While at the parts store spotted a little package all to itself and thought "gotta have it!" Then I started having second thoughts. "Too tacky"? Wife says no, it's cute and she put 'em on. I'm still undecided :)

I'm still undecided :) Gyro 03-07-2004, 03:49 PM Hey Nubo....are those REO40's? oh yeah....the 8 ball stem caps gotta go... they are more at home on a GTO with a hurst pistol grip;) Dustin4u 03-07-2004, 04:19 PM wow that must go! RX8Lover 03-07-2004, 06:11 PM tacky as all hell. have you been smoking crack again? Gord96BRG 03-07-2004, 06:13 PM Subtly irreverent. I like 'em! (Gyro, those are the Dunlop Sport 8090 tires, an alternate OEM tire that started appearing on the December delivery RX-8s) Regards, Gordon takahashi 03-08-2004, 01:02 AM ehhh...... I think it is ok... (despite the furious peer pressure). If it is a rotary shaped 8 ball then you can shut them up ;) mikeb 03-08-2004, 01:22 AM rice IMO XDEEDUBBX 03-08-2004, 02:17 AM just leave them on..some choonty will steal them and put them on his 84 cvcc..

It's ironic, so that's cool. OBryanRX8 03-08-2004, 06:24 AM aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! desmo996 03-08-2004, 09:19 AM Simplicity is elegance. Get rid of those. md_guy 03-08-2004, 10:19 AM Now you need to get yourself an 8-ball jacket like Putty had on Seinfeld :D Genom 03-08-2004, 10:51 AM I think it's funny. RenesisRotary 03-08-2004, 11:01 AM I think they are cool, however, I think they will be stolen. emailists 03-08-2004, 11:36 AM Rice a Roney, The San Fransisco treat. mikeb 03-08-2004, 12:53 PM they will be stolen I had them on my 1990 gt mustang when I was 16 along with the matching 8 ball door locks BRx8 03-08-2004, 12:55 PM honestly, they look REAL cheap like you bought them from the automotive section at Wal-Mart...wait, did you? Nubo 03-08-2004, 05:22 PM Originally posted by BRx8 honestly, they look REAL cheap like you bought them from the automotive section at Wal-Mart...wait, did you? Nah... I probably could have saved a few cents! :D doccable 03-08-2004, 05:33 PM Lose 'em. Put those on your dune buggy, or something like it. They are cute, but everything has its place. Just MHO. :) VividRacing.com 03-08-2004, 06:31 PM I guess if you are a billiards shark then it's OK. Go with you instincts and don't get them, however; I must confess that I used to have the skulls on my BMX bike back in the day. Navybeardbb 03-09-2004, 12:51 AM wacky...oh and tacky RX8FanMan 03-09-2004, 06:30 PM yeah they would only look good on a pinto or pento which one it ever is Omicron 03-09-2004, 08:52 PM Funny, yes, but not to my tastes. Sorry. bubble 03-09-2004, 09:05 PM gayness Shocka 03-09-2004, 11:18 PM so besides being tacky heres a real reason to take em off some idiot will wanna steal em... so they will come up to ur car and probably steal em so now if the idiot is an even bigger idiot they will get a kick outta deflating your tires! ok so now u use the fix the flat becuase u in a hurry and uve lost 4 good tires over those 8balls! JSE RX-8 03-10-2004, 08:24 PM got to go sry man Nubo 03-11-2004, 01:10 AM They gotta go because today I found them very difficult to remove when checking the tire pressure. Inserts look like brass which I figured was good but they don't seem to be getting along well with the metal of the valve stem. The plastic piece was spinning while the insert remained stuck. Gotta take a closer look to see if they were cross-threaded. Not that I'm blaming the installer :p Overport 03-11-2004, 09:20 AM It would look better if they went in the shitcan :eek: , just a thought.:cool: sferrett 03-11-2004, 11:18 PM Hey they match my shifter knob!!

Sweet! http://www.tnmc.org/trailers/pics/dude03.jpg bubble 03-12-2004, 04:14 PM Do you sell crack or something? dancer82 03-13-2004, 07:39 PM Oh ok um i'll like buy three 8 balls ? Rev It Up 03-14-2004, 09:21 AM Looks great if your 16. Xlorn 03-14-2004, 10:14 AM Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. I think your weakness is style, and unfortunately your significant other is a bad influence in that area too. :p Lose all the 8 balls, they fugly!! And in the future run your ideas by us so we can keep you in check. :D ;) rx-8Chop88 03-14-2004, 11:51 AM Thats is complete rice dude binnung 03-15-2004, 06:20 AM Bro those 8 ball caps got's to go! Why not just put rotary caps on it. Mazda trix sells them. It looks better than your 8 ball. You can also change your center caps on your rims into a rotary insignia. Go to mazdatrix.com they have some pictures posted for rx8 accesories. Pete 03-15-2004, 11:32 AM NO MrDave 03-15-2004, 09:34 PM Cracker-jacks? Eat the popcorn, toss the prize. sferrett 03-15-2004, 09:46 PM I actually kinda like my 8-ball shifter.. Although it is a bit confusing for someone who's never used a 6-speed before - they just have to guess where reverse is... Anyhow - I find the 8-ball to be the perfect size to fit into the palm of my hand... and I think it looks kinda cool too...! .. I'm not too crazy about the 8-ball valve caps though .... Baller 03-15-2004, 09:48 PM Nice!!!! D MENAC 7 03-15-2004, 09:50 PM Originally posted by sferrett Hey they match my shifter knob!! OK, I gotta admit, I thought of an 8 ball ever since buying my 8 but, would I admit it on this forum to having applied 8 ball valve stems and a shifter knob? Not on your life. LOL Take me off! sferrett 03-15-2004, 10:06 PM The valve stem caps are *not* mine!!! I just chimed in when I noticed that I happened to have a matching shifter knob. repeat: I do not have 8-ball valve caps!! D MENAC 7 03-15-2004, 10:35 PM I figured that out, but still, you have an 8 ball shifter knob. :) Nubo 03-16-2004, 02:53 PM Originally posted by D MENAC 7 OK, I gotta admit, I thought of an 8 ball ever since buying my 8 but, would I admit it on this forum to having applied 8 ball valve stems and a shifter knob?
