Seriously, take it to a bodyshop and for a couple hundred dollars they should be able to paint that black bit for you body colour.
Sounds like a ripoff :p Body shop shouldnt charge more than 100 bucks to paint those.

Side Lights

PoLaK:

The sidelights you see in this photo are "Euro-spec" and will not be on our version.

I've seen that picture before because that is my hand

I haven't heard anything further on the key, between then and now, but when I asked Mr Kei Kado about the key (he was the one showing it off) he smiled, and said "we'll see"

There are a couple of others at this site that I hadn't seen before.

the car is in motion. the guy driving is looking and turning to the left!

Mirrors

What you see is what you get as far as the side mirrors go.

Remeber the riddle?/ I mentioned that a riddle could also be called a puzzle.

Now look at the car depicted in the puzzle and compare it to this photo...Mmmmmm!

It's looking better all the time... fog lamps... body colour mirrors... no daft turn signal, no RX-8 logo on the front... you know... I think I _AM_ gonna be modding my car on day one after all...

I wonder what parts I have to ship from the US to loose those indicators...

Perhaps there's some things that can be had as options?

I actually think I might LIKE the side mirrors. It's kind of hard to tell, but the black bit looks like it might be glossy or perhaps even carbon fibre, and not that flat, rough, el cheapo unpainted plastic. If it is glossy, I like it. If it is carbon, I love it.

I don't mind the half-black side mirrors either. What I do miss is the turn idicator on it.

I know some people like the new mirrors but what the hell are Mazda doing removing the indicator?!! The Rx-8 looked so much better with the indicator on the mirror than on the wing. So now they just stick some bog standard indicator from any old car on it and loses its sophisticated Mercedes styling?!
Beats me

(Sorry for the rant:o )
