Alright so here is a few 8's I've spotted around san ho...

spotted tonight... white 06ish with no apearence package, heavy tint and advan sticker(s) right behind the gills

white 09 seems to live around nickel city, I think I've caught a lady driving it before

loaded Grey GT with the strakes that lives around downtown -- near san carlos that I pass every day I ride my bike to work... I tell it that it's a pretty rx8.... but only when mine isn't looking.

Totally agree. After I looked at the pic closer, I saw that and thought the product must be poorly made and the company oblivious.
