Interior Materials

Hey guys

For those that have sat in thr RX-8. The brushed aluminum material on the center console. Is that a Aluminum or Plastic? In the media kit they mention the rotor cutouts on the seat are real aluminum.

It looks like brushed aluminium to me. However, so did the "metal" inside the Mini cooper which i found to be a great disappointment (sp?) when it turned out to be plastic.

The dashboard metal parts are metal-plated. So I guess they will have the look and feel of real metal. There's more info somewhere around this site, you can find it if you do a search.
