Talking YES!!! My RX-8 FINALLY arrived!!

Hey Everyone,

After a year of being active on this forum, my RX-8 finally arrived.
I ordered it on May 9th and took delivery September 17th. (4 very painfully long months)


Since I've now had it for a week, I've had time to make a few small mods:

-Clear Corners
-Stainless Steel Fender Strakes
-Front Splash Guards
- MS Wing


Thank you to all of you for this great forum, you've been a tremendous help.

Congrats on finally getting your ride Jedi. You've been here so long, and now that you have your ride, you can take care of her with expertise.

Congrats.

cool looking setup there with the factory aero kit and the MS wing with the front splash guards. black with red/black is one of my favorite rx8 combo's, nice choice.

NICE!!! congrats! black does look nice on the rx8.

may i ask why it took 4 months for delivery? I'm sure you could've picked up one and drove that baby home back in May.

I think that these are special "premium" mats you can get.. check the accessory catalog.

Finding a black with black / red interior and Navi was nearly impossible. My dealer did an inventory search (back in May) and there were only 3 in the state. all of which already had a considerable amount of miles.

A few other Cali members with similar setups were forced to order as well.

No regrets at all, completely worth the wait!
(PLUS, its pretty cool seeing your name on the window sticker as it rolls off the truck) :p

Astral is correct.


I got a pretty good deal on them and I liked how the red border matched my interior.

I bought mine in may of 05 and had to wait for about three weeks to find a black with black/chapparal with nav, 6sp and the GT package...got appearance and 6disc for HUGE discount because it was the only one that they could find.....black is hard to find in CA without the all black interior...
don't know how you made it through I was DYING after only three weeks.
