New one of my 05 Black Cherry in the sunshine over the weekend......





Installed clear corners the day after the photo was taken. No photo yet but it looks sooo much better without the orange.

 

Updated pic! ENJOY :D

 

kewl fx on the photo^

 

Just got my 05 black cherry shinka last Friday. I haven't had time to get any good pics of it on my own, but this is the pic the dealership took of it when I found it. I love it!!!!!

 

It just doesn't do the color justice unless you have the sun to your back.

 

Ahhhhhhhh, I love our cars! Can't wait to put my new toys on, and then I will be basically done with my car.

 

Updated pic of my shinka

 

Reventon rims?

 

I love those rims.

 

Yes :D i wanted something a little different than the usual enki's or silver rims

 

No way Gitfiddle you have an 05 Shinka too!?! We're gonna get some great pix of the two of them together at the Vegas meet Love the strakes BTW.

 

How much did they put you back.

 

they cant be real reventon rims theyre too narrow but they look hella good

 

Hell yeah! I might have to reinstall my front grill LEDs though for some nice night shots. And thanks on the strakes - i might be getting rid of them soon though, debating on getting carbon fiber fender vents.

And they're replica reventon rims, real lambo reventon rims would be a very scary price tag

 

Here's some from Bloomington, IN last fall...big things coming up soon.

 

juiced those are nice pix. gorgeous scenery to set off the gorgeous vehicle

 

Very nice indeed Juiced.

I'd just like to know how folks avoid rock chips. I must be a chip magnet (which I guess makes up for not being a chick magnet

 

About the rock chips

From the Mazda Website:

Coinciding with the opening of the 2005 Chicago Auto Show, Mazda today announced its RX-8 "SHINKA" Special Edition is now available at local Mazda dealers. The Mazda RX-8 "SHINKA" Special Edition takes its name from the Japanese word meaning "evolution" or "transformation," and adds design style and performance to the highly successful sportscar. Only 2,150 "SHINKA" Special Edition cars will be produced.

"We’ve taken the RX-8 – a car already lauded by customers and media alike – to a new level of sophistication and exclusivity with the ‘SHINKA’ Special Edition," said Weldon Munsey, RX-8 vehicle line manager for Mazda North American Operations (MNAO). "Improved ride and handling capabilities giving it the speed and handling to literally dodge all rock chips as they come flying at you like your baby momma looking for her next check making SHINKA’ Special Edition the ultimate RX-8."

 

^ LMFAO Oh that it were true. I need a starship deflector for even my sub-light RX-8 excursions.

 

Pfft I need rock climbing capabilities on mine >.< The other day I saw another rx8 pull up to an intersection as I was passing it - the first one ive seen driving in my town. So i do a quick turn onto a side road to catch up and ended up with a 40 mph surprise onto a dirt road full of potholes

 

I havnt Picked her up yet. But im picking her up this friday! I crashed my 04 titanium gray rx8 and decided to go all out on my new one.

I would like to know how you like the handling of the Shinka compared to the 04.
