About every two months. Sometimes more often, just because I feel like it, it doesn't really need it. Yellow is pretty low maintenance IMO, just like white. On the other hand, it doesn't get a deep radiant shine like black or red when waxed.

Not popular? Obviously you haven't been RX-8 watching in Vegas Baby. I was so proud to have one of the first Lightning Yellow's off the lot...Now they are EVERYWHERE! I mean all over...I had to get a "Vanity Plate" just so my friends could stop waving and honking at every yellow one they saw! Funny how location has everything to do with the brightest color Mazda offered!

definitely not common here, seems the duller colors are more popular here for all cars, not just the 8. I see vettes around that are silver, red, dark blue, same with mustangs, 350z, g35, etc. the brighter colors are very rare around Austin

You can order just about any color combo you want.

Ok..how does the clear bra stay on? I don't get it? I mean I understand the purpose, but I can't see it in any pics. It seems to good to be true. And BTW, what is the manufacturer that you guys used and how much $...not that $ matters at this point after filling in 12 chips after hubby does 128mph on the freeway last week. The parts guy at my Mazda has an 8 too and says fill in the chips using a toothpick or a needle...any other suggestions? Leather needle is working great but...man it takes 4EVER!
Also, anyone have custom leather yellow/black covers made? Regrets? I'm not sure I want to spend the $ to have the custom seats made.

He's as bad as Can
http://www.xpel.com/products/paint.asp has plenty of info and is what is on my 8. I would post a photo but you can't see it in photo's. You only notice the seems when your about a foot from th car. This is not a DIY and will cost a couple hundred FYI.

To see what the bra looks like, check out the clear material down on the front of the rear fenders.
Filling the chips with something small like a toothpick keeps it from running over or building up too high. Just do it bit by bit.
I love the yellow & black leather seats - absolutely no regrets. Better leather than stock and I like the leather much more than the stock cloth I had.

Sprint Springs. 1.8" drop. I love them. it is low enough that i have to be very carefull pulling out of driveways, and speedbumps. but I have had pretty good luck. I am a firly carefull and aware driver.
