yeah I have never been sold on the stock wing- but thought the mazda speed was too much $$- BUT I do like the euro rear lip spoiler quite a bit! yeah we had an ice jam that completely tore the gutter off the house on tyhe side where the ceiling collapsed- thank god for insurance huh>? I will try creating a new Kain this afternoon
I have also tried emailing cardinal to see what they thought but no response>? My cupholders got hot as heck last summer as well- as far as the battery- I had not drove my car for almost a month- but it was in the garage and I would start it up every few days- there were a few times I was worried with the extended cranking time- I will bring this up with them as well- was thinking of maybe getting an optima battery- zaino is what my car has been begging me for- hey! have you had any rust problems on your lugnuts>? also I took my truck to the new fantasy carwash over in east lincoln (180th and center 
) and got the delux wash- it actually DID NOT touch my truck! was thinking of taking the 8 there- what do you think>? Oh and sans the guys at the end with the dirty towels rubbing dirt into your paint for a tip

The euro spoiler is cool -- I would probably have gotten that if the MS wing wasn't tempting me for only 4 bills -- hard to pass that up!
My 8 will never see a carwash but Fantasy's is the best of the automated places. Visual Perfection - the detail shop in my building will baby your 8 and do a complete hand wash inside and out for $25 -- I have only let them wash her 5 times and only because it is freezing outside -- otherwise I do it myself and only with Zaino :D
No rust problems -- but I have had my winter rims (and lug nuts) on since November.
There is a copy of the cupholder TSB on the board if you need a reference for the dealer.

I think I am gonna get some aftermarket ones-kinda have been doing yellow everything- but am not sure about yellow nuts- have you painted your calipers yet>? I saw a yellow 8 at lunch- he looked as happy as I was driving. Is he on this board that you know of>?

Visual Perfection 14301 FNB parkway 964-1221 -- Just tell them Jeff with the RX-8 referred you. They are in the yellow pages under Auto Detailing. Great guys and they treat the cars like their own -- like I said they do all of ***** Theisen's cars and you know how many he has!
I am going to paint my calipers once it warms up. The only yellow one I have seen in town is the demo at Olsen.
I have a friend that sells industrial chemicals -- including the soap for certain touchless carwashes and he said the stuff is good at taking grime off the car but is terrible for the finish -- also the wax finish they spray on is not what you would want on your 8 -- will definitely need to dawn wash and clay bar before you Zaino it this spring to get that stuff off.

Welcome back Kain! I kept thinking of those identity theft commercials Knew it had something to do with the cookies.
Those Volk GTC Face-2's that autobauhn posted are tempting me severely this morning -- I better hide the AmEx card :D It is dangerous when the 8 is your company car -- and you own the company!

welcome new husker! by the way last friday a buddy of mine brought over the 96 fiesta bowl from husker vision- it was great! (I did not move to NE till 98-but have always been a husker fan) exactly an hour long and crazy smash-mouth football! It really made the last two years teams look even worse- we need a new lawrence phillips ans christian peter! maybe pederson was right. anyway enough big red politics- how is the body kit coming rxhusker>? I REALLY want to see it

I have the wing and got it repaired already -- just waiting to put it on. The front bumper should be here end of the week (truck freight on that) and the side skirts here next week (they were out of stock). I also just this morning ordered the R-Magic eyelines and JIC coilovers from Vivid :D Dang this is going to be a mean machine

Hello, I'm mooneycj and I'm addicted to rotaries!
This is my 1st post, just recently discovered the forum. I'm in Omaha, NE. I have a 1 month old (just turned over 500 miles today) winning blue with touring package and a spoiler. This is my 2nd rotary experience, the 1st being a 1986 RX-7 that I bought my new bride for a wedding present. The RX7 was good, the RX8 is great!
Will look forward to chatting with others from the midwest and Omaha area.

Welcome mooneycj! What part of town are you from?
I am up for a lunch and a drive! We just need to pick a date. If we wait a few weeks I will have my MS bodykit installed so everyone can see what it looks like in person :D

How about Friday -- someplace central for everybody:
A few ideas:
Sam & Louie's on 76th & Cass St.
BrazenHead on 78th & Cass St.
Jim & Jenny's 90th & Maple

Any day but Wednesday works for me. I'm in West "O" but don't mind driving. Brazenhead works, Panera's (I'm on a diet!), Great American Bagel, Olive Garden, Applebees - all on the Dodge St. corridor. More upscale and west would be Charleston's, Upstream, McKenna's. Since I'm the newbie, you guys pick, anything is fine for me. Just a reminder, I'm a middle aged, thinning hair conservative - don't want to scare anyone away
