Kane, at curiosity.. are there that many (if any) dealerships of any kind out there? Just realized I'm not sure how the whole Hawii thing works. If there were no Mazda dealers, would you need to pay extra to get your 8 'imported' (if applies) to you or no because you're still a U.S. citizen??

Dude... you do know Hawaii is a state right? And there are plenty dealerships out there. Hawaii is not some third world island.

I believe the "if applies" implies that I know it's a state and the question itself proves I have never been there and do not know how big it is nor even know what part he is on. Thank you for the geography lesson.

Edit (not wanting to raid Kane's thread): Thank you for the below response.

Yeah, there are two dealerships here for Mazda's.

They do try and jack the prices on you though... especially for anything they think is "hard to get".

They match well in real life; in that pic they do look weird.

I am thinking piano black might be the next iteration if I get bored of them.

You ever get nervous leaving your cars in the car port? Sweet looking modified rides always tempt would be thieves. Can you install a garage door it to close it in?

Our hood is pretty safe; the community is gated.

Those pencils are at Faille's house - and the erasers are good at removing RTV... that i the only time I have used them -

There is always a test at the end - but it usually taken outside called "turning the car over and checking for leaks..."

I am lowered on Tein S Techs with 19" wheels and a VERY aggressive offset +28; had to have the fenders rolled n stuff.

Thanks Tim and Company; we have a helmet cam here that we are trying to put on a car to get good video of the 7 and 8 while we are breaking in the new mods... I have never even seen mine driven until the other day.... HA HA
