Take a look at mine if you come to our meet this Friday, it's darker in the rears. Like Tournapart said, that way it only looks like you have the rears tinted.

Hi, I'm new to the forums. I've tried searching for a service manual but haven't found any links that work yet. Can someone send me the service manual for a 2005 rx8 or something comparable?

Thanks!

I'll probably be there. Still on stock wheels though, the Advans are taking a bit longer to come in.

...Or it looks like you have the fronts tinted lighter than the rears...

I can't make it tonight. Had to work about 11 hours today, so I'm about ready for a nice cold beer, and to fall asleep watching tv. Hopefully next week! Please get pics of the 8 with the custom paint!

Berkeley people are ********.

Some dude backed out hit my car while it was parked.

I now have a nice rash across the driver side rear bumper.

Got touch up paint, 2000 grit wet sandpaper and some polish on order. I figure might as well try to fix it myself because body shops are going to repaint the entire bumper anyways.

Sorry Mike, the guy with the orange 8 went to LA this morning, so no pic this time. I'll see if I can get him out again for next week.

dontfeedthenerd, when you buff it out use an electric buffer, hand polishing it won't work. Sorry to hear that... That's why for the first year, I park farrrrr away as possible.

Lyian, I'll see ya tomorrow!

Parking far away and in the middle of nowhere is no guarantee your car won't be hit. Remember what happened to me at San Jose Airport?

HAHA, I was thinking of installing the tow hooks so if someone bumps me from behind, they'll get more damage.

I'm doing well. Need to make it out to one of these meets. I see a lot of rx-8 around here but I don't think they are on this forum.
