like any other spoiler. I'll probably order the zoom-zoom windshield sticker tonight...you're probably thinking why not the CMZC sticker but I love the zoom-zoom. I'm also going to order the red rear and front rotaries and then install the "factory" body kit later. I LOVE the mazdaspeed body kit but I would only put that on if I was keeping this car forever. I'm thinking about installing an exhaust system....still looking on youtube to see which one because I don't want it too loud. Last but not least...lambo doors but that's not til next years tax return

Nooo000. Not another one.....You guys are killing me. The 8 is the best car to own in the world. Seems that people who are getting rid of them drive red ones. Sounds like you got some good stuff going on there. Post some pics when you get stuff in.

So if I paint it blue you think I'll keep it longer?

I actually would consider painting it blue like my 6 but I don't think it would go with the red and black interior

It is a good car....my winter didn't go as bad as I thought it would but winters not over yet! I just miss the smell of a brand new car....call me spoiled

....new car air freshner isn't good enough. I'll probably get the rims on around May so I'll post em then. Oh and I guess I gotta get the normal rotary accents....they have every color except red!! So I guess I'll just get the red fender strakes.

I have the rotary accents for front and rear. Just don't know the condition. If I ever find out I'll let you know. You could always paint them yourself. Also we talked about the rear spoiler I have. Damaged but the price would be good.

I already ordered the rotary accents!! I'm getting my spoiler through Drive In Autosound. I'd rather get a new one that's already painted because I know they'll charge me the same amount for an old one to get painted.

Yeah, notice everyone trying to get rid of them lately, and how it coincides with winter time in Colorado lol. Not everyone has a 2nd car to get around in during the winter months, or works within walking distance lol.

Yea I jumped on the bandwagon and I'm glad I fell off. Chris and I made tentive plans for the weekend of March 1st for the install. As far as I know all are welcome but some one needs to bring a grill for the BBQ

I can understand the TL and 250, but the hummer seems like odd man out. Sorry to hear things didn't work out, but glad you still have your 8. So welcome back?
