Finally!!! got my rx-8 :D PICS

Ok so ive been working as much as possible doing everything i could while the anticipation was building for a little over a year now since i decided i was going to buy an rx8 becuase its the best car ever. So finally got it Titanium grand touring 6 speed.
Also id like some input on what stuff i should spend my spare cash on to pimp it a little bit i know i want a spoiler i cant get mazda speed kit cuz too many speed bumps in my city and such. Im thinking about some rims maybe. Well heres some pics

Congrats on the 8, very nice looking. I myself just picked up basically the same kind of 8, just sunlight silver. I see your iPod in the last picture. If you don't mind, is that the $99 adapter? And is that plugged into your cig lighter or what? How did you get it hooked up to your deck etc etc. Are you able to control the songs and everything from the actualy deck/steering controls?

Anyways, congrats!

it is the 99 dollar hook up it barely touches when i shift to 5th i just pluggd it in and its a fm set up so i set the fm station on the white peace and just go to that channel and it plays on my car. I cant change the songs from the steering wheel but thats all u do is just plug it in the cigareette thing and your good to go. If you have any other questions id be glad to help.

it looks pretty good with no spoiler, but it would probably look even better with the MS wing.

Very nice. I think this is the first rx8 I've seen with appearance package, strakes, and not rear spoiler. I like it. Is this a new 05? Congrats!!

Thanks everyone. And yes i plan to get clear corners soon.
Nope its an 04 i got it used 12k miles for 24,500. What else should i get besides clear corners im thinking about the ms wing but not sure if it might look goofy without the skirts.

Congratulations! I agree that the tit-grey cars could use new rims. The stock finish doen't provide enough contrast against the paint. Enjoy!

grats... i think the tit. with appearance/no spoiler is the sharpest combination off the lot... good choice

i have the same ipod setup in mine... i have no idea on earth how u shift into fifth with it like that... if u use the extension bar you can shift right under the ipod with plenty of clearance and it puts the ipod more easily at your disposal... you might wanna try it

I love your enthusiasm for the car, shorty! I hope you continue to enjoy it through and through. By the way, where are you located? From the looks of those pines, it seems like you're in the south. Am I right?

Your pics make me wish I kinda got the appearance package now

PS. Did your windows come pre-tinted???

New 8

Shorty

Looks great!!! I like the titanium color. Very sharp.

I do like the look of the 8 w/o the spolier. Smooth and clean. I would just add the front splash guards.
