Verticle stripes, huh?


Interesting. Verticle stripes makes one look taller.

Maybe he can do some sort of plaid, and be the first with a nouveau fashion trend?

hmmm

Its not really that bad , if only I had some better pictures of it you may like it more.
The pictures don't do it justice.. I had a lot of good comments around town.. The chrome stripes go well with the chrome wheels and the stripes are of a metal type film so it don't contour well with the curves on the car. I will try to get some digital pictures of it..

But thanks for the couple of good comments :P Nice first day welcome on
the Rx8 fan club site..
Thanks for the info on the A/C it helps a lot..

As mentioned before, the RX8's have a less than desirable AC system, that does cycle on and off.

But a noticeably audible clicking? I don't know what would cause that. It doesn't sound like the normal AC cycling, I dunno.

And you say it goes warm.............do you mean warm as in "less cold", or warm as in hot?

" and you say "My air goes in and out and....." what does that mean?

Oh and welcome to the board, BTW. We tend to be honest, sometimes maybe even a tad brutal. Welcome.

Cycling is normal but the "air" shouldn't be hot. Go back to the dealer and have them check the freon charge.

Sounds like it's low refrigerant.
