I dont like the new C-West sides... far to busy for me. Scott.... buddy.... love the rims, but red on red sorry I just dont dig it. I am also over the lip on rim fad.

I also happen to have those which I could sell you... though I'll just toss them in with the rims if you want them lol. Never heard from that guy interested in the clears and my fog light bulbs, so more than willing to toss them in considering how much of my car you've already bought.

I have never been a fan of clears but maybe if I see them on I will change my mind

My dad actually just ordered some plain RX-8 center caps off of Ebay for $20.00

I didn't even know they sold those, haha. The Nissan center caps were too small.

I'm in the process of buying a 2008 evo MR, ive always wanted an evo and I found a great deal. I am almost out of warranty and the thought of my motor ceasing scares the **** out of me. Financially I think it's best if I part ways with the 8 cause its only worth 6-7k right now so I don't wanna know what its worth after 100k. Its not 100% yet that I will be trading in but I will find out today or tomorrow.

Yeah its the only car I can realistically afford, and I won't be sacrificing comfort or performance. I really hope I get it though. Don't though, I will one day return to the rotary world. I want to build a FC for straight track use.
