s1mike22 12-03-2003, 07:27 PM looks nice, maybe it was done by katzkin....they specialize in custom leather interiors.
mikeb 12-03-2003, 07:28 PM it has aftermarket wheels on it so I bet the owner had the leather done too
DeNile' 12-03-2003, 07:28 PM Wow!! I don't understand, never seen anything like that, and it has darker rims on it too! What the F#@$
DeNile' 12-03-2003, 07:30 PM It only has 300 miles I wonder what it sells for
Texas 8 12-03-2003, 07:48 PM NICE leather!! Really wasn't too big on the yellow but, with that interior it looks sweet. With that said, I still think I will go after the titanium:-)
garbagedook 12-03-2003, 07:52 PM what's even crazier is that it's listed a 3.7L inline 6 cylinder!
MEGAREDS 12-03-2003, 09:13 PM Some of the advertising from non-U.S. markets showed the yellow leather. I really liked it and might have gotten it if it were available.
bluesnowmonkey 12-03-2003, 11:59 PM The leather looks nice, but the rims just don't seem right. I've seen cars that looked good with dark rims, but not a yellow 8.
OOOH! I'm dyin' here!
This is what I've arranged. Right down to the color of the leather -- a slightly lighter shade than the exterior. The all-black interior doesn't do the yellow car justice, but the 2-tone blk/ylw lightens the interior and sets off the car perfectly, imo.
Still waiting for my VIN#.... but thanks for this preview!!! Heck, almost tempted to bid on this but I definitely want something from current production run and no miles.
I agree about the wheels - too dark. Don't care for the dark window tinting either but in Phoenix it's probably a must.
YELL:DW, BABY!
brawn 12-04-2003, 11:39 AM All the aftermarket stuff on this car was done by SPD -- I was at the dealership recently, and according to the saleslady, this SPD shop does mostly Honda but works on Mazda also.
Anyway, if I remember correctly, they were asking about $42500 on the sticker about a week ago.
what does this mean?

Engine Description: 3.7L Inline 6
did they swap the engine for a V-6, hehe...
success07 12-04-2003, 12:50 PM I have Lightning Yellow and those pics don't do the color justice at all. I agree that the dark wheels have to go but also the amber corners have to go as well. I must say that I'm on the fence with the two-tone yellow leather. I like the two-tone red and the two-tone chapperal but Lightning Yellow is such a powerful color that I think drowning the interior in it would just be too much. The only additional part I would consider making yellow is the piece below the rear bumper that is black plastic.
rieskame 12-04-2003, 12:57 PM they didnt add yellow to the steering wheel
MyRxBad 12-04-2003, 01:06 PM did you notice that it has a compass too :)
bon911 12-04-2003, 01:52 PM Looks nice, but it says 6 Cyl and 2 doors!! lol
Umm, I live in Phoenix and am considering purchasing a yellow RX-8, and would definitely get yellow leather done. I'll probably go take a look at this sometime this week.
The wheels would have to go and 300 miles is not new to me. That's 300 miles of test drive, womp the throttle on a brand new engine that I wouldn't take unless it had a serious discount with and extended warranty.
