Little Phil: I got the fasteners coming for the front bumper and mud guard. They should be here soon.
I went into the body parts section of the Mazda manual and the corner lights show a screw and a nut but no part numbers. I guess we can just add a small bolt/screw and nut to hold in the clear corners. I am also looking for some rear fasteners for the bumper to exhaust shroud.

chit.......I got busy and did not read the forum before I went...Well they are just down the street and I can go anytime........Picked up the parts now all I need to do is install them.
I will not be at work tomorrow so I will post this today:
Merry Christmas to all
Please have a safe Holiday and I hope you all get the presents from "Santa" that you desire.

A No Host Dinner is served and prices range from $10.00 and up for traditional German faire and the beer flows at all times. A German band plays and the noise, laughing and crying from the group almost drowns out the band. If you remember in years past, parking is a problem at the Hoffbrau House so this year there will be two easy alternative ways offered to get to the Hoffbrau House. A free shuttle service will be offered by the Orleans to and from the location (tip extra). Again this year there will be Limo Service available from the Orleans to the Hoffbrau house and back again. The limo service will be $30.00 per person if paid in advance and $35.00 (tip included) after May 1,2011. There is a limit of 20 persons for the limo service.

SCENIC CRUSE10am until 12 noon:
We will have a short cruise to Red Rock and it will take less than 30 minutes to get there and there is a paved, 13 mile, one-way scenic drive (open from dawn to dusk), within the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area boundaries. There is a fee for using this road of less than $10.00 (should be $7.00 but you know the park service). Very Scenic, very twisty and a good place to say good by to Las Vegas. The end of the loop is within 5 miles of the express way in case you are leaving after the cruise
End of WHiV4...Hope you all had a good time

PARKING
Orleans is providing an area that will be watched very closely in the West Parking Garage. We will be parking in the area where the executives of the Hotel park. It is well patrolled and the cameras do work. Security is planning on having a foot patrol thru the parking area along with random vehicle patrols.
In the coming weeks we may post some additional information on the meet.
Swag will be available very soon.

Urgent!!
I got a big dilemma, I am honorably seeking someone's assistance in the following ways. I need to get my car re-registered and get it smogged, this week. My problem is that I have a gutted CAT, and I would not pass the smog test. What I had in mind is that hopefully I could borrow someone's CAT for about 30 mins, so I could get my smog done and pass it. I would definitely pay you for letting me use it or even part with one of my mods (R Magic eyelids, possibly), I will also do all the work by swapping the parts, and put it all back together after I finish getting the smog test done. I really would appreciate it, if somebody wouldn't mind helping me out. I'm usually not the one asking for help, because I'm usually the one offering help to everybody. But, I'm just about out of options, because I can't afford paying for a brand new CAT because they cost over 1,000$, brand new. Once again, it would be greatly appreciated if someone could offer their assistance in helping me get this done.
Please, PM me or you can call at 702-369-0453 (Leave name, message, and number if you get the answering machine)

need advice on spoiler install
Hey fellow members.
My very cool wife gave me a tasteful rear wing spoiler for my '07 RX-8 this past Xmas.
Can anyone offer advice on where to get it installed? I wouldn't dare try to do it myself.
Any help appreciated. Thanks!

^^ Painted stock wing? Should be like $100 to go to any paint shop for install... if not less. If it needs to be painted then materials will be more. Metropolitan Paint painted and installed my and Phil's wing.
Armin, I'd lend you mine but 4 of us tried to take it off once and couldn't get the damn bolts to budge. We couldn't get a saw up there to cut them either. There are mid pipes with cats out there for way less than $1000... you might want to think of researching those.
