Grats on the car man! You should try out some Rejex when you've got about a day where you don't need the car (it needs time to cure). It's kind of like Zaino for newbs and impatient people - the finish is nearly as glossy and durable, but it doesn't take 20 applications over the course of a weekend.

Have fun with it, be safe. Take it out for some performance driving lessons, it's both fun and it'll get you to learn the ins and outs of the car. It sounds like you're willing to take good care of it and you've done your research, you're going to love it!

nice color, I got a mint one as well I really like the 40th seats being leather on the back instead of plastic which is why I was ok with the cloth in mine.

I think those loops aren't for towing as in towing your car over long distances. It's for temporary towing, as in towing your car out of a ditch.

thanks thanks! ! :D :D

also, i don't know which forum this would go under, but would anyone know how to fix this?

will everyone check on the above for their rx8?

i have it on both sides, right under the driver and passenger.

there seems to be no damage. looks like a manufacturing defect to me.

i know im picky, cmon, i just got it and love it, but do you guys think warranty would cover this?

hmmmmmm. because its perfectly even on both sides, and i see no reason for it to sag. i'll take more pictures later. im tired already. btw can i rip those off without adding side skirts?

it just bugs the hell out of me.

yes, but I wouldn't personally....

worth a shot by taking it to mazda if it bothers you that much...or just do like I suggested with the double sided tape made for body moldings

this doesn't need to turn into a flame fest....
don't stir up sh*t White Shadows and make assumptions when you obviously don't have the facts straight.
