My 2004 RX8
I bought the car last fall and drove it for a few weeks before storing it for the winter. I just took the car out of storage last week and have started to get it ready for the summer.
I painted the rims gold as well as added a Turbo XS midpipe and catback. I am also color matching the emblems with the rims. I hope to finish the emblems as well as the center caps tomorrow.
I got the car waxed tonight, but as soon as I can get a polisher I need to clay, polish, and rewax the car. The paint needs some tlc. (I am very picky!)
I am hoping to have the car on the road next weekend. After that I will be bringing it to get a windshield banner done. I am going to do black background and mazda in a gold that matches the rims. Then I will also be tinting the car. Thats all the plans until I can get some more cash together then I will be getting a AEM intake, short shifter and a cobb access port.

Not everyone will like them I understand, all comments welcome! I wouldn't mind some more comments about the banner, not to sure if I want it or not.
I like the way the rims came out, sometime different and I love the sound of the exhaust!

good start!
I'm not a big fan of the banner but if must have one, don't put "MAZDA" as I feel like it is too plain. Maybe put something small and centered across the top like 3 rotors (or 2 in this case lol) something similar to what angeljoelv has on the bottom of his mazdaspeed bumper

Here are some updated pictures. The emblems and center caps are done and on as well the car has a coat of wax. I think I am going to try and pick up a polisher soon and see if I can do a full detail on the car.
I can only get the pictures to insert as a url. I cant get them to show up. If someone can explain to me I will edit this post and fix it.

Thats what I was trying before. They dont show up for me. Here they are done like that anyway to see if you can see see them like this.
Edit: For some reason they wouldn't work when they were uploaded through imageshack, so I re uploaded them all to photobucket and they appear to be working.
