My New RX8
1 Attachment(s)
Hello all. I just got this on Friday. I bought it from one of my customers. 07 with 3500 miles on it. yes, that's not a misprint, 3,500 miles. I really like this car so far. I had a 1991 Nissan 300ZX as my last sports car and got rid of that about five years ago. This thing just ROCKS.......

Arrrrrghhhhhh
I still cannot think what I should do about the rims? I'm pretty certain they shouldnt stay stock but the stormy blue is such a funny colour, it's so awesome by itself, what colour rims? I am thinking Dark Gunmetal and the Red Caliper Paint ? or Black and the Red Caliper Paint ? And what about the shift knob, why cant us Manumatic people get cool leather looking shifters..... with boots too :D |

i dont think black rims will look nice on stormy blue, actualy before i judge it id have to see one, iv never seen a stormy blue with black rims but i think silver stands out more.

cheers mate :) , here in Australia the rims are called XHP Boost(although prob re-named in parts of the world)....and yes have been a fan since i had them on my last VR8....although i decided to wack them on, even though i have future plans for black SSR Pro II or something similar...And when i do, the vents will go...but for now i sort of like them, as it makes the side profile stand out a little. Although appreciate ur comments of course :) , and know it comes down to personal preference... Cheers, ZOOMBY - ZZOOM |
Here's an update:
The finished pics of my car: http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/2...2560gp7.th.jpghttp://img258.imageshack.us/img258/8...2562ue5.th.jpghttp://img204.imageshack.us/img204/3...2575hg3.th.jpghttp://img204.imageshack.us/img204/3...2574gq1.th.jpghttp://img207.imageshack.us/img207/8...2559to1.th.jpghttp://img258.imageshack.us/img258/2...2561rx3.th.jpg Turned out better than I initially thought it would. I sanded the calipers with a B&D mouse sander to smooth them out a little bit before I painted them.

Here's a photochop of Red caliper paint & clear corners. I'm planning on doing this to my stormy blue in the upcoming weeks (items already ordered). I can post real pics after I finish if you like. |
Figured I'd bump this thread, cause it looks like all the others colors got one.
I just picked up my '07 SB GT this weekend, will be posting pics soon. |

I think Stormy Blue with a lip spoiler, clear corners and some tasteful, dark rims would be the best looking of all RX8 models. I saw one today in person at the dealer, and even 'stock' it looked amazing. They already had piles of magazines advertizing the newer, 09 models, and I was quite saddened by it. Standing next to the 08 Stormy Blue, I felt I was standing next to a last one of the great, an amazingly beautiful model that was created and destroyed in a few short years. But, then, I will cherish owning a classic, for many years to come.

Remember I asked around GOLD RIMS on Stormy Blue? Well SCREW THAT!
ENKEI GTC-01 Hyber BLACK it is! http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...SC00274_up.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...SC00311_up.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...SC00002_up.jpg |
This color has to be my fav. I saw one in person the other day (first time I had seen this color). It was absolutely amazing. Anyone wanna trade a stormy blue for a sunlight silver:lol:
