hey everyone i just bought a 2006 shinka with 8,084 miles on it it has a wood grain interior havent found any others like it was wondering if they came like this or if its something the previous owner did

 

that's something the prior owner did. No RX-8's were ever sold with wood trim.

 

thanks well who ever did it did one hell of a job looks amazing

 

pics?

 

In my opinion woodgrain trim does not fit the design of an RX8. In a Mercedes or Cadillac ok, in an RX8 no f-ing way! Wow that rhymes! :0

 

here you go heres some pics of it sorry for the quality were taken at work on my cell

 

not feelin it

 

it appears to be one of those wood grain kits.
when done properly, they can look quite nice. I had something similar done on my mazda 626

As long as you like it, congrats.

 

lol i would not have done it myself but since someone took the time to do it and do it the correct way with perfect seems and spacing i think i will leave it for now

 

sticker job?

 

lol guess you could call it that but its a well done sticker job got to hand it to the guy his spacing is perfect

 

it's a vinyl overlay kit. sold from vinyl shops and ebay.
70 bucks on ebay currently, did a seach "rx8 vinyl dash" on google and it was the third or fourth link

If it looks good then keep it, it's the first one i've ever seen done in wood grain on an rx8.

 

wasnt knocking just wanting to see if someone crafted wood pieces or did an overlay job, just curious

 

Looks installed correctly but my Shinka in the garage just cried a little .... if you like it leave it... if not get a spray can of adhesive remover, some rags, and all surface cleaner. Then please remove it.....KthxBy

PS.... no offense intended...

 

at least you got some wood to knock on if your superstitious .

 

Its your car, if you love it then congrats on the purchase!

 

When I first saw the title I immediately thought on the outside of the car like an old station wagon. I was gonna lol. Then cry...

 

lol here you go no station wagon look just the stock black that it came with lol

 

i kinda like it its different but they are right this isnt a luxury car. but still to each is their own and like i said before i kinda dig it

 

lol came out of a luxury car to get into this one so kind of like having a lil luxury lol

 

Looks like a quality kit, but not feeling it on the rx8.

 

so fake wood is luxury?
on a Bentley with real wood yes.
on a sports car with stickers not so much.

 

it gives the illusion of luxury and gives it a nice homey feel in my opinion.... Man, if you like it, keep it.... its your car, not anyone elses on the this forum... i kinda like it

 

Yeah you know it's not bad... the black exterior I think pulls it off nicely. Not my cup of tea but it looks like it was installed well.

 

the stickers are no different from the laminated plastic in ur bmw and benz that they pass of for wood and thanks for all the input everyone
