Ok, time to start giving out back rubs..... gotta keep the internet folks happy.

From Kimi: "You'll get pictures soon enough"

She's mean.... but in a good way.

BTW - the FD belongs to Faille now; he is my dive buddy and the whole FD thing started as a Dollar Bet; but instead of WAITING for me to finish it; he took it as soon as he got home; he couldn't wait - LOL

It is all good; we are still going to do the rest of his build - I promised.

Thanks guys!

It means a lot to me; this was the one time I did a car RIGHT IMO; spec-ing the whole thing out before I bought the car; and we only had a few changes made at the last minute; but I love it!

I still have a few To Do items; but they are small and for the most part the car is 99% done and won't be changing much.

I just looked back to see the 77 shades of blue my car is. HAHA

And not one of them really captures what it looks like in real life.

Oh stop it, we already said it was gorgeous, no reason to gloat! LOL I know what you mean man. I feel the same way when i look at my Nordic Green. That deep dark green shimmer with the dark black accents and tint, i find myself staring at it all the time, and i have had it for how long now? LOL I can say though that i have yet to see an 8 your color yet in person. I can imagine its beauty.

sucks about your battery
its undecided for me, when you look at your car as a whole i really like that the paint is matched with the rims. but then if i look at them just as gold fender vents, i'm not feelin it.

but either way your car is beautiful. and that picture of your paint is just amazing good job

I know the feeling; but black plastic was a no go; and the only options were matched to the wheels or the body; and the PB paint is not cheap... plus I wanted them to contrast a bit - I think it looks really nice in real life if a bit loud.

Your 8 and your 7 are both seriously sweet examples of a rotary powered car!

Honestly, you have the best looking rx8 i've ever seen. Don't get upset if you see a replica of ur car just in tigrey. You wont be coming to california anytime soon right?

In all honesty, your car is gorgeous man. I love it. Everything. 5 stars.
