G_DAMN THESE IDIOTS! All that shlock plastered all over the car and IN the car and they don't have the change to get Clear Corners??????? WTF!

Also who puts a Chrome RX-8 logo on the interior...passenger's side front airbag!

I again blame NASCAR for this shit

Ok I just 'Asked the seller a question', here is a copy of it, I wonder what they will reply:

"Can you remove those G-D aweful decals from all over the car? Including the chrome RX-8 emblem stuck to the passenger's side front airbag location?

The RX-8 is a beautiful car on its own...someone was seriously on crack when they did this."

well I got a response...it seems the dealership isn't that wacked...but still they should remove those decals promptly:

"
You asked:
"Can you remove those G-D aweful decals from all over the car? Including the chrome RX-8 emblem stuck to the passenger's side front airbag location? The RX-8 is a beautiful car on its own...someone was seriously on crack when they did this."

hello, thanks for your concern for the stickers. If you win the auction, or buy the car I can have the stickers removed. regards, ***name edited***"

The whole cz deal seems to go to be true to me. When I sent them email asking for a dyno they said "sorry none available." Now to me if your claiming 20+ hp you should have a dyno sheet on hand for this type of request. Now i could be way off base and if so i apologize.

^^^wrong thread I think...but let me know if I am off base as well.

in regards to the exterior of the car, stickers aren't hard to peel off. If there is residue, you can wash and wax the card to get rid of it.

If you want to lay blame for something like this look at movies like "Fast and Retarded", NOPI,and so called sport of drifting. Those ground effect body kits and big wings really help when sliding around, and before you start NASCAR is not on my list of favorite things.

I guess the Special florida edition comes with crappy tires also,Those dont look like the stock potenzas.

Well, let's see... if the angular momentum combined with the coefficient of drag to impart sufficient audibility into the spin cycle, I'm sure the resulting centrifugal derivation would have a noticeable affect on the angle of the dangle... hypothetically, of course.

Or, in layman's terms, they only make it look spiffy. ;)

Did you all like the faxt they took all the emblems off the back of the car and prolly said Oh Sh** there are holes there so they put a rediculus big black sticker in place of the holes .....Very Very Very creative ...... i give that car a -10

Hey now, I enjoy drifting as much as the next college-aged guy, but anyone who decals their car up like this is in need of either a stern talking to or a sound beating. Why go out of your way to make yourself look like an idiot and your car look tacky?
Don't even get me started on the grapefruit shooter e-bay exhausts (especially the sideways ones that sound like wet farts) or the spaceship kits that everyone with a "fast" econobox sees as a necessity... :(

The black strip across the back and the black on the hood indent is actually that carbon fiber...something. It looked like just decals. You cant appreciate its true barf value unless standing right next to it. Its gross

The sticker helps with the aerodynamics of the car, allowing the air to flow faster causing lift, which means the car is lighter and therefor faster and thus why this is known as the florida special edition limited rx-8.

Its not that bad eh! I've been reading through this thread and have come to a conclusion... It all sounds like a bunch of old crabbey women talking about the new old fart in the retirement home .. Give it up.. It's gonna be allright. Remember to get your fiber :cool:

I guess Mazda's special edition is the "shinka" so the Florida Special Edition is apparently the "stinka".

you guys do realize that under all the crap theres a real rx-8 under there waiting to be set free.........all the cosmetic flaws could be easily fixed and this car could be turned into a damn fine example.
