Given to me by some of my friends for my birthday! The guy who put the kit together and painted it specializes in Gundam model kits, but I am very pleased with what he did for this.

One and only kit of my one and only car! (http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/2188/70444204if9.jpg)

Looks kind of weird...Would look better if it was just all white, or all orange :)

It looks like it could be a race cars color scheme but it would be a lot more cohesive if it had more stickers/decals.

Not bad. The actually car looks pretty good the more I see it and its pretty cool someone took the time to make a model to match your car. Different parts of the world are going to have different style and taste otherwise we would all be driving grey cars wearing grey suits.

PS a CreamsicleŽ sounds pretty good right now in this 95+ temp.

I have the same model, but made some custom fabrication. I'd say it's a bit more "unique".

huh? You must not know me very well. Just sharing because not many people see RX-8 plastic models. A friend of mine from Japan brought mine over. They are made by FUJIMI.

Thx Saiko, I dig the work put in to yours so it matches your car.

Me?

To be honest I don't really know. It's a floppy fibreglass spoiler I picked off the shelf.

Thread dates are irrelevant to our lives.

Such as when you go out on a date, and they say their age. It's just a number. Same principal here.

Anywho, props to making it match your car. If you ever put your car in a show, you should bring it along and have it with the car, haha.
