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.

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.

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

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

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.
