Finally got my new fully loaded RX8. I love this car!
 

I ordered an rx8 four months ago and last week it finally arrived. While I was waiting for the car to arrive I was saving up for a deposit. I was also bargain hunting for all the accessories I wanted to put on it. I was able to accessorize it the day a brought it home. Right now I am selling all my leftover parts on ebay; wheels, accents, floormats. The last modification I'm making is the Borla exhaust which is due to arrive next Tuesday. Anyway, this car is so different to drive around than my last vehicle an f150. The only thing they have in common is the gas mileage. Driving around for a week in Los Angeles I have only seen one other RX8. So I feel like I'm driving an exotic, especially when other cars driving next to me slow down to check it out.

While I was waiting for the car I have been visiting this website everyday reading the new posts. I want to thank all the members for all the variety of information that has been shared on this website. It has been invaluable.


Heres a few pics. You can also check out my vbgarage.

Wow! That thing looks amazing! :eek:
Believe it or not, the 8 only gets better with time!

Enjoy your new car & Welcome to the club! :)

Nice!!!! Black on Black/Red......the only way to go. Have you redlined that puppy yet? I love my baby. Had her up to 104 this evening. I was challenging a Ti Grey, clearly we have the faster colour.........sorry Ajax!!! Love ya man.

- Irish :cool:

Welcome!
Nice shiny black there, but where's the clutch pedal? ;)

Are those rims an extra from the dealer?

Regarding the rims.
 

I bought the rims from a website and I bought the tires on ebay. I then took them to a shop and had the tires mounted and balanced. Then I installed the new wheels myself.

Congrats on the car! You aren't messing around, eh? Loading it up and all! 4 months is an awfully LONG time to wait.

Cool. Another Los Angeles area owner.

Congrats on the purchase! :cool:

Congrats! See you other socal owners on the road :)

Welcome! Are those rims from Tirerack - very similar to stock!

Bee-utiful! Congrats! Love the black and red seats, especially with the red exterior, but that black is outstanding!

Whats the extra button next to the dash color and dsc/tcs buttons?

Congrats! Nice ride. Welcome to the ower's side.

Dude, that car is a thing of beauty. Hey, is that your white F150 I see reflected in your shiny black '8?

Congratulation on your new RX-8, what a magificent vehicle. I saw a silver one driving down Valley Blvd in Monterey Park yesterday, with spoilers and stuff, a girl driving it....hmmmmm.....very nice........Yeah getting a new car is always happy, last Saturday I accompanied my older sister to BMW dealership to pick up her 04 325i, just sooooooooooooooo happy for her, she finally got a car she loves........

Welcome to the Cult!

Ditto: What's the extra button next to the dimmer and DSC/TSC buttons?
(great observation Polak!)

The thing next to the DSC button
 

You guys have really good eyes. I can't tell you what it is because it would compromise me.

As far as the reflection of the truck, that is not my F150. I had traded it in when I picked up this car.

It's NAZZZZ guys :p
