Shinka wasn't made after 2006. That's also not a Shinka color, either.....that's the Stormy blue mica. Still, Shinka is just a badging / cool color combination. Stormy blue is one of the best colors IMO, so it shouldn't make a big difference if it's not the "shinka" edition.
They'll try and charge more for the "Shinka," even though it's not. Tell them Shinkas weren't made after 2006 and the thing about the color and see what happens.

06 Shinkas are easy to spot just look inside. If they have tan interior with Alcantara seat bottom and back they are Shinkas. If they are any color other than White, black, gray or Copper red they are not shinka's. (05 shinka was black cherry with all tan interior)
Just look inthe photo's section for the copper red rx8's and you'll see interior pics.
"Shinka" has bigger rear shocks (14), Reinforced body frame (some parts), and Urtherne filled Front Cross member.
driven a shinka and from personal experience, I don't notice a difference whatsoever between the shinka and a regular 8. I'm sure these parts are there, but they certainly are not noticeable IMO.
a lot of cool dudes will answer your questions accordingly 
Not a Shinka... and where is the passenger side exhaust???
