absolutely stunning. Congrats on your 8. My Copper Red was my first rotary too.
A word of warning though the sand leather seats are a b!tch to keep clean. Enjoy.

Beautiful color, I actually saw one on the road the other day, it looks custom made. Congrats and welcome to the Shinka brother/sisterhood.

As much as I hate covering my seats with the OEM Covers, I do and they still look new.
I have a 9 year old son that reminds me of the character "Pig-Pen"
in the Charlie Brown comics...

I wish Mazda would make tan colored OEM's, perhaps someone makes custom seat covers...?

Thanks, I'll have to get a digital shot sometime. I agree with the seats, thats ok tho, once they go I found a local place in MN to do a custom black/dark tan or some version of leather to replace with. Great website.

Btw, does anyone have any experience with installing subwoofers? The Bose system is pretty good, but I'd like to add a little on the low end. I would think it needs only a 6 or 8inch woofer and should be fine.
Thanks

Papa,

Just a note on the tan/alcantara seats. Part of what makes a Shinka a Shinka!! Mine stay pretty clean but I baby my car and only take it out on weekends. No kids either but thats my situation no everyones.

I would leave the seats as is as you paid for them in the $4K premium to get a Shinka. And the ladies love em.... So smooth the suede...
