nice car. and you lucky europeans get the lipspoiler. that think is kinda sought after here in the states and is typically hard and/or expensive to come by...at least it was until mazdaparts got them in.

and the thing that people are asking about is the white sticker(?) right above the side vents.

I just got mine about a week ago and I'm in love with it! I definetly am experiencing that same excitement! haha! Question for anyone else out there reading this...the sales guy at the dealership told me to rev the engine to 5 rpms before turning it off each and every time to avoid flooding the engine as I'm sure ya'll know, what I'm curious about though is in the manual it says to rev it to 3 rpms...any suggestions here? I don't know if it makes a difference at all really aside from using a few drops of gas more, but let's face it, with gas prices these days every drop counts...so yah, 3 or 5 rpms? and every time it get's shut off for the duration of it's life? Thanks everyone! Looking forward to spending some time in this forum!

Thanks guys.
Sorry for the time it took me to respond but I was out, you know, driving.
Anyway, for those of you asking, the white thingy is the sticker of the dealer. Thinking about removing it. But it doesn't look that bad...
We 'll see...

Oh and the clear corners is the way the car comes in Europe.

Thanks once again for your kind words

Driving your new rx8 all the time is recomended. As far as the sticker goes... I think the consensus here would be to remove it!!!!!! It looks really bad to me, but I'm only looking at a picture.

Mazda didn't design such a beautiful fender design to have some dealership put thier STICKER ON IT!

You are right. Do you know of any good way to do so without damaging the paint? Yesterday I was looking at it really close, and does not really look like a sticker. It looks like paint. But it is probably some high-tech sticker anyway.

TIA
