I think you're talking about the clear corners. They look nice on any color. Here you go:

Edited: just saw it looks like mazdaparts has them on backorder. Not sure who else sells em. They really should come stock, but then so should strakes.

Unfortunately its not your choice if you like em or not. You HAVE to get a pair!!! You should've read the agreement a little closer when you signed up for your forum account. You also agreed to redline your car once a day as well as wash your car AT LEAST once a week, whenever dirt touches your car, or after it rains; whichever comes first!

The rx8club goons will come after you if you don't follow the rules!!

^word...clear corners are a must. The stock orange fruits are just out of place.

Well, mine is blue and will have a license plate that says BNY GRL, so I think it is pretty safe to assume I have a girly car.

OK so here's an update. My lease is up April 30th. My dealer is trying to find a 6 speed winning blue GT package, but can't. He has a red one in stock, which is basically exactly what I have now. Hopefully he can find a blue. He says he has to "check the port where they store cars" or something like that. I've even checked dealer inventory online, and there aren't any. I guess the blue isn't a terribly popular color? The other day I was parked on riverside ave in medford (meffa). I looked out the window of the shop I was in and I swear I thought I saw someone stealing my car. It was an identical red RX-8 parallel parking 2 spots beyond my car. Its like, dude thats MY color!

Last Saturday I took my mom to the Olive Garden (didn't park near any other cars) and when I came out there was another blue RX-8 parked right by me and several people (teenage guys) were standing there admiring them.

Otherwise, I have only once seen a blue RX-8 on the road before that. Well, except for the doctor at the hospital I now work at has an 04 blue one with just the basics on it. No spoiler.

I saw a black one Thursday in Oregon City and it had a license plate that said "NO GOOD" on it.

I like my blue one. There is only one other and a girl drives it which kind of sucks for me.
I totally park next to any RX-8 i see around here because i think its funny to walk out to your car and see another one next to you. Driving next to them is fun, too.
Those are rare occasions though. Theres only like 8 or 9 where im at out of like a million cars.
