Very nice. Tell me though, is the gray darker than it looks in the pictures? I almost would have thought that was the silver.

 

I have noticed that it's difficult to accurately represent the true shade but this statement represents all colors of the 8. The gray has a lot of color variance depending on the direction of the sun, whether you use a flash etc.. The silver in general is quite light compared to the gray and most of the time easily distinguishable once you've seen a few pictures of the two.

So the gray is darker, but not as dark as green or black. It is light enough that the appearance package, if installed, is immediately evident. The appearance package on the darker colors doesn't seem as noticeable.

 

hey norats, there's something familiar about your pics...

did u guys meet in the parking lot of dave and buster's in san diego? i've only been there twice (company holiday parties the past 2 years) but a building and parking lot tucked underneath the expressway isn't easy to forget!

 

Yup, Dave & Busters, good eye!

 

Just got mine in.

Nice pics, Kuf.

I realized that the dial *** design of air conditioner is difffernt in Japan.

Also seems to have cruse control switches on steering.
In Japan, the cruse control is not an option for MT.

 

Well y'all, the day had finally come. I got the call yesterday evening & got there close to 10pm. Finally broke out of the place a little past midnight. Couldn't go to bed till it was past 2am. Had to drive it home in the dark'n'wet & I was totally wired all the way.:D
She's sooooooo sweet! I'm breakin her in the conservative way. She had 4 miles on her, now she has 41. This is the first time I even saw the velocity red in person & I'm elated with it! That mica sparkles so nicely, especially under lights. The red/black interior goes so well with it too.
Kudos to Mike Weaver @ Wray Mazda for treating it as though it was his own. He wouldn't let me go until he described every little thing that he could think of. Whew! It was past midnight when he finally let us go & I think he was more wired than me, smiling like a chesire cat the whole time! Great guy.

Well, here she is, with me giving my "rotary salute". Cheers!

edit - let's keep the pix in these posts, huh?

 

She is indeed a beauty. I have a silver 8, but when I saw the red at the dealer I had some serious second thoughts. The red doesn't really show itself off until you have seen it in the sun. Congrats.

 

Congrats, Zen (rotor) Masta Racer X-8.

love this thing
went cruzin tonigt and all the kids were chasing me down..
wanted to see !!
fun evening
:D

 

Here my beautiful blue RX8. This car is everything I expected and more. Changed from silver to blue.

 

Congrats! The blue has turned out to be a great color "in-person". If they would have had the black/blue interior, that would have been a serious option for me to consider to the red. But now since I have it, I'm pretty happy with my red.

BTW, did everybody see the rotary shape at the end of desmo996's belt.? Something about this car, has me looking for hidden rotary accents everywhere.

 

Anyone has pictures of RX8 with splash guard?

 

You haven't even seen it yet :D

It does look great though.

 

Now THAT really hurts!

 

sorry...Soon bud Soon!

 

Nothing but smiles, I got mine 7/30.

 

Somebody wanted to see an 8 with mudflaps. Take another pic that shows the back.

 

Back with flaps
