Holy cow! I had a 2005 RX8 which I traded for my C6 corvette...but dang! The R3 is beautiful! There wasn't anything (except the new steering wheel) that I didn't like about it. The one I saw had the grey rims, and was velocity red.

 

they all have grey rims as far as i know mate. hmmm they are very nice. just wish i could afford one, maybe in a few years

 

Yeah they all have gunmetal rims. They're gorgeous, no doubt about it

 

I cant stand the steering wheel either... looks just like a mustang

 

ford parts bin ftw

 

Yeah, except it does have the red stitching, which looks hot as hell...but I am a little biased.

 

^You would show off your legs at any chance you get!!

 

Fixed

 

showing of? lets work on your spelling first!

 

hey, she can show off her legs any time!

 

hellz yea she can!!!

 

Did you just correct someone's spelling?! Wow, you did learn something from me!

And I wasn't showing off my legs, I was showing off my sexy red stitching on my steering wheel.

 

You can say you were "doing one thing" but, you know you enhanced the pictures with your own legs. Sex sells....sex sells!!

 

Yes, I suppose I coulda crawled into the back seat, wrapped my arms around my seat, placing the camera in front of it to get a pic without my legs....But I figured, meh, what the hell, I just got a pedi and I wanted to show off my luscious legs.

But in all actuality, I took the pic as I scrambled to take a lot of pics that day since it was hotter than a mo fo, I spent 3 hours in the blistering heat, sweating, dirty, and really, I just wanted to take the dang pic and not F around anymore.

 

Pretty sure its possible to swap the steering wheel for the 04-08 one's...

 

doubt it.

 

nobody has taken apart the 09 steering wheel that I know of so there is no evidence of whether it will work or not

 

I dislike the 04-08 steering wheel, love the 09 one

 

+1^

 

Nice toes!

 

Im pretty sure u can swap it...but whether the buttons on it are going to function....well thats another story....but then again, with enough money anything is possible

 

haha nd then thats really a guy!
anyways, the R3 is gorgeous. aesthetics wise, all it needs is a drop and you're set!

 

Yeeeeaaaah, I prolly won't drop it. I panic about bottoming it out all the time as it is The only things I really wanna do aesthetically is to get the rear fog light thingy that they only make for 09s overseas, put in an LED cyclops (why they would make the brake lights LED and not the third brake light is beyond me), n I don't really have too much else in mind. Maybe some piano black B-Pillars.

The reason why I got it (besides the fact that I'm ridiculously impulsive) is because I thought she was beautiful and I wouldn't have to do much to "tweak" her appearance.

 

The steering wheel does look a little better in person than in the pictures as I was of the same impression when I first saw pictures of the R3's. The rocker switches are the new industry standard as far as I'm concerned as they provide more better functionality.

 

There is a blue R3 sitting at the dealership in SJ - it has been there for months.
