Congratz on your purcahse. Emblems look great. I gotta do the same thing to mine.
|
Yea i highly recommend it, it looks amazing now!
|
Yeah those vortex generators don't do much unless you have a huge wing. And the RX8 is too clean for both of those things :)
Good call on taking them off. If you want more black on the car, get a carbon fiber lip! |

They increase your speed through the corners by generating gayness.
Nice emblems. Less is more bud. Don't over do your 8 |

I was just debating possibly buying them again and trying to place them correctly but now i c your guys point, it is way to evo'ish so they will be off today.
Anyways my spoiler gets here on the 3rd so then ill have that and with the spoiler their i wont care about the vortex generators. Getting my rims painted is next on the agenda, i really like the stock 18's i dont see anything wrong with them but they MUST be black. Oh and for the person who asked for the specs on my 8: 2005 75k miles All stock Just bought it in January oh and on that spoiler, dont tell me its one of those ricey 3rd row seats is it?:dunno: and damn, 75K thats pretty high:eek: |
15k per year is not excessive. The car is 5 years old and it was obviously a DD.
|
No its not some rediculous spoiler, just the regular spoiler Mazda puts on them i really like that one. This one just didnt have one with it.
Yea 75k is pretty high but at pdxhak said it is a 5 year old car now. It runs great and im getting about 250 miles per tank and im not experiencing any problems. And even if i do i have a 2 year 24k mile warranty still and ive only used 1k miles off of it. I absolutly looooove this car! Couldnt be happier. |
Yea im not going to overdue it, i had alot of ideas and then once i put on the roof strakes i realized that this car isnt meant to have a whole bunch a BS tacked onto it. So now ive let those ideas go and taking the dumb things off the roof
|
nice 8.. welcome to the rotary world.. wish i had the white one.. but that red copper is beautiful!!

|
Lol yea i can tell thats the tradition here =].
Do you have the full aero kit 9k? |
I like the frosted corners, and had actually been looking at my rear clusters and wondering if something like that was feasible back there as well.
|
Yea im just debating because now that i have the frosted corners i kind of want the stealth ones instead... Because i went black with the emblems and i was going to smoke the tail lights as well.
I was also going to put either carbon fiber or just black strakes on the front air vents. I really like the black accent look on a white car, ESPECIALLY an 8! |
Black stuff on a white eight is straight sex. Get some nice black rims, then you're set.
|
sick time for some 5% tint!
|
I was probably just going to get my stock ones painted, i really like the way the stock ones look. Just not silver...
And yes i need tint as well |
I agree with everyone thus far that S#*! on your roof has got to go. I also have a white 8 and mine did not have a spoiler when I purchased it. I personally don't like the mazda spoilers so I went with the rear lip spoiler. Take a look at my profile, the rear lip spoiler is nasty!
|
HomicidalApple,
Did you already purchase the spoiler? If not then you may want to start a swap thread in your region or in the for sale section. I'm sure you will find someone that wants to trade trunks. |
Yea i purchased it like 2 weeks ago, i actually just looked at fedex 10 seconds ago and it is on a truck on its way to deliver it to my house.
I had no idea that someone would actually trade a trunk with a spoiler for a trunk witthout one... does that seriously happen? |
Think it took me 6+ months to find someone willing to swap my trunk with spoiler for theirs. For those that want to go without spoiler or another aftermarket spoiler that uses different holes or the MS spoiler then it saves them several hundred dollars to swap. To properly fill the holes they needed to be welded shut and the trunk needs to be painted inside and outside.
|
Oh thats true i c your point. I didnt think about that...
Yea mine is set to be here today and im stoked about that though! |
