LOL, I just took off the protective covering over the "RX-8" on the bottom of the door trim. I've had the car for over 5 months and didn't notice it. Anyone elses still on ?

Holy cow!! I am embarassed to admit it but I just checked the RX-8 door trim and I still had the plastic.. after almost one year.. It just never looked hazy or crazed like most plastic protected objects.. Live and learn.. Thanks for the post or I probably would have traded the car in four years from now w/ that covering still in place.

When you open the door you see on the bottom the RX-8 logo. (Unless you got the updated one from the factory). Peel off the protective covering.. It looks good.

I noticed it after a week of ownership, but I'm gonna keep mine on...it'll prevent any scratches.
