maddy... the first models for rx8s are 2004s... but the rx8s started rolling out in 2003, so you might have a 2004 model rx8, but built in year 2003.. hope that makes sense

Yep.....even though your was built in 2003 (so was mine), it was introduced as a 2004 model. Aftermarket parts for 2004's are designed for your car.

Production officially began in FEB-03........

Most of the world call these 2003 models a 2003 model, however

The American way is to call these 2003 model cars a 2004 model

Despite 60,100 RX-8's produced in 2003 with probably half those sales in the USA most AMericans live in ignorant blis about the real world outside their borders..

maddy perhaps you should have listed you were in Australia - that would have provided the answer

um, how were we supposed to know he lives in australia? come to think of it, how do you know?

And what did we say in the first place to make you think of americans as "ignorant"? I believe we were just trying to answer his question.....

Personally I think most people in general are ignorant, myself included. I just try hard to keep it from getting worse.

If it was an American marketed car the 10th digit of the VIN is always a year indicator. From 01+ the number is the year of the model.
