Busch Gardens is opening pretty soon. That could possibly be a cool place to meet.

 

Yeah, I agree with that. It might be easier for others to go to Kings Dominion. But I am up for ethier one.

 

I'd do Busch Gardens

 

derex'8 you changed your avatar. The old one was cool. I looked twice at it everytime.

 

^^^^ Yeah mann apparently someone on this forum already has that avatar (RotaryRasp) and accused me of stealing it...whatever

I definately be down for Busch Gardens....

 

That sucks. I've totally got dibs on my avatar. I haven't seen anything like it around here, and if I do... well... blood will be shed!

 

Seems that the majority of the NE RX-8 Forum is Virginia folk.

 

Well, either that or we're the most active!

 

Is anyone here going to DGRR

 

^^^ Can't wait! ^^^

 

We need to get our caravan information posted on the DGRR thread. There are a few other people in the area traveling down as well.

 

i would go but that seems kind of far coming from Tennessee and then heading there. I think im going to wait for the BHOD meet.

 

Where are you X:Faktor?

 

So I was going to be on time for once at work, until I walked out to my car this morning to this. No idea where that piece of cr@p came from. Any idea how much this would cost to fix? I am not so worried about this dents because I know those are like $75 a pop, but the chipped paint worries me.

 

If it's just the fender, I would honestly try and see if Mazmart or someone has a used one already painted VR that you could get from them.

 

Do you think I should replace the whole fender, rather than just have the dings fix and the paint fulled? Do you think they would have to repaint the whole fender or just fill it in? I am kind of new to this.

 

The paint will need to be feathered in to the surroundings, or it will be noticable. Be careful of a body shop that wants to paint the whole fender, as it will probably not match out. I know a good body shop down in the Lynchburg area, PM me if interested.

By the time you pay dent wizard to pull the dents, and then get a shop to paint the fender, a used fender already painted would be much cheaper. There are many of us who would be willing to help you change out the fender. It's a pretty simple process. If you go the body shop route, you may as well have them fix the dents as well.

 

check out the section on here to see if someone parting out an rx8, chnged fenders, etc or maybe ebay. Think i saw one out there, however it wasnt red it was gray.

 

Yeah I have called Mazmart to see if they had anything and a few other places, but it seems like I am going to have to do some shopping for the next couple of days. Too bad this happened on a Friday when all the repair shops and etc are going to be closed for the weekend.

 

I just bought a 2004 RX-8 GT out in Roanoke a few weeks ago, however I am from the Richmond, Va area. We bought this RX-8 to replace our 2006 Mazda3, haha. The RX-8 is our new family ride.... we have a 1 year old daughter. I figured we had to enjoy this while we could. It is fully loaded except navigation.......had only 5700 miles on it! Automatic tranny, not really by my choice, but easier for the wife to drive. She drives it 90% of the time anyhow.

fresh meat! RELEASE THE HOUNDS!!! Just kidding man. Welcome. I went to Roanoke a bunch as a kid and watched some outdoor play about Indians or something. My memory ain't so hot. Nice place though. Glad to have you.

 

As a update, it turns out a friend on mine is a auto body repair guy for BMW and Mercedes. It seems were going to go one of two ways: He is going to try and find me a fender from a junk yard or just take care of it the traditional way. Should cost me less than $300. It's not even worth going through insurance. Wish me luck.

 

Thought I would just add that I purchased the 1:18 Die Cast RX8 from www.rx8strakes.com for about $70 and it is awesome. I had a really hard time finding one, so I gave in and purchased it. Great product, even has carpet, the engine cover comes off, and great small details like metal rotors, etc.
