Sighted, Pearl White on 164th

Heading West bound towards I-5 at around 945pm, two cuties inside. Kinda caught up to them then gave em' a run at the light, was fun and she had her foot in it, I just kinda got the drop on her.

That pearl white looks really nice. It had a wing and rear mudflap/extensions just ahead of the rear wheel, looked good as well. Was entertaining though, Tuesday Night coming outta Mill Creek after eating some good Sushi... what else ya going to do?

Was shocked to see two cute ladies in the car though, I was expecting some dude... Is it Possible that the RX-8 appeals to the ladies as well? Bonus!

Zoom Freaking Zoom...

Yea, I saw a really nice winning blue yesterday at a teriyaki place in Graham. Discover that it's a 50+ woman driving it!

It's apealing to everyone...though I see more women driving RX-8s then men, and none of them ever wave or anything!

Bah, You gotta wave first. I'm an old fart and these two cuties were both grining and having fun.

Heck the other day out front of Costco i had a pretty lady driving a G35 Coupe wave and smile. No, it's not cause I'm cute and cuddly.. Just grin and wave.

2005 Ti Grey, Bone stock. Getting the Windows Tinted as we speak at Seattle Auto Trim Design. I think it will be pretty much like looking int he mirror for ya.

Thinking hard about adding the Mazdaspeed Wing and a couple of the lower trim pieces maybe. Haven't decided, I kinda like the cleaner look but at the same time I really like the MazdaSpeed Wing. Will also be adding some lightweight wheels when I need new tires, and I am also considering the Racing beat Exhaust, and Revi or similar intake. plus some of the fun stuff outta Mazda's catalog.

Spotted another RX Yesterday, I made a U-turn right on 99 just North of 188th and pulled up next to a black RX, tinted windows and wing, heading Southbound.

Sounds good man, I'll see ya around.

The Window tint went well I suppose, still waiting for it to cure, still have a lot of waves and what not. Installer said to give it awhile, that the bubbles and such are normal, and will go away once the tint cures.

Rear wing though... I dunno, I cannot decide. I like the clean simple look, but at the same time the Mazdaspeed Wing kinda calls to me. I see 8's running around both fully decked out with flares, mudflaps and wings and I like the look. At the same time though I like em' clean and simple too...

Anyway, I'll keep my eye's out for ya... In my Mirrors.

Revlis, Let me know how the tint job goes - price, quality, service... I'd like to have it done also...

I like both looks as well and for me it's going to be full Mazdaspeed kit or nothing when it comes to front/rear/side flares. The full Mazdaspeed kit has nice lines and keeps the car very clean looking where the aero flares, air dam, and rear flares look kind of choppy. I prefer the factory wing over the Mazdaspeed wing because I think it compliments the car better. It's low, sleek, and follows the trunk line really nicely where the Mazdaspeed wing sits up higher and looks like more of an afterthought than something that was intended to go on the car.

I too am curious how your tint job turns out. I'm seriously considering it and I'd like to find a good shop to do it!

I hear ya, But I am 180deg on the MazdaSpeed wing VS factory. The Factory wing to me reminds me a little too much of the older Ford Probe wings, simple arch shape... I dunno. While The MazdaSpeed to me looks more intentional, more functional I guess...

But I am not ruling out either. If I do anything it'll prolly be just the Front Dam and rear wing. Not much else. Just don't like all the busy looking add ons.

Will do, I am taking her back to the tint place next week to have a window looked at, based on their reaction to my request to have that window re-done I'll know what kind of operation they are.

Basically the passanger side tint is scratched up pretty bad in the bottom right corner. I haven't had anyone else in the car so I am pretty sure it was scratched during instal.

Otherwise I am kinda bummed, the tint isn't quite as dark as I wanted..

I hope they make it good for ya. Seems like you haven't had 'er back long enough to do damage like that. And sounds like I need to get smart about tint shades.... Thx for the update!
