I just noticed that my windows sticker says "Snowflake White Pearl"?is that a differ color than "Whitewater"?

 

nope, same thing as far as i know. i think mine said that too.

 

I know that Snowflake White Pearl used to be the color name in Japan while the US was known as Whitewater Pearl........but in 2006 they started calling the US color Snowflake White Pearl as well. Now I don't know this for a fact, but as far as I can tell there's no difference in the color itself. I wondered the same thing when I bought the car and so I bought the JDM MS kit because the US distributors only sell whitewater pearl kits. I just wanted to be certain of a good paint match........which is absolutely perfect.

 

here you go

 

I want to share this with all the White's out there. I have read multiple posts about what car wax is the best out there. I think one is being overlooked. It's called Rejex! My brother and I found it a few years ago and ever since then, that's all I have used. I swear it will out last anything out there. I seriously only need to use it ONCE a year (water still beads up). It comes off as easy as you put it on. It's used on airplanes. Here is a link about it.

For those of you that try it, you won't be disappointed! If my memory serves me right, it's somewhere around $25 a bottle and you get about 2 cars out of it.

 

well now since im not black anymore.. im white now its crystal white. so why not share it here. =)

 

welcome =)

 

The rest of us knew that white was better when we bought our cars.... it sucks that it took you this long to figure it out. HA! Just messin. Looks like you've done good work. Not really my style, but it's definitely a head turner.

Oh and obviously it's not true......... "Once you go black..."

 

So what do you guys think looks better on a white 8.

Black rims or white rims?

 

Well Konig has black wheels that look DAMN good..... but I've never seen white on an 8. I would probably say that given the choice of black or white....black would win. Course either of the two would need to have a polished lip.

 

nah imo that kills it, black wheels can have a polished lip on a white car but you definately dont have chrome mixed with whtie, that looks too ghetto and kills the racer look. cool for a 74' mark VII but not for your rx8

 

It's very hard to find a white set of rims that have the same pearl finish. You could custom paint them if you were pimp enough though. I think it could look very good if done right. We've all watched Unique Whips - you know what I'm talking about...

Personally I prefer Bronze or Gold rims on a white car. Minus the polished lips.

 

Ok so I lied, I HAVE seen an 8 with white wheels.......it's the Mazdaspeed 8 that has them.......and I'm not a big fan.

 

whitehot has white volks on his white rx8. it looks really nice but ive always liked black wheels.

but now that ive seen lazy's 8 im thinking of repainting the wheels gold, not black, later on when they accumulate more rock chips.

 

How in the world do your wheels accumulate rock chips? I can see curb rash, but not rock chips.

 

i think its mostly from driving in the canyons in malibu. i dont exactly know how the chips get there, but they do...i have very few atm. HRE's paint seems very delicate.

ok ok, i just want an excuse to change the color of my wheels =)

 

You know what looks sick? The candy gold finish they had on certain Volk wheels at the Tokyo Auto Salon. (I'll see if I can find a pic.) Too bad they aren't releasing that to the public. I would love a set of candy gold LE28's or something.

 

I like black~

 

just got it a week ago :D

 

Congrats man! Love the pics!

 

brand new pics! enjoy!

man now I cant decide wether I still want white wheels or black now

 

i should stop lookin at this thread...haha makes me regret of getting black...i mean dont get me wrong..i love my car, but the white looks so damn nice...haha
