Yes, there is a silver one. In fact, in the 1/43rd scale, Autoart has all of the colors. We have the full range in our parts department right now. I'll snap a picture tomorrow if I remeber to bring my digital camera with me.

ME TOO ELARA! to make matters worse my wife pointed out to me last night that the last time they sent something i was at my apt instead of in my new house! i dont think they have my new address. the forwarding is still in effect at the post office i think. i have got to make some calls.

 

Hmmm...now I am wondering if I will get one!! The official order on the sheet I got was the end of July but I made a change to it in early August. Hmmmm......well, I won't hold my breath and if I get one I will be pleasantly surprised. Geez, we are all worried whether we will get this metal car replica.....hmmm....we love our cars too much!!!:]

 

Cruz,

I ordered mine in July, was due in Sept., and when I went to pick it up (was black), I saw a gray one on the lot and fell even further in love, so I took it instead. They still offered the buyback/$$ and maint., and I got my little car yesterday. You should definitely qualify.

 

Hope so Scimmia......thanks for the input....yet to be seen but I can hope!!

 

Cruz if you get one, I should be getting it too as we placed orders and recieved our cars around the same time.Did YOU get any of the other pre-order gifts besides the touch up paint? Not Me!

 

In the past, I had always received the gifts two to three weeks after the initial posting on this forum. It was much to my surprise that I found the little car sitting there waiting for me at home yesterday evening.

It seems there is no rhyme or reason as to the sending order of anything (gifts and ortherwise) from Mazda.

Must say that the diecast is a very pleasant surprise indeed.

 

complex......no...I did not get any preorder gifts either...just the touch up paint. Well, let's hope we get the car at least!!!

 

well ichecked with the post office and my forwarding is still in effect so no worries here now.

 

To add insult to injury....

... today, I finally received the steering wheel touch-up paint!

Unless something else is coming (who knows, right? ), I think I'm all caught up!

 

for those of us that ordered black/red interior... does auto art do those as well? that would be sweet

 

No guys you are not having triple vision. you are seeing 3 touch up paints. 1) came with the car. 2.) for the survey. 3) just came in today with a fancy case.

I'll be happier if they'll send me the diecast or strakes or maybe ECU upgrade :D
I don't know what Mazda is trying to say but damn 3 bottle since October when I bought it. It's not like I need it coz it's been 1.5 months since I drove it and it only have 1200 miles.

 

As promised, here are all of the colors of 1/43 AutoArts in our parts department at Mazda South.



And here are some of my new black 1/18 in my office at Mazda South.

They do offer color interiors. At least on the 1:18.

 

Actually, both the 1/43rd and the 1/18th Brilliant Black and Velocity Red have the black/red two tone interiors. The other colors in both sizes have the all black interiors.

Kirk

 

so what are they going to send me? since I got a sunlight silver with a black/red interior. I want an auto art with my exact colors.

anyone get one from mazda with different interiors than red/black in the black and red and black in the other colors?

 

Eeks, I ordered the first day, Jan. 10 '03, and took delivery July 21. No model yet but haven't checked at home today.

 

I'm so happy- my little green 8 was waiting on the doorstep when I got home today!

 

Honda S2k...how much are those cars? If you mentioned that already sorry for the repeat! thx

 

Got my model last week too. Fantastic.

 

You never know when you might run into a locust storm.

 

Just received mine too in Velocity Red. So far that makes:
1. RX-8 Book
2. Thermos Flask
3. Mug
4. Touchup Paint x2
5. Autoart Model RX-8

I have preordered and custom ordered several other cars and nobody did anything like this (Lexus did send me cookies once). I miss my RX-8 even more now.

 

Mine too!

 

Ditto.

 

My Brilliant Black was waiting for me when I got home. Unfornately, the interior doesn't match mine but it does have clear sidemarkers!

Are the doors supposed to open on the 1/43 model?
