MS kit coming SOON !

Strakes on Yellow
 

Here are a couple of pics of my 8 with strakes and dark chrome wheels! :)

The strakes look good! Somehow I was thinking they wouldn't look right. I'm contemplating body color strakes, too.
Can't wait to see the MS kit, Pete!

I love it :)

It looks like there aren't many LY 8's out the with any mods. We were daring enough as a group to get a YELLOW car but apparently for most of us it's stopped there, huh? Prove me wrong folks, Let's see some more yellows! :D

My LY 8 is in the link below. Enjoy!

Bought our Brand New 2004 Yellow in 2005
 

Hello members,

I was happy to find this board to see that our "rare yellow" color so admirably represented. We just bought our yellow RX8 last night with 38 miles on the O.D. :) The local dealer still had a bunch of 2004's (all manual) still on the lot, of which one was my wife's FAVORITE color yellow. Since this will be 99% her car and she has been wanting this for a LOOOOOONG time, I must say she's tickled yellow. They said that this was the LAST NEW YELLOW IN THE ST. LOUIS, MO AREA. We couldn't believe that they changed yellow for white in 2005. That was both a good and bad. Good because it makes the yellow rare, and bad because the yellow blows the white out of the water when it comes to looks (just our opinion). Our car is loaded too, including sun roof and spoiler. We have only seen 2 other yellows on the roadways within the past year. Therefore, yes, we love that it is a rare color. The windows are getting tinted tonight (35% driver/passenger & 20% rear and quarters). I ordered the moonroof deflector last night too, since we like that addition. It is missing only the front flares, but in due time we may get those. Pictures will be up on here soon, so check back. My wife really wants to deck the inside with yellow tones.

First of all, she wants a yellow/black leather shifter knob. Any recommendations?

I've also seen on person on here who had the floormats with yellow RX8 writing. Where can those be found?

In regards to the polished rear and front rotary accents (aftermarket), do those just pop on?

How do the fender strakes (aftermarket) go on?

Does anyone have the door edge guards on their vehicle? If so, are the color specific and do you recommend them in Yellow or Black for the RX8?

That's about all for right now. I just can't wait to get home to have the tinting started. The dealers tinter makes house calls, which is GREAT for $175! Glad to be a member!

Congrats...AND MAKE WITH THEM PICS!!

Have you lowered your car?

Well, if your talking to me... then yes!! Tein S-Tech's, which I have to say is about an almost perfect drop... not tooo low, just right. :)

posted these before, wish i can take better pics :p

Very cool! Welcome aboard. I want to see somebody paint the plastic/aluminum-look trim along the center console. That would add some yellow to the interior. Something to consider. (My seats have yellow inserts, so it wouldn't work for me.)

Here is one of the many of mine. I'll post diffrent pics when my new rims sho up !:D

You have one beautiful car man! Where did you purchase your wheels and tires and how much were they?

thnx! :D. Got the wheels from tirerack and the tires from discounttiredirect. All together I think it was around 2200.

heres my yellow one with the GM Falken Circuit Specs on it. This is the yellow one thats going to be in the new Eagle One Brochures

What offset are your rims? And what tire are you running?
Thanks

42mm offset and 245/40/18s

that car kinda looks like an old tube racer. 4 open wheels, a seat, steering wheel, and a big engine.

Long live yellow!!! too bad they dont offer it this year.

Hey, I believe that's me. If you mean these (see pic), I had them custom made by GGBailey. I'm very happy with them, but I've also been thinking of getting black and yellow dotted cocomats too (for the bad weather days.)

I've also wanted a yellow and black shiftknob for sometime. But the problem is I really like the rotary design of the stock knob. I'm toying with the idea of buying a second stock knob and taking it to a custom leather shop to have them do it up in two tone yellow and black.

Wow! Very nice shot.

I think this would looks sweet with those floor mats too, or by themself for that matter.

~Pics of our NEW Yellow~
 

Well folks, below are the pics that I promised of your new purchase last week. We are awaiting the rear rotary accent and the yellow door edge guards to come in the mail, since they have already been ordered. We also had our windows tinted 4 days ago. 20% on the rear and quarters and 35% on the passenger/drivers sides which is law. We've also added a chrome bordered license plate holder with a tinted faceplate covering. Since it is law to have the front plate on in Missouri, it really looks great! We wanted to buy the best plate covering to mask a normal plate and let me tell you, this is the one. They can be purchased at Advance Auto Parts locally. They not stocked long since they are a very popular seller. We would like to hear about speaker upgrade options, since we don't think that the stereo or speakers are the best in this vehicle. I personally like infinity speakers, but what do you all think? How about the stereo? Do you think that could be the sound quality that is lacking, or could it be mainly the speakers? Thanks!

Control yourself mod! She did say that was her at her 'b/f's parking lot'. :p

It's so weird seeing all these yellows when I've only seen one in the road ever and I must see like five-ten 8s a week around here.

Here's my niece modeling my new yellow.

not a horrible pic at all, car looks great :D

Kids & Yellows go well :) , here is one of my son I liked alot.

^^^ You liked it because he was cleaning the Bugs off right? ;)
I wish i had someone clean my car for me!

He does wheels also :D

The cool thing is those photos were not set up. I was washing the car with him outside and he just copied what I was doing.

Dont forget the Shinkas?

dang I miss my car :(

here is mine. this one is not to old.

dang your car is slammed, looks sweet!

here some updated pics of my yellow. :)

So you sold your house for an 8.

That means you'll be at Seven Stock right?

thanks i like it! i will have to sell those springs though when i go with a body kit. it's a little low for a kit.
