I originally bought a silver touring package about 2 weeks ago. It didn't have the appearance package, but the dealership assured me that I could have it within a week. Unfortunately, they weren't able to get the parts and they aren't going to be available until the end of September. I was really bummed, but resigned to waiting. I went by the dealership Sunday to see if they had any new cars in(yes, I'm obsessed, I want to see all of the colors in person). Anyway, they had a beautiful black RX8 with the appearance and rotary accent packages. It is a 6 speed grand touring with red and black interior. So I called the sales manager today and asked if I could have that car instead. I really didn't expect him to say yes, but he did! So, I took my silver one back this afternoon and took the black one home. I absolutely love it! I can't believe the dealership was so accomodating. I definitely learned a lesson today. It never hurts to ask!!

Whoa.. that's cool.. How many miles did you have on the other 8?

wow, that's awesome. dare i say......pics?:D

I'll try to post up some pics of the car tonight. The other 8 had 543 miles on it. This one had 295 because they did a dealer trade with some place in Jacksonville that wanted a car they had here.

BTW - the car has one of those wind deflectors on it. I don't like the way it looks so I'm going to take it off tonight. It just connects with some L-brackets, it doesn't bolt into the car or anything. If anyone local wants it, they can have it. I'm going to post it in the for sale section for $20, but if someone wants to pick it up, it's free.

My RX-8 (GT, red ext, black/red int) should arrive within a week and I would like the wind deflector for it - could I pay you for it and get you to ship it to me?

Sure, as long as you're in the US. My paypal id is chaste94@bellsouth.net
Don't forget to include your address.

I finally took some pictures. They didn't come out too well, but here is my car:
