Ok I posted a few weeks ago saying I finally got an RX-8. It was bone stock when I got it. An 05 with only 15k miles. So far I've powdercoated the rims, window tint, RX-8 Store exhaust and the IPOD adapter.

This site is awesome.

 

Looking good. All black rims look great on WWP. Any plans for some clear corners?

 

How much did it cost to powdercoat the rims? I've been thinking about doing this.

 

Thanks. Yeah I want to get the corners. I dunno what to get next though. Either short shifter, corners or strakes.

The powdercoating depends on where you go. I called around to like 6 places and the one in my hometown wanted 100 a rim. I found a place that did the sandblasting and powdercoating for 175 total. Remember you have to take the tires off and rebalance and all so that was around 100. So it cost me about 275 total to do it.

 

Thanks. Your car looks clean man I love the black rims on white, looks great!

 

Nice ride man. Always wanted to get the white pearl.

 

looks great, i like whitewater pearl!! any interior pics coming? is it a touring or grand touring?

 

Thanks guys. It's the Grand Touring.

 

beautiful rx8, smoke those corners

 

thats really sharp!! how is the red leather to keep clean?

 

Not bad at all. I bought some Armor All leather wipes that I keep in the trunk and run em over the seats every once in a while.

 

How did you get the red leather in white pearl??? I couldn't find any around, I even asked mazda dealer about it and he said they dont put red leather in white pearls so I went with sunlight silver.

 

^^ mines was special customize and damn i tought i was the only one with a wwp and red interior

 

^^ nope. ToothFairy has it also

 

I didn't know they didn't come like that. I found it at a dealer used.

 

same with ToothFairy

and btw ryder, the car looks good! i like it's boots

 

Nice ride
I'd get the AFE SS before clear corners or strakes
Function over form

 

WWP is the fastest color.

And +1 for the AFE SS. best mod ever

 

white power!!!!

 

Blue Power!!!

 

Whats with the carpets? Look interesting

 

Well they are supposed to be clear. And they were in the store. But when I took em out they apparently glow in the dark or something or the sun makes em change to blue when they get sun. Weird. And I didn't feel like taking em back because they're easy to clean.
