Went in this past Saturday and pick up my 06 RX8 It feel great
I got 100miles on it . Took out on lake short drive to see what it has and came out satisfied. I got the new gray touring . Now I want to get the rotary accent on it were can I find those at . That was the only thing it didn"t have. I had to trade my 3 but I feel I did the right thing.

 

Look on e-bay for the accents, best price.

 

You can also buy them from Trussville Mazda

Sometimes they run specials and have free shipping. I dont think they will be doing that until December though.

 

Congrats on the new car! Remember to follow the proper break-in procedures for that car. (available at www.racingbeat.com)

aka Howard the Ebay guy. His are made of stainless steel unlike those flimsy aluminum things that Mazda sells.

 

I have the "flimsy" Mazda kind and it's hard to tell that they are flimsy when they are on my car. I don't like the finish of those. I like that aluminum color that the rims are and now strakes and interior is. Those look shiny and more chrome.

 

To each his own Zoom.

Remember though: if you're in some place that's really cold or there's harsh winters: Stainless Steel > Aluminum.

Reaper: What color? What options? Where's the pics???

 

Good choice. Enjoy it. Strakes make a huge difference (if you don't have em already). If you do - what package did you get that came with strakes but no accents?

 

Good point, I worry about what the salt will do to my Aluminum accents in the winter.

 

It's a gray 06, the color is a little darker than last year edition. The options are all pretty much there , except for the accents and spoiler. Im in Chicago so i'll to look for the stainless steel ones. Another thing that I want to add is the gas cover . If I'm correct they have some that are stainless steel or at least look like they are. I'l get some pics soon. Honestly I stink when it come to digital camera and getting the pictures in the computer. But , I'll get it , Im going to have to talk to my daughter to help me out.

 

- I just have a buddy of mine take pics - he even cleans them up in photoshop.
