Wow! Those are really well done ... and very quick too. One thing to consider is that many of us have tinted windows and the black lettering may be lost. Particularly with the lines behind the club wording. Would need something light for tints.

i was also thinking about some kind of colour fade, or 2-tone.... needs a touch of class.
in the meantime i printed one last night on my lazerjet, taped it in place just to take a look, and daaaamn... it looks good..
i'm legal limit in the front, and a little darker in the back.... ( i think thats about 30% ) i'll put a pic up later for debate.

personally i'm going to put one on the inside of my pop out windows, so unless you're already drooling over the car, you won't even see it....

Though maybe it wasn't me because you probably would have noticed my car is almost exactly (down to the wipers!?!) the same as yours with perhaps a little more tint. Saying nice car man might be a little redundant.

batmbile. Just an idea, if you are just planning to have weekly local coffee meets, why not do it on a weeknight? I would like to attend a few, if not all of these but i can definitly say i wont be attending any if they are all on saturdays. Like i said, if its just for coffee there is very little reason we cant do that during the week.

- an excellent idea! how about a thursday ? ( fridays, most people have plans, and mondays suck too much, )
and i was thinking twice a month... or maybe more if the weather is nice... it would be fun to roar around with even 3 or 4 of us... i hope we can find a few more local owners... i know they're out there. ..
on a side note - has anyone ever seen a black FD 7 around here? it sounded mean, and i only caught a glimpse.

Shinka edition, or, atleast it appeared to be in the rain... last night.. around 9.45pm.. going west bound on 401. You were too busy chatting it up on the phone while driving in the rain.

Saw a SS 8 on Old Kennedy Rd. in Markham at 6:25 am on my way to work. Only catch a glimpse, enough to notice no spoiler. I believe it is an automotive shop. Anyone here?

Saw 2 more rx8s today, one in white, one in black, going north bound on Erin Mills around 3.30pm.
Good thing: their eyes were on the road ahead
not so good thing: no awareness of another 8 driver saying Hi

Get a handsfree kit and use that.
I wanted to wave at the 8 driver but didnt want to add to this distraction.

Saw a 2009 white 8 parked up by Wendy's near the Walmart in Whitby north (hwy 12) around 8:20pm ... then say a red 8 passing in front of Walmart at 8:42pm (dude and dudette). Out with my wife plus my son so my 8 stayed home (two riders max in my car). Every time I am out in the wife's car I see 8's around!!

I'm a newbie here and just came across this thread. In UK 8 owners don't seem to let on to each other boo. But to be honest you don't see many. I saw one parked up yesterday, Sunlight Silver.
I've got a red 8 but trading it in for the new 09 model which I should get next week. I still can't decide on colour though, I can't even sleep cos it's on my mind constantly. It's between crystal white pearl and sparkling black mica. They're both gorgeous and the new wheels on the 09 8 are beautiful.
Has anyone seen any of these colours on the new 09 R3 model in the flesh and what did you think??
Thanks

Listen ... I have had my days of moving the seat forward for the kids or their friends. They've gotten too big now anyway. If I can't sit the way I like when I drive ... then I don't use my car. Back seats are for misc items I need to take with me and that's all, just two empty seats with my sub woofer in between sticking out from the trunk area. Oh yeah ... nothing goes in the trunk either other than the stereo, inflation kit and one bottle of oil!
