nice^ bet you're getting a lot of grip with those There's another bay area 8 (PUR NRG) here running those with a ms kit (just in case you're ever planning to get the kit), and here's some of my updated pics.

I think speeddemon's yellow 8 looks better than the car that has the full Mazdaspeed kit. There's just something sharper and more sophisticated about it. Then again, I don't like the second shot because it shows too much of the metal holding up the spoiler. Guess I'd just have to get used to that. But that strakes, clear corners, and rim combination is just sharp.

Also on that second yellow 8 that has been dropped...it looks great in that profile shot with the rims and all, but that lip spoiler doesn't look right to me. Nice front bumper though. "Ferrari-ish" from the front.

thanks Jerky!

I to love the way the car looks. have you seen some of the other pics of it from previous post? maybe there is a better shot that does not show off the wing to much.

again thanks for the compliments.



I also love zooms kit. I love the ferrari effect. If i were to kit mind, I think i would try for that! :D

Saturday I purchased a yellow 8 too!! No pics yet. Hopefully this weekend.

As I was doing my research on what I wanted, I KNEW as soon as I saw the yellow that was IT!!

She's spending the night at the Mazda dealer, tomorrow she'll get an oil change and a safety inspection (I didn't buy her from a Mazda authorized dealer), so I wanna make sure she's sound.

The noob that had her before me switched out her wheels/tires, but didn't put the monitors back on, so now the TPMS light flashes... and flashes... and flashes... and flashes Makes me NUTS!! However, the Mazda dealer told me that since the TPMS is a federally mandated system, the dealer that sold her to me is responsible for putting it back together!! YEAH!!! <sux for him>

I'll get pics asap!

Hey Canary,

I'm jealous. Yellow 8's look sweet with tinted windows.

You even make the black bumper work with the whole bumble-bee look.

Black eights don't tint well IMO.

Luckily all those yellows are in Australia. Won't have to worry about anything like that down here. I think I only see other yellow 8s maybe once every two months or so around here. It's great.
