yep, sure is.....a proud owner I might add.....waiting on the AEM

nice picture. hey u have appearance package. but no front lip? jus side and rear?

Ahh looks nice. Did you get an air dam too, where from?

I'm so jealous I tried to get Shinka license tags but they're already taken in Florida :cool: I'm debating on L Shinka (for lady shinka) but it's just not the same

Yeah trigs right, you need the front air dam. Trust me it makes a big diffrance :) the car looks so good with it on, make it hard for me to get rid of it for a MS kit.

tint tint tint tint tint tint

i love everything else, though

khtm - cut me some slack.....its the first time I posted pix using a website......and wasnt sure how large they would be.....by the way, do you know the % of individuals that still have dial-up? just because we dont doesnt mean everyone else has cable, etc

Nice...how about some interior pictures, I just can't get enough of the interior in the Shinka

Lady Shinka - mazdatrix.com is the only place that I know of that has those pieces in black cherry....check their website....they are mazda factory pieces.....geniune.....but I did get the spoiler from the spoilerfactory.com in florida because that piece was on forever b/o.....the spoiler factory will custom paint...all they need in the paint code which we have....
should I get the air dam??? I didnt orginally get it because I didnt want to spend the cash....but I can easily change my mind....I may just need a little help in the matter.... :D
how about "shinka rx8" or "shinka 8" for your tag?

Your 8 looks great. I was actually thinking of doing the same to mine (ie just side and rear deflectors).

are you my first voter??????? LOL

think u should get the front. since it will finish off the line of the package. kinda leaves it hanging u know? looks good either way. keep it up

Looks FANTASTIC Shinka!!! I've always been a fan of the OEM appearance pkg. I think the front air dam would look great on your 8. Lookin' sexy chica!! :D ;)

I actually came across this website one day and was curious how their products were. Did you have a pleasant experience with them? How much was shipping?
I'm just not sure I can fork out the cash right now to get what I want - aero rear flares, ms sides and air dam in front.


should I get the air dam??? I didnt orginally get it because I didnt want to spend the cash....but I can easily change my mind....I may just need a little help in the matter.... :D
I definitely vote yes on the air dam, if nothing else, just to see how it looks on the Shinka :)

how about "shinka rx8" or "shinka 8" for your tag?

Shinka rx8 is too long, and I have thought about shinka 8 or the L Shinka.

Your shinka looks so awesome, have you zainoed it yet?

L Shinka - do you have AIM? if so, what is your screen name?
the guy at Mazdatrix was very nice...his email is geoff@mazdatrix.com
the OEM appearance pkg only comes in black cherry......the other pieces ie Mazdaspeed you can get primed so you will have to get custom painted....that wont be a problem though but may be more $....his prices are cheaper than the dealer and shipping is nominal...
i just sent him a pic today...
PS...I use meguiars NXT
PSS.....believe it or not, I bought that MrClean car wash gadget @ Walmart and its fantastic...I used to use a chamois to dry the car because of water marks...now they are vritually non existent!!!

Nice........ Where's your RB intake?

are you being facetious now!!! I dont see a grin.......

just a question.. why did you choose a borla over any other exhaust, since it isnt the cheapest of the lot.. (researching for my own car).. nice car btw..

Very nice! You didn't mention your RB oil screens. I think they add a nice subtle emphasis to the front end.

Thanks.....I'll take that as a compliment as they arent actually RB oil screens...I made them myself from a roll of hardware cloth that I got from Home Depot....cost me about $5.00 and I have enought left to make a new set for every year I own the car..... :D

actually I thought about it long and hard....listened to a lot of audio wavs ......spoke to some people.....did some extensive research on pricing and decided to go with the Borla....it was the sound and the price actually...I was able to get it for 650....and I wanted something a little deeper than the greddy or RB....btw...Im very happy with my decision...

What are these little silver bits? are they part of a replacement grill or what?

you can get them cheaper elsewhere: ie ebay and DMenac7 on the forum
check it out before you buy them as they can be costly otherwise...

:D Awesome shinka pic's dude! sweet ride!.........How you like it so far?

Im lovin' it.....weekends never looked soooooooo good.... :D

HEY people in Michigan, "Shinka" plate is available. Too bad I don't have a shinka otherwise I'd get a personalized plate too.

Get the front air dam. You'll get the complete look. I've got it. Looks really nice. Sorry no pics yet.

thanks....its on order even as we speak!!!

Definitely go with the air dam unless your going to go with a different front end, it makes a shinka look better. I think NXT looks pretty good with that color, works fine on the wheels as well.
