Could be my next RX-8

flying up on Friday to see it in person. If all goes well, I will drive to the port and put in a fairy boat and bring it back to Okinawa


Only thing I dont like is the red inside

damn that thing is just simply f*%&ing beautiful. the color and the rims look amazing and it even has clear corners already. i can see how the interior does kind of stand out. black leather or the grey cloth would be much better on the inside. can wait to see more pics. stupid question but what blue is that?

Very beautiful I agree that the interior is kind of odd with that color. Great find.

What size tires and rims are those? I'm liking how the tire stretches over the rim.

last i checked, in the us at least, u can't get phantom blue w/ the gt interior black/ red trim. do they offer it WITH that option in japan?!!

well, if i were u, i'd find a custom auto upsholstrey shop and have them color the red portions blue to match the exterior. ur car will be FREAKING SWEET after that.
