here are pix of my 8. No performance mods whatsoever. Pix kinda suck, but those are the best one's i've taken so far.

where are the plates?

may i see your license and registration please?
and proof of insurance??

lol....i don't know!!!! I got the car 5 months ago too! By coincidence (sp?) one of my friends got a car the same day i got my 8 and he got his plates like 3 weeks later. My cousin bought herself a car like 2 months after i got mine, and she also got her plates like 3 weeks later.

...5 months? And you haven't been pulled over?

nope. not been pulled over. At least not in my 8. Back when i had my truck though, i had gotten 2 tickets in that slow thing =\. One of them was speeding :D. lol.

just a question to ask. I'm not too familiar w/the different packages of the 8. As you can see in my pix i put up, my car has the side skirts, and a little lip on the front. It's also the 6spd. tranny if it makes a difference. Can anybody tell me what package my 8 has?

Well for sure you have the appearance package. Foglights and no moonroof, correct? Then from what I can see you have the sport package. :D

yup....fogs no moonroof is correct :). It's nice to know what package i have is exactly :).

I want to get a spoiler for my 8. The stock one doesn't really appeal to me though. I like the X-men wing/spoiler, but i also like this other one i've seen. Looks like a low-key wing. I've seen a few 8's here with it already. I'll get a pic of the one i'm talking about when i find it :)

EDIT:
found the wing i was looking for :)

and the X-men wing

Nice pics. What rims are those and what percent tint is that on the back window, looks very dark. I have trouble seeing out the back sometimes with 15% tint.

flawless, those rims look like Axis Hiro's.

xrider01, that is the Mazdaspeed wing. You should get the front and rear rotary accents, it would add a lot to the car. Do you know what spoiler that is on your car now? As far as I know, that is not the stock one (at least, that is not what mine looks like.)

@ flawless: On the back, i have Limo Black tint, and on the two front windows i have dark tint.

@ sampson: thanks for the info man :). I'm sure i've seen them, but can you show me a pic or link to the accents your talking about? And the rims are the Axis Hiros :)

pics of otrovago's rx8 with the rotary accents

(he has the racing beat spoiler i like)

oh, btw, the rotary accents are the polished rotar shaped pieces on the bottom of the front and rear bumper.

Great looking car. Looks very sharp with the appearance package. You've seriously never been pulled over for plates?? And it takes that long for plates in the states? Here in Canada I got the plates the same day I took it in for registration. If I were to get custom plates, it was a 2-3 week wait.

You can probably order the MS wing from the vendors here or from a local body shop. I think that there are a couple of replica MS wings around too but I'm not too sure about where to get them.

Ya man. I have seen the accents on other 8's :). They do look nice :). You know where i can pick up a set for my ride, and about how much they go for?

Thanks man :). and ya, i've never been pulled over for the plates. Normally here in the states it takes like 3-6 weeks to get the plates by mail. I seriously don't know why i haven't gotten mine yet :confused:. Guess i gotta call up the DMV sometime soon. =\.

You can probably find them from one of the vendors here, or another member, but I'm not sure how much they'll cost.

OMFG!!! $100+ for two metalic accents on a car. Damn!11!!!!~!!!!~!!!

wow, thats very expensive

you know Mazda is VERY proud of all their products!! we all know how proud they are of their strakes.

lol.....i'm not saying that Mazda isn't proud of their products, i'm just saying that the accents are expensive for the set. I still want them tho :p.

You can always paint them... I did that at first but then got the accents... the look much better...

i'd have to get the accents. paint will chip away, become dirty, change colors. whereas the accents, they seem to be constructed of metal. Easily polished, won't chip away, overall, easier to maintain. Besides, it won't look ghetto lol :p.

anyways, i took some pix of my trunk. My trunk suits my needs well enough, although i do realize that there is better out there :).

nice wheels

thanks :)

looks good in black.

If I could make a suggestion, take a few steps back when you're taking pics of your car.

lol.....i didn't take those pix of my car. they were taken at the LAX meet i went to last month. i have some more pix at home though. i'll post them when i get home

the first 4 look like they were taken in your driveway... ?!?

yea, they were taken in my driveway. why you ask? just curious?

i'm so confused, in post 28 you say those were taken at the meet in LAX?

lol......the pix i show on page 1 are taken from my driveway. the pix on page 2 post #25, were taken at LAX. that clear up any confusion? :)
