I just got these stripes on my Rx8 and about to get some down the middle... Just wanted to post some pix of it.. I also am having a air conditioning problem. My air goes in and out and the dealership said the fixed it but now it makes and clicking noise that you can hear real good while at a stop light or just at idle.. It seems that the clicking noise starts then the air gets real cool, then it clicks again and goes warm.. I don't know what it wrong with it.. My warranty just ran out so I don't know what to do about this.. They said they fixed it and now they say its not under warranty anymore.. I was just wondering if someone can help to solve the problem...

Thanks everyone...
Here are the pix..

ahh... the AC is normal. It always cycles from cold to warm.

I guess I'll be the first................I'm not a fan of the side stripe.

It doesn't go wheel to wheel, it stops at the door edge. Even if it went all the way from wheel to wheel, I doubt I would be a fan.

And I don't think stripes down the middle will be good, either.

Sorry, just my humble opinion.

I agree it does not flow.

while its not "normal" for 99% of air conditioners.... the rx8 has a very shitty AC unit that doesnt pump out cold air... why... i dont know.

The straight stripes do not flow with the curvature of the car. Therefore do not look good on the car.

Otherwise...............................looks great!

the clicking noise is the clutch on the ac compressor cycling. its supposed to do that.

Yea...the explanation I got from the dealer was that the AC comes on and off to keep our fuel economy up while you drive through town with the AC on. I asked them if they could disable that BS and they said no. And yes...at first glance it looks like a Rustang stripe from the 90's...FAIL. If you really are into the stripe thing though I would talk to chrism or somebody and get some ideas on how to make it work. I just don't see it dawg...sorry.

Funny thing, Europe version of the 8 has a "Sport Pack" which includes stripes.

Or this....

Just because Mazda has a package, and the consumer has
the option of some sort of stripeage on the European cars, that doesn't make it right.

IMO I can make an equally convincing photo argument:

Yeah, I agree; I immediately thought Mustang. But since that's a Phantom Blue with chrome wheels, I'm in favor of anything you can do to distinguish it from my car. Stripe away! Do some vertical ones, too.

mine cycles, but the air is so cold I usually keep it on the lowest setting.
