Yeah, I rattle canned my wheels last year because I was trying to decide on what to have them painted as. I was going to go with black but I did a dark grey instead. I just put them back on last night as I have been rocking winter wheels. I will have them professionally done at some point. My 8 is black as well.

A guy in my office, he drives his wife's black RX8 in every now and then. He had the OEM 18" shipped to Colorado and got them chrome dipped. Can't decide if I like it or not, but either way I'm trying to convince him that his wife needs new wheels and to sell me his stocker 18" for my Mz3.
Not easy to convince a 50+ year old guy that he needs to buy his wife aftermarket wheels.

I'll be there at 7 with the little man unless it is pouring rain. Heck, might be there anyway.

Awesome to meet everyone tonight and for graciously accepting a Mz3 guy! Can't wait until the 14th.
Oh posted a few pics of the Veyron I talked about tonight just to prove this actually did happen. I did have to change my shorts after getting the pictures next to this car. 1000hp people!!!!!!!! 2 of them were outside, the other 2 were inside.

Had a great time tonight! Thanks to Jenny for stepping up and organizing everything.
It was great meeting all of you in person - what a cool group of people you all are! I hope my little guy wasn't too much of a busybody. I look forward to our next get-together - I learned a lot from all of you and had a really good time!
Mark, my sincere apologies again on behalf of both myself and Alex for the flying milk. I owe you a beer, soda or other miscellaneous beverage of your choosing.
J.D. (& Alex)

Aaron- I missed that story. Im jealous. Not 1 BUT 4!?!
Nice meeting you all tonight! My pics turned out crappy. I have not mastered night shots. Plus I didn't get to take many.

We'll get more pics at the next meet. I'll see if I can borrow my mom's SLR camera for that.
I had a great time, too. It was especially nice to hear from Chris and Jayna that I can actually do some stuff to my car without a degree in mechanics. And thanks, J.D., for making me feel comfortable about auto-x. I guess I will be out there this year after all!
Now it's time to get the other thread pumpin and get some more people out! I've done a lot of recruiting in the real world - I talk to every 8 driver I see and mention the forum.
And nowwwww I have to do some stuff to my car before the next meet!

I have spent all day on this freakin forum and other websites trying to decide what to buy first! LOL I am looking at the K&N intake, clear corners, and a couple different body kits (I like the front bumper of the Ings+1 kit and the side skirts of the Mint Blue kit). The clear corners are probably the only thing that will get done before the next meet... the body kit will obviously be a while!
Chris, you are so mixed up on the KC thing in the forum names, huh? RYAN was there last night... he is kcmo. Matt was getting his body kit installed - he is kcvandal. =P
Ryan, got some questions for ya on the wheels/tires things... I'll pm ya. Also, where'd you get your body kit painted and how much was it?

Hey Aaron are the intakes and exhaust universial between the I and the S model of the 3? Also babyboyblue I think is his handle but the buy at the meet last night with the 3s got a Mazda speed intake! Can’t wait to hear it.
