found something "new"
Ok, before people start crying about the search button, i just want to say that this particular subject might have been difficult to find on here, but this made my day for I found something on the car i'd had never noticed before.
As I was waxing my front bumper, I noticed a "new to me" Rotary accent. Its very small, but on the bottom of the HID headlight housing there is a very small rotary shaped hole. Go check it out on your 8, never noticed it before and I suspect many of you didn't see it either, I've had my 8 for well over a year now and I get close to it often, hell I even took off the bumper recently and didn't see it. I guess its another 'little things" that Mazda designers did, :beers:

It was one of the first things I noticed examining the car at the car show prior to their release back in 03 but then again maybe I'm just off the charts in rotary 'nerdism'.

I noticed it when I first bought my car. I never looked at it close enough to realize that it was shaped like a rotor. I assumed that it was there to assist in lining up the light during manufacturing

Thanks for pointing this out. I've had my car since June and never noticed it. I do love the little things like this!
