2006 SE/Shinka owners?
What does your parking brake handle look like..?
I was reading my spec sheet comparing it to the GT and it appears we are to have a 'leather wrapped parking brake handle with colour keyed stitching'..
Mine is not so. Its black and any 'stitches' it appears to have are black as well. I doubt it would be sand like the seats but its not leather. If it is.. I'd hate to see the cow it came from
I'm curious... was it forgotten, or does no one have this?
I will add a pic shortly..

I had another look at the brake handle, okay maybe it could be leather but its very very hard, even the edges are sharp..
Hmm.. so thats three of us now..

Also, do you guys have the little rear lip spoiler that's on this "Sport Prestige Limited II" edition? (Presumably, the JDM equivalent...)

I was told all the SE/Shinka stuff was added at the dealer, and the car came with just the seats..
Wonder if this was something they missed perhaps?
Pics?

.....black handle as well. The red stitching is only on seats and center console!
I think the Shinka wheels are regular ones with some kind of "powder" coat to them. I dunno, someone had told me that somewhere.

There was a pic on here somewhere with a Shinka and a VR beside each other, and you can see a difference.. brighter, shinier.. I cleaned my rims the other day in the driveway, and checked the picture.. appear to be like the ones on the Shinka.

Same here as others, brake lever has black leather with black stitching and a white RX8 on the floor mats.
The difference in the wheels is subtle, it looks like a smoked chrome versus silver

my shinka has speacial brake handle, seats with the red trim, special ground effects, spoiler, rear spoiler as well as high gloss wheels, sat radio, floor mats, wheel locks and a few more items,,,,,

My shinka has black leather wrapped E-brake + black stitching. The normal RX8 Ebrake is not leather wrapped.
the shinka "special" rims is just dark polished OEM rims, exactly same design.
There is no lip spoiler for the 2006 "shinka". it was only for 2005 Black Cherry Shinka
you get a set of special floormat for the 2006 "Shinka" that says rx8 in red on the side.
Other 2006 Shinka feature:
Alcantara Seats with red stitching
Leather Bin cover front + black ( vs plastic in normal RX8)
special glossy trim around the rotary crest on the seats, the gauges and the air vents.
Piano Black panel on steering wheel ( vs plastic for normal RX8) and piano black panel on the center... beam.. ( vs silver in normal RX8)
upgraded suspension, side strakes, front/rear rotary crest..
I think thats it
